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.

Wonderful Levada exploration. - Walking along the tranquil and beautiful Levada trail. Really stunning surroundings and the highlight of the walk was the waterfall. Bonus tunnel walk too!

Strenuous and worth seeing - Guided hike with several waterfalls along the levadas through the UNESCO fairy forest, about 12 km in 4 hours. The route through a long tunnel was impressive.

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! ☺️
