“I booked the tour last minute and everything worked perfectly. On-time pick-up, safe transfer, and Fábio provided lots of helpful information and great recommendations. The whole group finished the tour earlier than expected (less than 3.5 h), and after asking for an earlier return, the pick-up was arranged within minutes. I booked more tours with Levadas In & Out right away”

Levada do Rei in Madeira’s UNESCO Laurissilva forest, with free hotel pickup, a small-group guide, and wildlife sightings along a moderate hike.
“This was my first day in Madeira and what an amazing trip!!! Sammy picked me up from the hotel right on time, and we spent a short while collecting a few others. The group size was great - only 12 people. The walk itself is stunning, and we caught a fantastic day. The walk is moderate, but quite technical - you have to watch your feet. Sammy was such a fantastic guide, honestly. Providing facts, keeping everyone safe, looking after the levada himself... This tour is one of the best things I have ever done!”

Kings Levada is a guided, mostly flat levada walk near Funchal with waterfalls, railings, and great views, plus hotel pickup and drop-off.
“We did this walk last week. Booked a tour up in a minibus with a few other people. We were not really prepared for the waterfalls but luckily managed to get through without becoming too wet! We made our way back from the mid point without the rest of the party on suggestion of our very helpful guide Elio aka Elvis !! A great idea as it gave us the chance to enjoy a poncha while soaking up the sun! The walk is approximately 12km in total and is not a difficult walk. The scenery is breathtaking and we would recommend this walk for anyone who enjoys walking.”

Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
