Overview

This is a special tour indeed. Ideal for adventurous families, couples and photographers There is a certain feeling about being up before everybody else, experiencing the marvels of nature uninterrupted and in all its glory Our number 1 sunrise spot is Pico do Areiro, the third highest peak of the island. Very often we are above the clouds and the colours are absolutely extraordinary, truly a once in a lifetime moment! Of course we cannot always guarantee the perfect weather conditions for the perfect sunrise so we have back up spots such as; Pico do facho, Ponta Sao Lourenço, Guindaste Viewpoint and one or two secret spots, each with their own unique characteristics. Our guides are specialists at itinerary planning and when the weather is not ideal, we initiate our "plan B". Note that this could be a completely different itinerary than that is shown here, in order to make the most of the morning! This is a real adventure and an experience you will not easily forget!

Family tour w Hugo (for president!)

Published on Dec, 2024

I did this sunrise tour with Hugo as our guide for the second time, and it was great ! The view is amazing but Hugo's sense of humour is even better !

Great tour , even though the weather played spoilsport

Published on Oct, 2024

We loved our sunrise drive with a small group. Unfortunately the weather didn’t permit us to see the sunrise at pico de arreiro, but our guide Fernando improvised & took us for a view near the ocean& to see some other amazing views.

Sunrise tour

Published on Oct, 2024

My friends and I had a great time on this tour, our guide Fernando was a real local from Madeira and he was very knowledgeable and trustworthy! I highly recommend this tour! The views of the sunrise was so magical. Then we went to a local coffee spot and then a walk to another viewpoint which was also amazing! Thank you Fernando!

Superb sunrise tour with Fernando

Published on Aug, 2024

We had Fernando for our guide for the sunrise tour. He was simply outstanding. He loves showing people around his country which he is passionate about. The tour itself was different to most tours. It was personal and genuine. The scenery was amazing.
