Loved the scenery. The 25... - Loved the scenery. The 25 Fontes are breathtaking. Unique plants and birds in this area. Very interesting area of Madeira that is very important for a large amount of their hydroelectric energy. Highly recommend.

Great views - Efficient pick up and drop off, friendly competent guide. Reliable transport and it was a lovely day as well! My calves hurt a lot afterwards despite only being a moderately hard walk.

A gorgeous scenary & great guide - We had a great trip with a nice group and a very professional guide. The views were majestic, the wethear sunny and wonderfull. Even though I got a panic attack on a narrow mountain path and had to skip the most spectacular part of it, I give to this trip 4 stars. My teenager kids loved the views, especially the waterfalls. But if you have fear of high, narrow, closed or dark places, you should think twice, if you really want to go to this trip… Another dificult part was the 800 m long completely dark and wet tunnel. So you should take a torcher with you or use one on your phone. Also you shoul have good hiking and waterproof shoes on. Our guide was friendly, with a good sence of humor and very helpfull. Thank you! ☺️

25 Fontes - It was a nice and well organized tour! The guide was very nice and told us a lot about the nature on the walk to the 25 fontes. Sadly we just had around 35 minutes to have a break and to jump in for a quick swim at the waterfall. But it was an easy and wonderful hike! A must- see in Madeira!
