What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the attentive guiding and varied, easy walks; cloud cover can prevent a clear sunrise.

Praised

  • Friendly, knowledgeable guiding with explanations of Madeira's history and nature
  • Clear pickup arrangements and regular weather updates before departure
  • Early arrival helps secure sunrise viewing spots before the crowds
  • Easy walks and an unhurried pace suited to less experienced hikers
  • Forest walks and coastal viewpoints add variety beyond the sunrise

Complaints

  • Clouds sometimes obscure the sunrise entirely
  • Cold and wind at the summit make warm clothing necessary
