Transfer to Vereda do Larano – Self-Guided Hike.

I had an amazing experience with my transfer! It was actually the second time I had a transfer with them because I can say now they are the nicest and most helpful people. Not only do they pick you up from your accomodation (which the other providers don’t really do) but they are very caring in the communication via WhatsApp on giving all the information, weather conditions and so on. As I was hiking solo the driver checked out on me during my hike asking if I was ok, also gave me two options for a pick up depending on the time left. The time for the hike was calculated perfectly, I didn’t have to rush but I also didn’t have to wait long in the sun and heat. I feel like everybody in the car had a nice experience and felt like they are taken care of. Would totally recommend!!!!!

The driver was very friendly and punctual. We were brought by Fábio and he was very open to questions and gave us all the important information. If you do not have your own rental car, I can highly recommend the transfer. The PR9 hike was also beautiful and doable for everyone; there are no steep inclines, which makes the hike really pleasant. In between it is a bit crowded, especially when you arrive at the waterfall at the end, but that is normal.

We went on a self guided walk of Vereda do Larano with Levadas In and Out, and we thought the experience was excellent. We were given plenty of information before the hike. Fabio gave up pick up information and collected us on time. He was very kind and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time to do the walk and were able to access someone if we had any questions. I would definitely recommend this company and we liked they did some hiking transfers to levadas and walks that others don't offer!

A great hike of just under 8 miles. Some amazing scenery from extremely steep and unguarded cliff tops. Be warned, this hike isn't for you if you don't like heights! Our guide, Flávio, was excellent and gave us a good briefing on what to expect. He also gave lots of background info on Madeira and sent links to help us navigate. My only concern was not having a physical map to refer to. I think this would be a useful addition as an extra precaution. My mobile battery was very low towards the end after using the Alltrails app and a physical map would have provided reassurance. An all round good experience!

Fabio was a great driver and guide that gave very clear instructions (in advance and at the starting point) and was always reachable by phone in case of problems. The hike was beautiful and peaceful and easy to follow. Definitely a hidden gem on the island. Would recommend!

Booking We had a really great experience with Levadas In and Out for our transfer to Vereda do Larano. Everything was smooth from start to finish, with all details we would need the day before, which made it completely stress free and the whole process very easy for us. Transfer Our transfer driver Fábio was excellent, very friendly, knowledgeable, and a great driver. I usually can feel car sick on windy roads, but the drive was very smooth and relaxing! Fábio really added to our experience with great insights and a welcoming attitude. Before setting off, Fábio provided loads of helpful information such as weather updates, route directions and options, and important tips for the walk, which we really appreciated. It was also great they gave us two different options for where we could be picked up, so we could head to the beach cafe as we had a bit of time to spare! The biggest advantage was definitely the convenience of being dropped off at one end and picked up at the other. It saved us the hassle of trying to organise parking or doubling back, which would have been difficult. Hike The hike was beautiful, and great that you get to experience forest levadas and also coastal views! We were worried the walk was very exposed, however it was absolutely fine. The paths are wide and there’s railings on any dangerous parts. The walk was also far less crowded than some of the PR trails and it was lovely having the path to ourselves for most of it. Definitely a hidden gem of a trail! Recommendation Overall, now that we have done the transfer, there is no way I would drive after seeing the chaos of the car parks there with people walking an extra hike just to get from their car to the beginning of the trail! Far easier and less stressful being dropped right at the start. We’d absolutely recommend booking direct with Levada’s In and Out to anyone planning to do a hike in Madeira. We would definitely book with them again when we hopefully return to Madeira again!

We had such a great experience! Everything was perfectly organized and the whole team was friendly and professional. A special mention to Fabio, our driver, who really brought the energy and hyped up the whole group both on the way there and on the way back! It’s honestly a pity we only discovered you at the end of our trip, because we would have happily booked all our activities with you for the entire week. We highly recommend their services and will definitely contact them again next time we’re back!
