Great Service for a Fantastic Hike! - We had a great visit to PR6/6.1 starting with a prompt and friendly pickup from Adriana - our transfer driver.
Adriana was polite and shared some great knowledge of Madeira whilst taking us to Rabaçal to start our hike.
We felt safe with Adriana’s driving and wouldn’t hesitate to book a transfer for a PR6 hike with ‘Do It Madeira’.

Gorgeous walk to the waterfalls - Gorgeous walk to see the waterfalls and Levadas. Is busy in some places as expected but have times where you are the only ones on the trail. Adriana our driver was amazing, very punctual and knowledgable about Madeira, shared many interesting facts with us and even took us a different way back to show us parts of the island. Definitely recommend.

Great way to do a few PRs - Great service, vehicle was immaculate and driver very friendly. You get quite a long time so if you’re reasonably fit you can do an extra PR

This is the way to do it! - This wasn’t just a self guided drop off and pick up service. It was so much more, because our driver - Henrique, filled the whole journey with his local knowledge and valuable advice for a traveller that wants to get the best experience of the area.

Very good experience - Our driver and guide Pedro was super friendly, he brings the discussion very easily and makes us want to do the hike.I highly recommend this excursion. Pick up at the hotel, transfer to the place of the excursion , very clear explanations of the hike, and recovery at the end of the walk.

Hike with adult children - This trip was awesome. Everything went smoothly with the transfer and the waterfalls were great. The trails were well marked so we didn’t have a concern about not having a guide. Beware, this hike is not easy, especially starting at the parking lot. I suggest an early start as the afternoon was quite crowded. But, the cafe doesn’t open until 10, so if you need a restroom before then you need a 50 cent coin to access the pay toilets.

Excellent tour guide and hike! Would definitely recommend - We had an amazing time!! Henrique was an excellent and very knowledgeable driver, he arrived promptly and was very well informed about the local area. The hike was very enjoyable (if slightly tiring on the way back up) and the cafe was a nice surprise! We would definitely recommend going on the earlier tour (6am) as we missed all the crowds (we were mostly by ourselves for the whole walk) and it was amazing to be there just before dawn. Would definitely recommend!! 5/5

Beautiful but very touristy - Beautiful walk only lots of people and you walk the same part twice. If you start early you have less ladt of the crowds (before 10 am)
