An incredible experience yet again. Amazing company that organises things really well and keeps in good contact throughout the experience. We've now done the Pico to Pico and this Levada hike with them, and we will definitely use them again for future ones when we come back.

25 Falls in the end if you count each stream. It's not all flat and 0.5km of stairs which do get tiring. Rest of the trail is nice and easy to walk . Fall is at the end where you can have your snack and enjoy. Do follow the signs because there are detours to different walks. A nice Cafe at the starting point with plenty of options. Parking at entrance get full and try to take the Van $ from entrance to the Cafe. Will save you time and energy. Return from Cafe to parking lot is uphill.

Gorgeous hike and great to get there early and have the space to ourselves at first. The guides gave us lots of info and made it very easy to maintain contact if needed but it was great to get make our own way along the hikes. We stayed in the area so was a very quick pick up and drop off for us. Overall, great experience and would happily do another hike through their company.

We booked self guided as we needed a lift to the start of the walk and back again. It took 2 hours (!) to drive back to Funchal (the journey out was 45min) as the driver kept stopping to look at banana plants or cows or nativity scenes or…. He said he wanted to show us a waterfall in the road but this was too much. He didn’t stop talking for those 2 hours! I felt hot and sick when I left the van. If we wanted a guided tour, we would have booked one. The walk was lovely.

The experience was amazing and the guide Filipe was so nice, entertaining and full of information and good spots to check out. Very good communication from i a member called Logan when there was car problems that was fixed quickly and when Filipe was ready to pick us up. The hike it self was peaceful and the views were amazing. Would definitely recommend and do more hikes with this company.

Another great walk, the scenery and waterfalls are amazing. Logan was in contact with us as before and we were picked up by Filipe on time. It’s an early start but as we had the waterfalls with just 2 other people it was definitely worth it. We passed lots of people as we were walking back after the 2nd waterfall. So we definitely beet the rush. After the walk Filipe took us the scenic route back and showed us so much more. A great days hiking and fantastic service from Felipe.

Not everyone likes to hike with a group. So, normally - if you don’t have a rental car, you’re kinda lost. Thanks for this transfer which was enriched with good vibes and a lot of information. The wheather wasn’t that nice, but I enjoyed this beautiful hike anyway. You walk mostly under the trees. If you wear your rain jacket everything’s fine.

The hike is gorgeous and is very easy to follow, so doing the self guided tour was the best option! Filipe provided us all the information we needed ahead of the tour and we could then walk at our own pace and had plenty of time to stop, take photos and eat something. We started earlier than other groups which made a huge difference as there are some parts where the path is very narrow and it made the walk much more relaxed as it's a very popular trail. There are no restaurants or toilets apart from Casa Rabacal close to the start. Filipe also gave us a lot of information about all sorts of things on the way there and back and Logan sent us some good suggestions of things to do and places to eat. We had a different hotel on the way back, which he accommodated with no problem. Communication was great all the way through. Thanks for a great experience Filipe and Logan!

Amazing trip with Amazing company. Early pickup to beat the crowds was a winner👌🏽 Logan was in constant contact with us before, during and afterwards. Also added on a little free trip afterwards wich was a bonus. Very knowledgeable driver who explained everything perfectly and told us all the history. Highly recommended
