just been on the 25 waterfalls rabacal and lavada walks with Madeira free spirit walks
our guide Alvaro was excellent he gave us lots of information about the lavadas the water falls and the countryside we were walking through
He pointed out the different plants and wildlife mainly small birds which would land onto the palm of his hand
we booked this through our hotel and everything from start to finish was excellent and well planned
would highly recommend this company and especially our guide Alvora

The hike was very pleasant and wasn’t too challenging, apart from some steps on the way. Wonderful and breathtaking scenery and beautiful plants. It was good to see the levadas, and how they were constructed. Our guide, Alvaro, was very informative about the fauna and flora and also history of the island. He was amusing and funny and made everyone feel welcome. Overall, I would recommend this trip.

We were a small group led by Susanna, our guide. It was a great day that will remain unforgettable. Susanna explained the plants to us, whistled like a bird to attract other birds. Susanna is a very friendly person, she guided us wonderfully through this tour. We felt safe with the driver (unfortunately we don't remember the name) the whole time. Thank you the two! We can only recommend this tour.
