Easy walk with great views - Easy booking process with good communication. The guide was excellent and tailored his tour to the young adults well. The van was clean and comfortable.

Very pleasant walk - Pedro was a great guide, he took the time to explain the local vegetation and the history of the place. Very charming walk, rather flat, with some stairs. To pass through the tunnel, it is strongly recommended to have waterproof shoes.

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.

Company cancelled at last minute - Difficult to write a review…as the company cancelled the evening before our 8.30am trip the next day! No reason, just a “we have cancelled your trip”. Tried to find an alternative for the day as we were leaving the following day…but of course everything else was booked or not available. Later got a note from Tripadvisor saying it was due to the weather (the whole island was in sun with a light breeze). Very disappointing, and my fist negative review ever on Tripadvisor.

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.

Bad communication - They canceled our trip 8pm the night before it was to take place. Their reason was “bad weather”. It was 70 and sunny the day of the walk. I understand it was probably canceled do to lack of people, but I should have been told that and possibly given the option to pay more to go. Very disappointed

Crap don’t bother - Absolute rip off , trip was cancelled 11pm the night before, stating weather conditions as reason , when weather was absolutely fine, guessing not enough people booked, still no sign of refund!
