What to expect

The Rabaçal valley 25 fountains levada walk will lead you to ethereal landscapes and waterfalls, a small lake and natural springs. You'll journey from Paul da Serra into the valley along the levada to Risco waterfall and the 25 springs.

We'll start from the top of the Paul da Serra plateau and descend down into the lush green valley below. Your guide will be with you every step of the way pointing out the flora and fauna that Madeira is well-known for. Once we arrive at the Rabaçal valley, you'll make your way to the Risco waterfall through the valley and along the levada.

Afterwards, you'll keep following the levada through beautiful countryside all the way to a small lake where you'll soon see the 25 natural springs trickling down the hills. There's a 20-minute walk through a tunnel to the sunnier south side of the island. And after, there's a stop at the Calheta sugar cane factory where you can try some if you fancy.

Madeira sunset dinner cruise with eclipse experience

A sunset at sea is a highlight in itself. Add an eclipse to the mix and the result is an evening you'll be talking about long after you're home. This exclusive boat cruise gives you front-row seats to a celestial event that doesn't come around often, with the open sea and Madeira's beautiful coastline as your backdrop. As the boat cruises offshore, there's time to cool off with a swim before dinner is served on board. Relax into the pace of the evening, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a fresh perspective on Madeira that many visitors never experience. We've thought of the details too, with eclipse viewing glasses included so you can enjoy the event safely. Whether you're on deck as the eclipse unfolds, this is an opportunity to witness a natural phenomenon that only comes around once in a while.
