Fountain Hike - Fantastic full day out. Great hike, lots of steps and an 800m tunnel to finish off. Our guide, Samuel was so knowledgeable and put safety first the whole trip. Carlos the driver was pleasant and negotiated the busy roads well.

When the rainy weather... - When the rainy weather overflowed the intended Levada hike, our guide brought us to another location. Weather was also better at this location a little farther down the mountain, and we ended up having the most beautiful hike with a rainbow view and informative information about the island’s history and nature along the way.

Peaceful and relaxing - Really enjoyed this walk not to much uphill the views were lovely and waterfalls beautiful, mostly undercover in the trees and along the levada my favourite was walking through the 800mtr tunnel opens up onto the most beautiful view of the sea with wild Lillies Perfect way to finish the walk, thank you to Daria our guide who was very passionate and clearly loved her job

Great hike to 25 Fountains - We were very fortunate to get great weather for our hike which made such a difference. Expected the walk to be more open rather than through the trees but still a great day out. Took us under 3 1/2 hours including lunch break.

25 Fountains Levada walk Madeira - The actual walking trip took about 4 hours although the coach journey each way took about one and a half hours due to picking up people at various locations. The route once we got on to the Levadas was very busy as was the area around the 25 fountains waterfall. It should be noted that the walk includes lots of downwards steps which were both uneven and slippery. I think the description of the tour should make this clearer. The guide was very informative and did his best to keep the group together in the busy areas and repeated his safety warnings throughout the walk. The walk through the unlit tunnel near the end of the walk was OK but might concern anybody with claustrophobia. Overall a good experience but I would have enjoyed it more if there were fewer slippery steps! Also the half hour stop at the Cafe on the journey back seemed unnecesary and added nothing to the trip as people would have wanted to get back to their hotels.

Too crowded - This is a moderate hiking experience but has a lot of steps up and down and is very crowded. So crowded that the beauty at the end of the hike is compromised because there isn’t room to sit and enjoy it.
