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.
You can pick between Pico do Areeiro or Bica da Cana to guarantee the best possible sunrise visibility.
Witness a spectacular natural phenomenon as the sun rises over a blanket of clouds and rugged landscapes.
Travel safely in the early hours with an experienced chauffeur and warm up with a complimentary hot beverage at the viewpoint.
Capture some of the most dramatic and highly-coveted lighting for landscape photography in Madeira.
It is crucial to dress warmly! Temperatures at 1,818 meters before dawn can be near freezing, especially with the wind. Wear multiple warm layers, a windbreaker jacket, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. Hats and gloves are highly recommended.
Both Pico do Areeiro and Bica da Cana are frequently above the cloud line, providing excellent sunrise views even if it is cloudy in Funchal. While we utilize our dual-location strategy to maximize your chances, weather in the mountains can still be unpredictable.
Enjoy complete peace of mind with 100% free cancellation up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled tour departure.
