Tour Overview

Embrace the magic of dawn on this highly sought-after morning expedition. Led by our certified local chauffeur guide, you will be whisked away from the sleeping city of Funchal and driven safely up winding mountain roads in our luxury Mercedes transport.

To ensure you get the absolute best experience, your expert guide will evaluate the morning’s weather and cloud conditions to select the optimal sunrise location: either the towering, rugged summit of Pico do Areeiro (1,818m) or the peaceful, sweeping highlands of Bica da Cana (1,560m).

Standing above the cloud inversion at either location, you will watch the sky transform into vibrant shades of orange, pink, and gold. As the sun rises over the island, enjoy a complimentary hot coffee or tea. After the sunrise, you will have time to take stunning photographs and take in the crisp alpine air before descending back to the coast in time for a full day ahead.
