Description
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.

Fantastic experience, ...
Fantastic experience, very knowledgeable guide. Be aware that you need to catch your breath at the start due to the altitude but the guide was fantastic and made sure we had plenty of rest stops and also were encouraged to go at our own pace. As there were 2 guides one at the front and one at the back making sure we were all together it was not a problem. Once you get to the top the climb is well worth it for the beautiful views. It was cloudy so not the perfect sunrise but still wonderful.

Carlos provided great communication about the pick-up location and time. Informative hike up; the pace met the needs of the group. A beautiful spot to see the sunrise; not many people. Carlos shared some tea and a snack bar at the summit.
