Beautiful hike through nature
This December my wife and I traveled to Madeira for our honeymoon. We knew that we wanted to get out in nature, but weren’t sure what hike to start with. We had a pretty basic checklist. It had to include waterfalls, beautiful views, and be a distance that wouldn’t leave us sore for the rest of our trip. This hike checked all of those boxes and more. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared interesting history about the levadas throughout the hike. It was immediately obvious how much he cared about land and wildlife conservation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the hike to anyone who asks.

10/10 views!!
The views from this hike were absolutely breathtaking! Bruno our guide was brilliant and explained thoroughly where we were going. We had such a fantastic day out, my camera roll was full by the end of it! We completed this in October 2025 and the weather was perfect, not too hot but no rain. Wouldn't recommend if you don't have a head for heights or caves (although they're not too bad) And take torches and appropriate footwear.

Spectacular walk
Relatively easy hike in idyllic surroundings. There is an opportunity to pick up a picnic at supermarket en route to hike.

Not great
1-The company communication is terrible, you ask them a question several times and they don’t reply, because of that I waited 1hr for the transfer. 2-Driver was good, friendly and called me when he got at the pick up point. 3-The van was great, new and comfortable with AC. 4-Guide was average, not much knowledge shared, I don’t like when talking too much, but too little is no great as well. 5-The walk was stunning, definitely worth doing but not with this company.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to review your experience and perspective of our guided levada walk in Madeira. 1. All reservations received a confirmation e-mail via the same channell booking is made. Guests are informed to contact us if they don´t receive pickup the day before. Unfortunately Viator does not issue "read receipts" like other platforms - we will strive to see how to improve this. 2. If driver had to call you, you were not at the pickup point at requested time ... an oustanding service provided by the pickup team 3. great you enjoyed the new vehicles and AC 4. always dificult for a guide to manage a walking group´s "likes" - between too much and too little talking 5. last but not least, great you thought the guided walk was stunning We also offer private guided walking tours in Madeira, which might be better suited to your needs.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.
Is Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk in Madeira start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Funchal?
+
On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Funchal?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Funchal?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
