Bring hiking shoes and warm layers; the trail maintenance fee is paid to the ranger at the end, and food is not included. 4.79 from 153 reviews at €55 per person. ## Overview Have you ever dreamed about celebrating a start of the new day on the very top of the paradise Madeira island? Just allow yourself to dream and we will make this fantastic experience real! We’ll start our walk still in the dark and we’ll be walking up for 2.5 kilometers, admiring the magnificent night sky, with billions of stars just above our heads. After ~1.5 hour we’ll reach Ruivo Peak, the highest point of the island, and there, being at the highest point for hundreds of kilometers away, we will meet the new day, inspired and motivated to reach any further goals you have. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 92 pickup points - Starts 04:00: one departure a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available ## Key facts - Price: from €55 per person - Duration: 4h 30m - Rating: 4.79/5 from 153 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 94% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Madeira Wonders ## What's included - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Local guide - Driver/guide - Insurance - Torches - Transport by private vehicle ## Not included - Food and Drinks - Hiking clothes, hiking boots or sport shoes - Wind/rain proof jacket - hats, scarfs and gloves - 4,5 eur p.p. for trail maintenance to deliver to the Ranger at the end of the trail, by card or cash ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 04:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-02 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
