Awesome hiking!
We had booked to walk PR1 but unfortunately the route was closed due to the wildfires. We were offered a refund on our booking if we wanted but were very keen to hike whilst on Madeira. Nico offered us an alternative walk which was Larano - edge of paradise hike between Machico and Porto da Cruz and we were not disappointed. The hike was really beautiful and we were well guided by Benni who had knowledge of the island, landmarks, fruit, flowers and the local people of the area. It has been a pleasure to deal with Up Mountain Madeira from start to finish and we would certainly recommend them for any hikes on Madeira. Thank you very much!! Matt and Emma.

Excellent, personal, individual touch
We did two customized, private tours with an amazing experience. Super professional, kind, funny guide! Great car, very flexible. Easy communication. Clear focus on sustainability. Small company, personal approach. Great opportunity to support small business.

Great small and friendly company
We had booked the peak to peak walk, but on the day it wasn't possible to do the walk we planned to do due to the poor weather conditions. The advantage of booking with UpMountain is that the group is small, there is a friendly guide with you in case you may be a bit nervous doing it yourself and you don't have to retrace your steps (which you would have to do if you came by car yourself as you need to get back to the car park at Arreiro). It would've been safe to do the walk, but when we got to Arreiro it was very cold with no visibility at all so as a group we decided to do the Larano hike instead on David's suggestion. The weather on the North side of the island was fine. David was a great guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Pick up and drop off worked well too. Groups are small too and pace is set at the pace of the group. We never felt rushed and were well looked after. I'd have no hesitation to book with this company again and hopefully next time we visit the island we can do the peak to peak walk.

Just wonderful, a hike though paradise with an amazing guide.
This is the second hiking tour my husband and I have done with this company, the first being last August. It feels more like you are heading out with a friend guiding you than just being another customer. These guys are brilliant from the beginning from the first communication, making sure all your needs are met and answering any question you have. The hike was wonderful with our guide David. He is so knowledgeable of the areas and makes the hike really enjoyable. This hike was stunning as had amazing views and such a mix of nature, the coast, levadas, flora and forna. We will without doubt book another hike or tour with this company again when returning to Madeira. Thank you David and Nico for a great time.
Response from the operator: thank you so much for your words and you can bet we work exactly for people like you!! We know we are a small sustainable local company and we will keep on doing so ,working exclusively in small groups, showing you the real Madeira, trough the eyes of a local. Your Review and your your support makes us extremely proud, knowing that most of our customers are people who return or come recommended by past travelers, this is ho we keep on work along with the big companies – Making a difference and being original, in our hikes, jeep safaris, food tours etc

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group?
+
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 Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group?
+
Around 4 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hike Larano, Boca do Risco Porto da Cruz Levada in a small group 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.
