Yet another very special tour!
Our number one spot, just as the sunrise tour, is Pico do Areiro, the third highest peak on the island.
This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the high peak without the big crowds of the morning and early afternoon tour groups.
The peak comes alive at dawn.
The colours are something of a dream and even the air is different.
Watching the sun set above the clouds is a truly unique experience!
There are plan b´s for bad weather, thankfully we have been graced with many epic sunset spots in Madeira.
On our way back down into the city we will also be stopping at a viewpoint to see Funchal by night, with all the lights and the moon shining on the ocean.
A very romantic and quiet tour, a must do for all photographers!

This tour was excellent. The views were amazing and this was truly a magical time to visit Pico Do Areiro. Jeff was such a great guide. Very knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend the company and the tour.

We were lucky enough to take 2 trips with Hit the Road, a full day tour to really get a feel if the island and terrain, and a half day sunset tour.
If you are visiting Madeira, or thinking of doing so, a 4x4 tour is essential. Car rentals to get to the heart of the Island would be scary at best, or if you do, make sure you’ve got a good working clutch! Travelling with local people, with the insight they give and the places they know how and where to access was a huge part of our experience. Staying away from crowds, and the flexibility needed alongside the changeable weather was so helpful, and their ethos is ????.
The Sunset tour in our last evening was nothing short of magical- bathed in golden light, above the clouds.
Do it!
Thanks Hit the Road team ????
