Highly recommended! - I had a great experience with Levadas In and Out on the self-guided tour to Ponta de São Lourenço. Everything was organized smoothly from start to finish, making the whole trip stress-free and enjoyable. A special thanks to our driver, Fábio! He provided clear and detailed explanations on how to navigate the route, shared useful tips, and made sure I felt confident before starting the hike. On top of that, he was a great conversationalist and we had a very pleasant chat.

Really easy way to get out and see Madeira! - We had a brilliant time doing self guided hike on PR8 yesterday with Levadas In and Out. Our driver Fabio was brilliant, punctual and friendly and even helped us out with arranging trail entry tickets when we hadn't been able to book online ourselves. The trip was really well coordinated with plenty of time to do the hike and enjoy the views ☀️
