Overview

Your adventure begins with a hotel pick-up about 1.5 hours before sunrise

(exact time sent by 8:30 PM the day before via email or WhatsApp).

Dress warmly and wear good shoes, as mountain weather can differ greatly from Funchal.

At Pico do Arieiro, enjoy an unforgettable sunrise (weather permitting). Sometimes clouds may block the view — refunds are not possible in such cases. You can optionally hike part of the PR1 “Stairs of Heaven” trail (1.2 km, €3 fee) for breathtaking views, returning within about 45 minutes after sunrise.

The tour continues to the Glass Platform at Guindaste Viewpoint, where you can admire the ocean through a transparent floor.

The final adventure is the 7 km Larano Trail, a moderate 2.5-hour coastal hike between Machico and Porto da Cruz, revealing Madeira’s dramatic cliffs and wild beauty.

After the hike, relax as you’re dropped off at your hotel, ending a day filled with incredible landscapes and unforgettable moments.
