Highlights
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.

Itinerary
After stopping for an early morning coffee and pit stop we head up into the mountains via the "interesting" back roads of Funchal in our 4x4 towards the third highest peak of Madeira, Pico do Areiro
Very often we are above the clouds and the colours are absolutely extraordinary, truly a once in a lifetime moment!
After coming down from the sunrise we go on a special "bonus" levada walk which we will get all to ourselves, usually very crowded and popular tourist route.
We end off with a local style breakfast coffee/sandwich/poncha at one of Madeira´s best local snack bars
