Offered in: English

Witness one of Madeira’s most magical moments — sunrise above the clouds. This adventure is ideal for couples, families, and photographers who want to experience the island before the world wakes up. Our top sunrise spot is Pico do Arieiro, the island’s third-highest peak, where colors and cloud formations create a once-in-a-lifetime scene.

Because mountain weather can be unpredictable, our expert guides always have a “Plan B,” choosing the best possible viewpoint — from Pico do Facho to Ponta de São Lourenço, Guindaste, or secret local spots. After sunrise, enjoy a short forest walk and a relaxing coffee stop before heading back. A true off-road adventure and an unforgettable way to start your day in Madeira.
