Overview

Experience one of Madeira’s most unforgettable sunsets with this great-value shared tour to Pico do Arieiro, one of the island’s most breathtaking mountain viewpoints. This option offers a comfortable and affordable way to enjoy spectacular scenery at golden hour and watch the sun set above the clouds in an iconic location. Pickup is included from designated meeting points only. If trail access is open and conditions allow, you may also choose to do the famous Stairway to Heaven walk on a self-guided basis. The optional walk is approximately 2.4 km in total. We normally go to Pico do Arieiro, but if weather or visibility conditions are not favourable, an alternative viewpoint may be used to provide the best possible sunset experience. Please bring warm clothing, as temperatures at the summit can be much lower than in Funchal. Toilet facilities are limited. Return departure is 30 minutes after sunset.

Activity itinerary

Pico do Arieiro

  • 1h 30m
Pico do Arieiro is Madeira’s highest viewpoint reachable by car, at 1,818 metres above sea level. We spend around 1 hour 30 minutes here, giving guests time to enjoy the sunset and, if they wish, independently explore nearby viewpoints such as Ninho da Manta and Stairway to Heaven (Miradouro Pedra Rija). The return transfer departs 30 minutes after sunset, so guests choosing the optional walk should manage their time carefully and return before departure. If summit weather conditions are too poor, an alternative sunset viewpoint in the Palheiro area may be considered.

Miradouro do Ninho da Manta

  • 20m
Optional viewpoint visit during free time at Pico do Arieiro. Ninho da Manta offers impressive mountain views and can be visited independently during the stop at the summit.

Miradouro Pedra Rija

  • 20m
Also known as Stairway to Heaven, this viewpoint can be visited independently as an optional self-guided walk from Pico do Arieiro. Guests planning to do this walk should head out promptly on arrival and allow enough time to return before departure.

Funchal

  • 1h
Return transfer to Funchal or Caniço after the activity. The return transfer departs 30 minutes after sunset.
