“The driver Miguel was very friendly, everything went as planned. Also the weather was playing with, the hike was just excellent. The place PR8 is quite crowded but at least in February you can still hike relatively free. The route is not that easy as described, there are quite a lot ups and downs.”

6.Caldeirão Verde: Queimadas PR9 Transfer and Self-Guided Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 668 reviews · from $38

Self-guided Caldeirão Verde hike in Madeira’s Laurissilva Forest, with hotel pickup, a 15 km loop, waterfalls, and tunnels.

“Great hike, fantastic views, but the price is very high for the offered service, which is - basically - only transportation. It's negligibly less than what we paid for a full day of being driven around, with a very good guide, on another tour. Also, this is NOT an easy hike, make sure you have good walking shoes and that you are not afraid of heights resp. have no issues with narrow passages and closed spaces (narrow tunnels). Next time I'd also take a lamp, torch on the mobile phone is not quite enough in the tunnels, in my opinion. We would definitely do it again, despite the steep price.Read…”

He explained everything we needed to know and helped me with the entrance fee payment portal. Our hike was excellent, through waterfalls tunnels and beautiful forests . Roberto was very prompt at picking us up at our hotel at 8:20am and once we finished the hike he was already there waiting for us to drive us back to the hotel . I highly recommend this company Levada in and out and will be using them again 100%”
