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.

Carlos was amazing throughout. Communicative before the tour about pick up, informative throughout and even understanding when I accidentally took his head lamp home! The hike up to the top takes about an hour but is not difficult if you have a reasonable level of fitness. The view of the sun coming up over Madeira as you climb is spectacular and the sunrise at the top makes the effort worthwhile. Thoroughly recommend!

It was wonderful. I am alone on the island and did not want to spend my day alone hiking, nor with large tour groups. We were only 5 people + guide. You should definitely pack warm things, it can be very windy. The guide was great! Super polite and mindful. At the summit we even got some tea and a bar. Highly recommended!!!!
