Madeira - transport to Levada das 25 Fontes

Madeira - transport to Levada das 25 Fontes - Determined smiling businessman with laptop on street

I will be going to Madeira for a few days in May with my friend. We would love to go for the hike Levada das 25 Fontes. Unfortunately I don't see any public transport going to the starting point of the trail.

What options do we have? Taking a taxi from Estrela da Calheta? How much would it cost? Or maybe try to hitch-hike? How feasible is hitch-hiking on Madeira?

Renting a car is not an option for us as we don't have driver's license.
