MUST see in Madeira - I have genuinely never seen anything like this with my own eyes before - best views I have ever seen. The whole experience on this tour was very wholesome and a fantastic start to our time on the Island.

Breathtakingly beautiful but freezing - Take warm clothes and gloves if you have them. It’s a long wait for sunrise… Francisco the driver was friendly, informative and provided a good breakfast. The walk in the woods is lovely.

Spectacular - We were picked up at the hotel as agreed and were at Pico de Ariero about 1 hour before sunrise - so there was still enough time to find a spot on the (totally crowded) mountain... We were incredibly lucky with the weather and the sunrise was spectacular. Afterwards we went by van to the breakfast location - quaint and authentic with le ker sandwich and cake. Then to the Levada da Serra do Faial - a nice walk of a 3/4 hour - pure nature. It was nice

Imperdible - Very beautiful!! The Van for right at the entrance of the peak, privileged view of the sunrise! Then the levada is beautiful too! Out of the sympathy of the team. It's worth it!

It’s a must - My husband and I loved it If you love sunrise experiences you will absolutely love this because eventhough you are there for a while , (the driver takes you a little earlier so you’ll be an hour before sunrise ) magic is happening meanwhile . DO bring something to protect you !!! Doesn’t matter where you come from , wear something ! It gets chilly , breezy and drizzly . We did a time lapse video with my husband and it came out awesome ( except for the part a women photobombed our video , even though it was pretty obvious we were recording it ) anyways people will be people . So if you do something similar put your cameras / phone in an area where there are almost no chances of people walking infront of it . We chose to be in the hill during the whole experience (you’ll notice it once you get to the end , you just have to climb a little bit ) it’s a great spot , there no people walking up and down or back and forth (except for that only lady but I don’t think she. Will be back , so you are all good ) 😂 Enjoy ! It’s great ! And also 5stars to our awesome driver “FELIPE” who was very knowledgeable and nice to keep up entertain during the drive .

A magical sunrise, without the hike - I booked this last minute because the conditions when I did a sunrise hike to Pico Ruivo a few days ago were so overcast. The driver wasn't super chatty but was punctual and reliable, and we arrived in good time-allowing everyone in the group to find a spot. After the sunrise, we had 30-40 minutes to soak it in and take photos before heading back. The sunrise is super memorable and the views are stunning!
