    An excellent walk

    Alvara was entertaining, knowledgeable about the Fauna and Floravery and very friendly. Good stories about the locality and history. We had a wonderful walk..with lots of regard for our safety. We would definitely recommend this walk with Madeira Free Spirits Walk

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you had a wonderful walk with Álvaro. His knowledge of Madeira’s flora, fauna, local history, and stories, combined with his friendly personality and focus on safety, helps create memorable experiences. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure with Madeira Free Spirit Walks!

    A wonderful walk

    We would highly recommend a tour with these guys. We booked last minute, but the communication was excellent and pick up was right on time. Our guide was excellent - very knowledgable and funny. The walk is beautiful - and reminded us of how wonderful this island is. After the walk we had coffee and fabulous local cakes in a village cafe before a quick visit to the glass viewing platform (which was shrouded in mist on our last visit, so it was great to see the actual view). Highly recommended and will book again.

    Highly recommended

    The rote of the levada tour is scenic with lots to see, and gives you a flavour of levada walks even if you have only half a day available. It takes about 20 minutes for the van to drop you off at the starting point of the levada walk, the ride itself was very nice with panoramic views over Funchal. Our tour guide (a lady) was very kind and answered all my questions about the history and society of Madeira.

    Fabulous walk - Serrad’Agua - Levada do Norte.

    What a fabulous way to spend a morning! This was our first levada walk and we weren’t disappointed. Our guide Alvaro was professional, knowledgable, safety conscious, highly experienced and very, very entertaining! The pace was brisk but comfortable with stops to point out places, plants, people and things of interest. The walk was from A to B so we didn’t have to retrace our steps, and the minibus took us to a great cafe after the walk before heading home. I would highly recommend this company.

    Great Levada experience

    It was an easy walk, following a part of the Levada do Norte, with beautiful views and nice eucalyptus smells. Our lovely guide Yulya was very knowledgeable of the plants and flowers and our driver Mr. Alvaro entertained us with his jokes. We enjoyed the walk very much and at the walk ended with a coffee in Campanario. We highly recommend this walk for people that are afraid of heights or cannot walk a far end.

    Levada Serra D´Agua: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does Levada Serra D´Agua cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 Serra D´Agua 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 Serra D´Agua worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 22 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 Serra D´Agua?

    +

    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 Serra D´Agua 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 Serra D´Agua?

    +

    Around 8 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 Serra D´Agua 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.

    What is included in Levada Serra D´Agua?

    +

    Included: Price includes the extra forest fee for classified walking routes (PR); All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Levada Serra D´Agua include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 105 listed pickup locations in and around Funchal. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Levada Serra D´Agua offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Levada Serra D´Agua?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Levada Serra D´Agua wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Levada Serra D´Agua if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
