Great experience, gladly again. - A great experience in a beautiful landscape. It was a great experience. A great many people were on site, so there has been a slight backlog at bottlenecks. But all the people have been accommodating. The contact with TripAdvisor and also with the operator were very good. The driver was very polite and accommodating. All appointments were right. Always happy again

Amazing walk and enjoyable ride - The hike was moderately difficult and the views were amazing. As one of the best parts, I personally consider the opportunity to swim in the waterfall lake at the end of levada pr 6.0 - if you are brave enough to embrace the cold water.
The second levada led us to the stunning and majestic waterfall, with small sparks of water falling all around you.
Big shout-out to our driver Luis that was talkative, friendly and overall awesome - he gave us a lot information and tips suitable for our stay at Madeira.

A well-planned hike, giving us awesome memories - 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.

All worth it once you reach the end. - 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.

A bit overpriced for drop on drop off - Well… honestly for a drop on drop off to the Levadas it’s probably a bit overpriced. The Levadas are nice but you should get there as early as possible…. We did’nt have a choice apart of departure at 8:50, which was too late.
