Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal
Overview
Enjoy the beautiful Madeira Sunrise from the highest Madeira peak / mountain, Pico Ruivo at 1862 meters, (6, 106 ft) high, and provides some of the most incredible views of the island from coast to coast. We recommend to bring warm clothing for extreme cold conditions, and a rain coat (just in case). We pick you at the hotel around 4h00am and take you to Achada do Teixeira. Then, it starts the adventure, hicking around 1 hour to the highest Madeira Peak with our certified Mountain Guides to the top, count down and wait for the beautiful colours of the sunrise. Our guide will provide some snackes and water, and then back again for a sightseeing tour in our open roof 4x4 vehicle. We'll stop at Santana city to look around and visit the traditional tatched houses and breakfast time. Continue the tour discovering other places hidden using the old / cubblestone roads. This will be one of the best tours in Madeira.

Nuno picked us up from our hotel and took us up into the mountains which was about an hours drive. When we got out of the car we were given torches and started our hike. I was wearing shorts which I wouldn’t recommend as it was cold at 5am at that altitude! The walk up was fantastic as there was a great view of the stars and you could see down to the nearest towns lights as we climbed up. Nuno was great allowing us to stop occasionally to catch our breath and take in some of the views. Once we got to the top we waited for the sunrise which was one of the most breathtaking things I have seen! To be above the clouds for sunrise is a must try for anyone of any age. On the way back we saw what we had actually climbed in the daylight which gave us a great sense of achievement and Nuno stopped to show us various plants and herbs that grew in the mountain. All in all it was a 10/10 trip and would highly recommend it to anyone!W6206UOannem
