Pico Ruivo hiking

Der Ausflug hat leider nicht stattgefunden gefunden..Alternativ tour zu den levadas war gut obwohl wir so eine Tour schon gemacht hatten

Although it was raining and windy with bad visibility, it was still a great hike. The guide was friendly and looked after us well. The hike is challenging in places, but worth doing. There is a cafe near the top that has facilities and you can grab food and drink. It is cold at the top so layers are recommended and waterproofs if the weather turns.

The walk was challenging in places but not overly so. Tim the guide was expert in his knowledge of the flora and fauna of the mountain and the history of the region. And on what was a miserable day weather wise kept the group engaged and entertained. 10/10

Really enjoyed this hike. It can be challenging however it is around 700meters you are going up. You do need some change to pay for the route which I thought would have been paid for by TUI however it wasn’t. Incredible staff- really funny and stayed at a steady pace. Lots of stops along the way too! Need some level of fitness to do this hike.

Your guide picked us up on time and was very friendly. The drive to and from the venue was safe and considerate. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and translated to English and German easily and was chatty and friendly throughout. It was disappointing to find that having already paid the trip fees to the TUI rep that we had to pay additional fees to enter the mountain path. I was not informed of this during the booking. Fortunately, you could pay by card or cash. Great walk and picturesque

The guide was funny, friendly and experienced; we felt safe in the bus and on the mountain. This is quite a challenging hike if you are not used to altitude. It would be arduous if the sun is out (it was quite cloudy so not too hot for us). 4.7miles and 2000ft of climbing.
