This is NOT an easy walk as advertised in the brochure
As a health and safety professional the concerns I have about the safety of this walk makes for my low rating. We are good walkers ( easy 10- 15 km per hike)and went prepared with water and jackets. We took this easy walk to determine if we would purchase a medium or hard walk. Following this walk we have decided to pass on other tours. The walk itself was through beautiful countryside. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. WARNING The entire walking path was approximately 1 meter wide. One side was a drop to the cement ditch and the other side was more often than not a sheer drop off, mostly without railing. As well we had to pass through a completely dark cave with the same ditch on one side and a jutting rock wall on the other. One gentleman on our tour sliced his arm quite badly on the rock wall. So, my best advice is beware what you are signing up for. I am very surprised there is no warnings posted in the brochure. Take water, have a fitness level where you can walk a narrow path, take a light source and DO NOT GO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH VERTIGO or cannot walk thru a dark cave.

A fascinating walk experience
Our pick-up was efficient, certainly speedy, or so it seemed rounding steep hills with many tight bends! We met our guide, Nestor, close to the beginning of the Levada, and he was quickly into the descriptions of trees and plants encountered along the route. Although the walk was around 7 kilometres long, it was totally flat (except the steep downhill of around 100 metres approaching the village at the end). In the village we were able to bu refreshments and there were toilets. With frequent stops to admire wonderful views of forest, ocean and farmland, it certainly wasn’t a strenuous walk and we were surprised how fast the morning passed. As it was a Sunday morning it was a delight to hear church bells echoing around the mountainsides, and even a midday carillon, beautiful! Nestor gave very clear explanations of how the Levadas function, which for our first experience of such a walk was most interesting.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Levada do Norte: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Levada do Norte cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 Levada do Norte take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Levada do Norte worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Levada do Norte?
+
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 Levada do Norte suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Levada do Norte?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Levada do Norte 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.
