A MUST trip to be done - This was and has been the highlight of my trip and I am so glad I did it on the first day when in Madeira. The sight was to die for and it gave me so much peace. Great driver and guide.

Sunrise - This is a great experience, but I would say you will need jumpers, hats and gloves, if you go in March. They do supply blankets to put round you but you will need lots of layers. Great for Gluten Free breakfast as well. Loved the walk through the Lavda but could have walked further.

Good sunrise trip - Lovely to see the beautiful sunrise. The walk along the levadas was also very enjoyable but the guide didn’t come with us which we were a bit surprised at. Breakfast was a bit odd - odd combination of things and a strange place with no facilities. We would have been happy with just a cup of coffee

Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience. The sunrise was beautiful and truly a must see. I would say this tour only allows you to watch the sunrise and doesn’t give you much time to do some of the pr1 route. I didn’t realise stairways to heaven was on the other side and didn’t have time to explore thats the only Disappointment. But suppose wasn’t included in the trip.

Ok - It's an ok experience. The sunrise is nice and all but it is super cold and the driver just drops you in the nearest road and you have to find your way .

Price too high - First of all, we would like to thank the driver who was able to arrange us and be punctual. However, given the price of the activity, we expected a better experience. Indeed, although we understand that we cannot predict the weather, we would have liked a more complete experience in terms of duration, explanations etc. Indeed, the driver dropped us off at the parking lot and we returned after about forty minutes because no visibility and too low temperature. The activity lasted about 2 hours counting the journey, which disappointed us a little! Finally, thank you to the driver for dropping us off in Funchal, which was not the intended base place, but who accepted our request to be dropped off in the capital! We think the price is way too high considering the quality of the experience!
