Pico do Arieiro

Watch the sunrise above the clouds on one of Madeira’s highest peaks – a truly unforgettable experience. Start your day early with a pick-up from your accommodation and travel comfortably into the mountains to reach Pico do Arieiro (1818m), one of the most iconic viewpoints on the island. As the first light of the day appears, witness a magical moment as the sun rises above a sea of clouds, illuminating the dramatic mountain landscape in golden tones. This is one of the most unique experiences in Madeira and perfect for photography lovers and nature enthusiasts. This is a small group experience, allowing you to enjoy the moment at a comfortable pace, without large crowds or rushing. After sunrise, we can make a few optional scenic stops or enjoy a relaxed return to your accommodation. This experience is designed to be simple, comfortable and accessible — no strenuous hiking required, just a short walk from the parking area to the viewpoints.
