Watch the day begin above the clouds in one of the island’s most spectacular mountain settings. This option is ideal for guests who prefer a shorter sunrise experience and want to return early after the activity, including those who may already have breakfast included at their accommodation.

Premium Version

Enjoy a fuller sunrise experience after early hotel pickup, travelling to Pico do Arieiro to watch the sunrise from 1,818 metres above sea level. After sunrise, enjoy an included breakfast with coffee, tea, toasted ham and cheese sandwiches, and homemade cake, followed by a relaxing Paradise Valley levada walk when safe conditions allow. This Premium option is designed for guests who want a more complete morning experience with extra time after sunrise. Please share dietary restrictions when booking.
