Great easy walk to start the holiday. Long but suitable for all ages with great views. Couple of moments you’re very high so be cautious if afraid of heights.

We had a fabulous day out and our guide Martha was exceptional. Very highly recommended. The hike itself was great and the scenery was beautiful

Great views of waterfalls and the surrounding mountains. Mostly shaded walkways running next to the levadas. Excellent guide with knowledge of most of the local flora. Not too tough physically.

Well organised and guided walk in stunning scenery. First experience of walking a levada was memorable and definitely would do it again.

Beautiful nature and views. Small group is nice way to do Levada walks. Our Guide Pedro was also nice person who was not bored with guide work.

The walk is about 7 miles with short stops at various points The guide was ally friendly and knowledgeable , also made the walk fun. We stopped at cafe on the way and back for refreshments too.

The guide and transport were very good.. Although we had a confirmation pick up time of 8.40 and the guide pitched up at 8.15… Administrative mistake… Pleasant journey up to the falls… We are a fit 60yr old couple, but this was definitely not an ‘easy ‘ walk by any standards. Lots of walking up and down for 13kms…. I had mistakenly thought we were seeing 25 waterfalls whilst in fact we saw 4… The worst part for me personally, which did spoil the day for me… Was when halfway through the tour… The guide announced that we would be walking 800m through a tunnel… I am severely claustrophobic and would never had booked the tour, had there been any mention of this anywhere! Shame because the guide did try to make the tour informative, he was very safety conscious and pleasant…

Well organised trip, picked up on time at a location close to where we were staying in central Funchal. Stopped for small break before the walk to go the toilet and buy any snacks/drinks (no official locations on the route to go the toilet). Guide was informative, friendly and went at a moderate pace based on the group pace. The trek was about 3.5 hours total, would of maybe like 10-15 more minutes at the main waterfall personally but still had about 25 minutes there.
