Description
The tour begins about 90 minutes before sunrise, with a scenic drive into Madeira’s mountains toward a prominent high-altitude viewpoint. The aim is to view the sunrise above the clouds amid dramatic landscapes.
Due to rapidly changing weather, alternative locations are planned to enhance the sunrise experience; however, clear visibility cannot be guaranteed in poor conditions.
After sunrise, the tour continues at a leisurely pace, including a short walk and multiple stops at viewpoints to appreciate Madeira’s natural beauty. A breakfast break allows time to relax (food and drinks not included in the tour price).
