Additional Information

We journey west to the enchanting destination of Rabaçal in Calheta, from where we commence a three-hour hike (roughly) through a lush evergreen forest, offering wonderful vistas and delightful experiences. This trek allows us to enjoy breathtaking waterfalls, intricately craved into old valleys, natural springs, and native species of plants and animals (within the Laurissilva Forest). Post the hike, there is an opportunity for a lunch stop (not included in package) at a traditional Madeiran restaurant in Paúl da Serra, the largest plateau on the island standing nearly 1500 metres tall with mesmerising views. Following that, we have an exciting downhill off-road to the South Coast. Proceeding along the coastline, we visit Cabo Girão, renowned for its glass-bottomed lookout that offers a sweeping view of the Atlantic, Câmara de Lobos and Funchal. Finally, we take the oldest roads to Câmara de Lobos, a historic fishing village in Madeira with fascinating customs and history.

Only way to see the levadas is by 4x4 and tunnel walk - Awesome experience. Taking the 4x4 allowed us to have a great levadas walk and fountain experience without the crowds. Also included a very cool trek through a 800m tunnel requiring flashlights. Took us to lunch after at the Jungle Rain, (get the skewers) then through ‘short cuts! that were off the beaten path and very fun. Highly recommend Gil Sousa as your guide. Super knowledgeable and friendly. He was also very efficient with our time. If we were done and ready to move on he was ready to go.

Fun day in the country - Very enjoyable and fun day. As well as being a knowledgeable guide, Gill gave us a great sense of what life on Madeira is like. You don't need to be super fit to manage the walk. You will get your feet wet in the tunnel, so wear appropriate shoes. It is a very social day too.

Great walk, fun jeep ride in beautiful Madeira - We had a fantastic adventure made even better by our guide, It was a great relief to be able to experience the Levada walk and surrounding areas with an excellent guide and driver, Gil (who shared so much knowledge of Madeira). A great day all around.

Great value trip - Great value trip with guided walk, some thrilling off road jeep driving, lunch stop and a final stop at the sky walk. Robert our guide and driver was very informative, the walk itself is not too strenuous for anyone with any concerns on that front. It’s more of a gentle stroll with a few steps. Lunch at the Jungle Rain cafe was fun - feel like the place has seen better days, but the portions were huge.For great value go for the sandwiches. Skywalk is rather underwhelming, but I guess it has to be done.

A great way to see some of the island - We had an enjoyable day out with Stephen, our guide. The guide was very attentive and provided lots of information as we went, making it easy for us to simply enjoy the experience with all the logistics taken care of. The hike was mainly flat (just a few steps to negotiate) with great views.
