Nice views,,waterfalls and caves but an easy hike.Guide was informative and felt safe at all times.Alslo pick up was on time and overall nice experience
Many thanbks for taking the time to submit your review and your feedback about the views, waterfalls and caves on the Caldeirão Verde levada walk in Madeira and especially the informaiton shared by the guide and logistics.
This December my wife and I traveled to Madeira for our honeymoon. We knew that we wanted to get out in nature, but weren’t sure what hike to start with. We had a pretty basic checklist. It had to include waterfalls, beautiful views, and be a distance that wouldn’t leave us sore for the rest of our trip. This hike checked all of those boxes and more. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared interesting history about the levadas throughout the hike. It was immediately obvious how much he cared about land and wildlife conservation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the hike to anyone who asks.
The views from this hike were absolutely breathtaking! Bruno our guide was brilliant and explained thoroughly where we were going. We had such a fantastic day out, my camera roll was full by the end of it! We completed this in October 2025 and the weather was perfect, not too hot but no rain. Wouldn't recommend if you don't have a head for heights or caves (although they're not too bad) And take torches and appropriate footwear.
Relatively easy hike in idyllic surroundings. There is an opportunity to pick up a picnic at supermarket en route to hike.
1-The company communication is terrible, you ask them a question several times and they don’t reply, because of that I waited 1hr for the transfer. 2-Driver was good, friendly and called me when he got at the pick up point. 3-The van was great, new and comfortable with AC. 4-Guide was average, not much knowledge shared, I don’t like when talking too much, but too little is no great as well. 5-The walk was stunning, definitely worth doing but not with this company.
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience and perspective of our guided levada walk in Madeira. 1. All reservations received a confirmation e-mail via the same channell booking is made. Guests are informed to contact us if they don´t receive pickup the day before. Unfortunately Viator does not issue "read receipts" like other platforms - we will strive to see how to improve this. 2. If driver had to call you, you were not at the pickup point at requested time ... an oustanding service provided by the pickup team 3. great you enjoyed the new vehicles and AC 4. always dificult for a guide to manage a walking group´s "likes" - between too much and too little talking 5. last but not least, great you thought the guided walk was stunning We also offer private guided walking tours in Madeira, which might be better suited to your needs.
The views from the levada were wonderful. The path itself is flat, however there are parts where it is narrower, and one is basically walking on the side of the cliff. There are 3 tunnels where one should be careful with the head as they get low, otherwise they're alright, our guide told us what to expect at each one before we entered. Bring a headlamp if you can, we used the torch from our phones, which also worked fine. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The waterfall was beautiful, as the whole experience.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed this Madeira levada walk and the variety of views along the route. While levada walks are generally flat, some sections can be narrow or exposed, and tunnels are a natural part of many hikes on the island. This is precisely where having an experienced local guide adds value — explaining what to expect in advance, managing pace, and ensuring everyone feels comfortable and safe throughout the walk. We are glad the practical advice, friendly guiding, and local knowledge helped enhance the experience, and that the waterfall and overall scenery made the levada hike especially memorable. Thank you for choosing to explore Madeira with a guide.
Superb excursion, Bruno is an excellent guide Excursion made in French so top The landscapes are beautiful, Bruno's explanations complete the visit well Go in group, return to autonomy which allows you to go at your own pace I really recommend this tour
It was a great experience. Beautiful nature. The guide was fantastic, the group was good. It was really fun and the waterfall was amazing😉.
Our guide - Bruno, was great, informative and easy going. Felt safe on this route the whole time. Great balance between structure and free time to explore.
Fantastic trip, despite the weather at the start, but that can’t be helped and actually made it more atmospheric in the forest. Guide Bruno was fun and very helpful, full of information.
