ポンタ・デ・サン・ロウレンソ自然保護区 PR8 での日の出ガイド付きハイキング

We had a substitute hike, Ponta Sao da Lourenco was not available but our guide through the vendor put together a great package for a sunrise hike.

We took this trip with David, who was an exceptional guide. He clearly has a mastery of trails (hiking or trail running). There are stunning views on this hike. There are also opportunities to learn about wildlife and geology. If you see rain in the forecast, be prepared for significant amounts of mud on the trail, but even in that scenario, the hike is very doable for those who enjoy the outdoors. Starting this in the morning was crucial, because the crowds became huge later in the day as we were getting back to the tour vehicle.

Best company in Madeira for hikes and walking tours. We tried few ones and Up Mountain gave us the best experience! Everyone was super nice, and David was an amazing guide for our Sunrise Walk in Ponta de Sao Lourenco. He shared a lot of information and recommendations on the island, and took really nice pictures of us!

Will advertise dates and then declare it ‘not available’ and cancel the booking.. best look elsewhere! Very unprofessional

Aabsolutely must see experience , breathtaking view of the cliffs in morning light . Pleasant caring guide.. Ch arming cafeteria at the end of the walk, like a Mirage in the in the morning sun. Recommend a dip in the ocean., and the boat trip back to the mainland, including a visit to the caves. Lifetime experience.

We had an absolutely fantastic time with David on this guided hike. We only ended up doing it because we tried to book the guided walking route PR1 Vereda do Areeiro through Viator with Up Mountain, and had the booking rejected. We initially couldn’t understand why, but booked a self-guided walk on that route (just transport to/from the walk). David was then kind enough to reach out later via WhatsApp, completely unprompted, to explain that the PR1 route was closed and any booking for it would result in disappointment! He offered us this alternative and we were delighted to accept, and so glad we did, cancelling our other booking, and he was very accommodating re the only date we could do, running the hike for just four of us even though there would normally be 8. The hike was stunningly beautiful, David was great company and very knowledgeable, and we got to see a beautiful sunrise with stunning weather; the landscape was so dramatic I’m sure it would be beautiful in most weathers! We got a great swim at the end too. David even took us for a “proper” Poncha local drink at a local place he knew on the way home, as we were assured that the one we had in our hotel would not have been a true taste of this drink! A wonderful trip we can highly recommend to anyone with Up Mountain, and if you’re lucky, with David!

Amazing hike, stunning views, and David was a brilliant guide with lots of interesting insight. Definitely worth doing at sunrise to beat the crowds!

We had an amazing time with Nick and David. They were do informative and made the whole trip so enjoyable! They took great care of us, and made the hike that much easier.

This was our first visit to Madeira and our anniversary so wanted something special to celebrate. The communication from Nico was excellent to organise the trip. We were collected on time by our guide David and driven to a look out point at Ponta de Sao Lourenço to watch the sunrise. Then there was a short trip to start our hike. We took our time and stopped at view points on the way up with a short snack and sun cream break before the final ‘summit’ . The route definitely challenged me (I’m nearly 50!) and there were points that felt quite narrow although there is a railing in many places. We were so proud and pleased to complete it. If you have vertigo it will challenge you ! On the way back we swam in the sea which was really refreshing. The hike back to the van was just as spectacular. David took us to a viewpoint high above Mâchico and then for a Poncha before returning home. I would definitely recommend for a fabulous hike and overall experience 😊

It was great to go with this company. I did 4 trips. Friendly, good information about the eisland and the small groups is a plus
