Great trip to 25 fountains
We have enjoyed a great tour with a very competent guide and a nice group of people. We can highly recommend!

Tour operator - No show
Very disappointed as tour operator did not show up to pick us up, for our walking tour, and was not contactable by the phone number given on the booking voucher. After waiting over an hour at the pickup location, I contact Viator via the app who were very helpful and organised a refund as they were all so unable to get in contact with EXPLORE NATURE. Thanks to this company our last day in Maderia was spoiled. Would be extremely wary booking with this company. Still waiting for them to reach out to me to give a good reason why our trip was not fulfilled. We were at the specified pickup location 15 minutes before the required time. One very unhappy traveller.

Excellent walking tour
Amazing walking tour! The guide was very knowledgeable and considerate about making sure everyone was happy with the pace. Scenery was incredible, not just the waterfalls but the whole way there
via Tripadvisor
Nice walk with some interesting points. Recommend waterproof boots and a torch for thr tunnel section.
Well organised from the hotel pick up to the drop off afterwards. Paulo our guide worked hard to make sure everybody in the group was comfortable with the pace and kept informed about what was happening. The poxt walk coffee/drinks stop was definitely a case of going the extra mile! Definitely Recommended!!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups cost?
+
Prices start at $53 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 Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups 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 Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 80 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 Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups?
+
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 Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups 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 Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups?
+
Around 28 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 Rabaçal 25 Fontes Levada Walk in Small Groups 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.
