5.00Me and my girlfriend had the most incredible experience on our hike through Levada De Alecrim and Lago Do Vento with Eduardo and Duarte! They both provided us with amazing information about the different areas we travelled through whilst also sharing their own personal experiences and knowledge about Madeira. We felt like they had our best interest at heart and we’re always trying to make sure we were having a good time; nothing ever felt rushed or inconvenient for them. Eduardo and Duarte were some of the most polite and interesting people we’d ever met. I could recommend this any more!

5.00Pearl Of The Atlantic is a traditional Enterprise that has gone from parent to child, specializing in organizing personalized tours, depending on the taste of the customer, which makes the Service truly VIP, but without it being reflected in the price. In my second visit to Madeira, making a Levada was a dream, which Pearl Of The Atlantic fulfilled fully and effectively. Because of the intrinsic risk of the tracks, the help of a guide and the coverage of an insurance were essential. I was lucky to have Mr. Duarte, the current owner of the Enterprise, who in addition to being a profound connoisseur, manages to convey to the tourist his passion for Madeira. The insurance was made even before the start of the track, with the name and contact of the insured registered. The choice of the Alecrim Levada was previously discussed, not only for its beauty, but also for its low degree of difficulty, suitable for two sedentary walkers, aged 60 in the house. The route was made without difficulty. The contact with nature, the colors, sounds and smells, are immersive. The Service had an extra: the offer at the end, of the photographs taken by Mr. Duarte during the walk. Thus, as the official family photographer, who only appears on selfies, I can prove that I was on the island of Madeira. Just one other way. As it was done in one of the last days of the holiday, there was no opportunity to make any more trails. Stay for my third trip to Madeira...

5.00Very nice route. It was a great suggestion from the Enterprise guide Mr. Duarte. The walk begins at Paul da Serra which is the largest plateau of the island. The landscapes are stunning.
