Description

Experience one of Madeira’s most unforgettable moments with a sunrise tour to Pico do Arieiro, the island’s third-highest mountain at 1,818 meters.

You’ll be picked up early and arrive before the crowds, giving you time to enjoy the sunrise calmly as the mountains emerge above the clouds. After sunrise, the tour continues to Ribeiro Frio for a relaxed walk along the famous Balcões levada — an easy, scenic trail with panoramic views over the Laurissilva forest and deep valleys.

This small-group experience combines dramatic mountain scenery with a peaceful nature walk, making it ideal for travelers who want a memorable morning without a full-day commitment.
