Lovely walk with some beautiful scenery

Hannah_W, May 2023

Really well organised walk with some beautiful views. Good length and not too difficult apart from the brief period of steep steps, worth it for the walk through the tunnel and view over the valley at the end alone. The pace is relatively slow with lots of rest stops and photo opportunities so if you're a serious walker it's probably not for you but for a nice walk with the benefit of a great knowledgable guide I'd thoroughly recommend it.

Busy but enjoyable!

Lee_N, Aug 2021

Excursions of this kind are really valuable ways of getting to memorable sights if you haven't got your own transport, and this was no exception. This trip was well-organised, with a knowledgeable, friendly guide. TBH, the route itslef doesn't really need a guide, as the route is well-signposted and quite obvious really - and with around 20 in the group it can be frustraing if the pace is overly slow. In addition, this is a very popular area, and the routes to the waterfalls are narrow in lots of places - causing 'pinch points' when passing other groups - perhaps this is an excursion to consider out of the main tourist season? That said, I did three excursions duriong my stay in Madeira, and they were all well organised and enjoyable.
