Review of Madeira’s Caldeirão Verde PR9 hike, with shared transfers, waterfalls, tunnels, forest tips, timing, and honest value advice.

“Since there is no guide you can finish it on your own pace, there is more than enough time and you can have additional for snack/coffee and photos. Very good communication over WhatsApp - team is very helpful and patient. Driver was on time and he was very knowledgeable - all necessary information for the hike was provided. Overall it was a nice experience and I would do it again in the future.”

“Our guide was very interesting pointing out various features along the way however we felt it was a bit of a route march back to the car park. No time to take photos or to rest and we were left behind. Good job we did not take a fall May I suggest that more time is given for the trip and an opportunity for some information on the walk back to break up the journey There is however little changes in altitude on this walk and some nice views. Less challenging than the 25 Fountains walk which is more scenic”

Hike Madeira’s Caldeirão Verde levada through Queimadas Park, with waterfalls, tunnels, mountain views, hotel pickup, and a local guide.

“An enjoyable walk but it took 2 half hrs to arrive at the walk/starting point and not enough emphasis on equipment (Torch) which is vital when walking though the dark low tunnels. Disappointed when we thought we had returned to the starting point (8 miles) but then had too walk a further mile and a quarter to catch the buse which had orginally dropped as at the starting point earlier in the day. Then to be taken to a village which we didn't know about when all we wished to do is go back to our hotel and shower/rest. This was an unnessary addition too a very long day. Not…”

12.Private Guided Walk Levada Caldeirao Verde

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $108

Review of Madeira’s private Caldeirão Verde walk, with forest, waterfalls, hotel pickup, guide advice, costs, and fitness tips.

“Our guide, Marco, was wonderful. He picked us up on time and gave lots of information about the levadas and flora and fauna. Caution: The walk is far more challenging than other reviews would lead one to believe. I cannot fault Marco or the experience at all but it was almost too much for me and took about 6 1/2 hours total. If you don't have very good balance or much experience with rough terrain choose an easier walk. Marco was very helpful to me when I struggled and kept emphasizing that we could take all the time we needed.”
