The magic of a fairy tale painted in green colour. All along the path, the rich vegetation is present together with the levada that has an abundance of water nearly all year around. Encounter at the end of the path the magnificent waterfall and the famous green cauldron.

I did 3 walks this March with this excellent company - the Fanal forest walk & the 25 fontes levada as well as the title walk - all these walks were led by Susanna, who is a superb guide, so knowledgeable about the flora & fauna & history of Madeira, thoroughly recommended

Great way to do a levada walk with a small group of others and a guide. Alvaro our guide, was very entertaining and pointed out many interesting plants and birds along the way. The five hours passed all too quickly.
I hiked the Queimafas - Caldeirão. A beautiful hike through the nature of Madeira. Na should have good footwear and a safe footstep, because the narrow paths, the tunnels and the running on the Levadas and everything with “oncoming traffic” is not an easy walk. But for the view and nature it is definitely worth it. The guide Álvarez has done a fantastic job, with a lot of fun, experience and humor he has brought the group closer to the nature and history of Madeira.
The hike was well organised, great guide, Alvaro was very professional and had great sense of humour. The levada was amazing, stunning views, great forest walk but also tunnels and narrow paths! Dare walk this path!
The actual hike is further on the ground than advertised, but as it is mostly flat we managed the distance with no trouble. The walk in itself is very varied, with constantly changing scenery and vistas, but our guide (Sofia?) made it even more interesting, pointing out flora which in England are classed as plants or bushes but which grow into trees on Madeira! Examples included varieties of heather and, most surprisingly, the dandelion! She also kept us aware of hazards, such as particularly narrow sections of the pathway and, in the tunnels, where there was a risk of damage to our heads. By the end of the trip we had gained a very understanding of the history of the levadas as well as the unique landscape of the island.
Throughly enjoyed our hike! Our driver and tour guide took excellent care of us throughout the trip. Beautiful views along the way with an amazing waterfall at the end of the hike.
A great hike with Madeira Free Spirit Walks, picked up on time (as usual) and once all the walkers were in the van were given a debrief of the day. Enroute to the hike Alvaro provided information about the island including the airport, building of the Levadas and Madeiran foods. Alvaro is a professional guide, he ensures all the walkers are comfortable with the pace, stops to ensure we have time to take great pics and explains what we are seeing…whether it be the birds, trees, winds. Stopped for a coffee at the end of the hike and had time to chat about the wonderful hike. Highly recommend this company and will be booking with them again.
