très jolie, accessible à tous
Huge lack of information reguarding the map and the location of the major sites. The moment you are droped off you are on your own, not knowing which should be the beat path and order to view everything, no detailed information what so ever. Also the pick up location is vaguely indicated so you can easily get it mixed up. The only care of the company is “don t be late for the bus” the hike itself doesn’t matter.
Great day out walking the Rabacal Levada hike. The walk was stunning - amazing scenery and so interesting to follow the levadas and walk through the tunnel at the end. While the walk was busy, it did not detract from the day in any way. It was an easy 12km walk - a few steep ups and downs but well worth it! The bus trip to and from the hike made the day very easy and provided bonus stunning views of the island. Highly recommended.
Transfer do ok, ale odbiór powrotny jest daleko od miejsca z przywozu. No i trzeba długo czekać na godzinę o której jest odbiór.
Der Fahrer hat während der Fahrt leider keinerlei Infos zu Madeira gegeben (hatten wir von Anderen besser bekommen), am Ausgangspunkt waren die Information zur Wanderung spärlich und sprachlich (englisch) sehr schlecht zu verstehen und wirkte unmotiviert. Die Tour an sich war beeindruckend und abwechslungsreich
Today we had an amazing walk along the Levada! The hike was incredibly picturesque and at the same time not too difficult. The walking part took about 5 hours, during which time we managed to admire two beautiful waterfalls and enjoy nature. I would especially like to note the organization of the trip — everything went perfectly. The driver was very professional and attentive, and the trip there and back was smooth and comfortable, without the slightest problem. The weather was great — sunny but not hot, just perfect conditions for a walk. Today we had an amazing walk along the Levadas! We chose the Levada 636261 route — it turned out to be incredibly picturesque and at the same time not too difficult. The walking part took about 5 hours, during which time we managed to admire two beautiful waterfalls and enjoy nature.
The time could be reduced as it was too much. We were waiting for an hour and a half at the end for the bus along with many others.
The transfer went well and once we were there we really had enough time to hike the PR8. The driver was very nice and even flexible in terms of time. He made a stopover on the way back and we were able to experience a wonderful view of Madeira's coastline!
What it says on the box. Lovely bus driver who picked us up and dropped us off. All timings were clear and stuck too. The walk itself is self guided and can be slightly confusing but otherwise a great day out. Having the walks on all trails instead of strava would be ideal
