About this tour
Watch Madeira wake up from above the clouds
Start your day in the most unforgettable way — above the clouds at one of Madeira’s most iconic viewpoints.
Our Pico do Areeiro Sunrise Tour takes you high into Madeira’s dramatic mountains before dawn, where the first light of day paints the sky in shades of orange, pink, and gold. As the sun rises over the peaks, you’ll witness a breathtaking sea of clouds rolling beneath you — a moment that feels truly surreal.
Travel in comfort aboard our classic Land Rover Discovery as we leave the crowds behind and take scenic mountain roads toward Pico do Areeiro, Madeira’s third-highest peak at 1,818m.
