Beautiful hike - I enjoyed the hike from start to finish to the fullest! The organization was excellent – I was picked up directly from the hotel on time and felt completely well looked after. Despite my knee problems and slower pace, I was able to go through the hike without any problems as the team really took everyone into consideration. We visited breathtaking places and the scenery was just beautiful. I can highly recommend this hike to anyone and would immediately participate again! Thank you very much!

Great tour to the 25 fontes - Great walking tour to the 25 fontes and the Risco waterfall. The tour started with a walk trough a long levada tunnel to the Rabacal area. Fantastic scenery and verdant vegetation. The mist and light rain only heighten the experience. Pedro was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended.

A great walk to the 25 fontes - A great walk in the Levada to the 25 Fontes. Our guide, Pedro, was knowledgeable about plants, birds and the history of the Levadas. We stopped on the way for coffee at a lovely local cafe. We had an exciting walk through a 1km tunnel, which needed a torch. It was a moderate walk- mostly flat but with some steps to climb. A great experience. Would recommend.

Very nice hike - Superb hike to the levadas of 25 fontes e risco. 10km of wonder. The hike lasts about 4 hours. Take care of in Funchal by our super Guide who will also explain the surroundings during the transfer and plants during the hike. The hike is not especially hard (lots of food). There's just some big steps. Provide waterproof shoes and rainwear. Up there it's cool.

Great hike, good for beginners, knowledgable guide, convenient pickup and drop off - I had a fantastic time on the hike with our guide. He picked us up from our accommodation which was convenient and very kindly dropped us off on the centre Funchal after the hike. His knowledge of the hiking trails, Madeira and the forest is great and I felt very safe exploring the forest with him - as someone who is not very good with directions. The picture spots and views were very impressive and the hike was definitely manageable for beginners. On the way back from the main viewpoint of the hike, we had the option of different routes and difficulties to choose from which was nice to have the flexibility.

Levada walk Rabacal 25 Fontes - A really enjoyable walk. Quite a lot of steps in places but if you take your time the views and waterfalls are worth the effort. Take water and snacks as there is nowhere to purchase anything. Be prepared for rain and clouds but there is lots of tree cover and it's not cold. When u walk through the tunnel, if there is rain 🌧 there will be puddles that you will have to walk through. If wearing trainers and not waterproof walking shoes or boots. Your feet will get wet.

Would recommend - Amazing views of both the 25 fountains waterfall and Risco waterfall- the later was a real highlight of our holiday. Our guide, Pedro was great and shared his knowledge about the local area and plants in an engaging way. The pace was good for a mix of abilities. The only part I did not enjoy was going though a dark and wet tunnel for 1km- walking boots/shoes and a torch are essential!

Poor communication & allows you to book a trip on a closed trail! - The night before we're meant to leave I quickly have a look at the trail on google maps and notice it's marked as closed. Looks like it had been closed for months (so why could I even book this trip?) I contact Explore Nature twice, with no reply. I then contact Viator who look into it for me and tell me it's been cancelled. After Viator had reached out on my request I did get an email from the company telling me it was cancelled because of bad weather (the weather was absolutely perfect for hiking, slightly overcast with zero rain). Everyones time is a little precious, especially on holiday. This company seem very happy to waste it for you.
