Great - The trip was amazing, our guide was amazing as well. The 25 fountains stop is disappointing, too many influencers occupy the place for photoshoots. Other stops and views are really beautiful so its worth it.

Great day out! - Samuel was a very informative guide. Our group had several age ranges and he made sure everyone was included and looked after. From when we were picked up to the end of the day our guide was imparting his knowledge of the island to us all.

Lovely levada walk - Very busy but a very fun hike. Highly recommend! Lovely cafe near the start. Waterfalls are popular and get very busy however we still really enjoyed ourselves.

Top notch! - I walked 25 fontes route and the new Stairway to Heaven route on different days. Both fantastic. Really, really excellent guides shared plenty of knowledge along the way. I particularly enjoyed the Stairway to Heaven for the vistas above the cloud lines across incredible peaks. As well as these two hikes, I took a sunset catamaran trip, a jeep tour and a mini bus tour. All activities were well organised and all communication at the organising stage when I had questions, and during when a change needed to be made the day before, was efficient and super friendly. All in all, Madeira Adventure Kingdom helped maximise the enjoyment and fun of my island holiday. I recommend highly.

Great hike, great guide! - The hike was easy and memorable. The views were very nice, and the guide (Ruben) was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the hike, flora and fauna. Marta was a super safe and reliable driver. Highly recommended!

Awesome route and guide - Route itself was beautiful, the last part was especially good since there were not a lot of people on a way to Calheta. Guide was making stops along the way to share info so the tempo was good and not stressful

Good first hike - We did this hike, which is also known as PR6, on a week day. We arrived at the car park ~08:30am, early enough to avoid the crowds. Although the hike is ~4.5km, you need to walk for ~2km down a path before descending to the lagoon. You know you are at the right point to descend to the lagoon when you see a cafe. The descent to the lagoon is ~2.5km. We completed the route from the car park and back in ~3 hours. I'd recommend doing this hike as early in the day as possible because the lagoon is quite small and crowds do start forming from 10am onwards. A mini bus runs down the 2km path between the cafe and the car park. We didn't use it in the morning as the service starts at 9am. There are toilets near the cafe, but you will need a 50cent coin to use it.

Enjoyable walk - It was an enjoyable walk with a good guide who provided a lot of information. Pick up was scheduled for 8.30 but wasn't picked up till 8.55. The walk was good and scenic with a couple of longish sets of steps and one tunnel (torch required) near the end leading out to some lovely views. The only problem was it was very busy but I suppose these days it's to be expected !

View with an attitude - The hike was great and the views are amazing. But the tour guide was rude, condescending, and ruined the beauty of the hike. His attitude was unpleasant and acted like he was doing us a favor. I would use a different tour company next time.
