Great day out, perfect weather (chilly in the early morning), admiring the nature and various landscape. Loads of picture spots, memorable views... reasonable fitness level + good shoes are needed. Highly recommended, very well organized tour (pick up, whatsapp messaging...) along with great guide that come with you throughout the hiking while the van driver pick us all up from the arrival point.

Had a fantastic day out with Darya today up the Picos. She was so interesting, funny and cute. Weather was amazing so great photos too. Thank you for an awesome day Darya!

I really enjoyed all of the three hikes we did with them. The guides were really good. Many hikes are better to do with a guide because then the pick up point can be different than the starting point (this and 25 Fontes being good examples). That makes hikes more enjoyable than going back the same way. Highly recommended!

Had a really good experience. The route was beautiful and the weather happened to be also nice! The travel guide was very professional and kind!

We did this with the Madeira Magical Adventure group in May 2023; it's a great experience with fabulous views. It is not too arduous, and as long as you are reasonably fit at any age, it is very manageable. The toughest portion of it are the ~500 steps but if you take your time these are not as bad as they sound; otherwise the paths are very well laid out. Worth doing with a tour group as: 1) the guides here are great. We had Favio who is great fun, full of knowledge , and keeps an eye out for you 2) if you park at one peak you will have to head back, whereas the driver can pick you up 3) If any problems do arise, you have someone in support. The views make this a must when on the island. It's chilly at the top, so protective layers that have a bit of heat (but too warm as you are exercising) and wind protection are advised, but highly recommended.

We did the hike from Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo with Roxana and the Levada das 25 Fontes with Fábio. Roxana was a good guide, always looking out for our safety & Fábio always had some funny stories to tell. Both of them were great :) The pick-up at our accommodation was on time and we were also dropped back by them - very handy! Communication with André, responsible for the bookings, via whatsapp, was also very convenient. André also took care of our catamaran trip, and all was easily arranged when we arrived at the harbour. We definitely recommend Adventure Kingdom ! Thank you for the amazing time!

We really enjoyed the hike. Our tour guide was really nice and knew a lot about the area. Pace was good and enough time to take pictures.

We booked this hike with Madeira Adventure Kingdom and we had a really good day. They did the pick-up and drop-off in our hotel and made sure we were well equipped so we can begin our day. They also provided a picnic (extra cost) and it was delicious. (Ordered during reservation) The views during the hike were breath-taking and for sure will return to discover the rest of the island. Thank you for the experience. We recommend this walk for sure!

This hike was challenging, a lot of stairs but it was really great, such a wonderfull view and the guide that was with the group was amazing, explained everything to us. To do this activity you really have to be in good physical condition. It has some tunnels.
