Sunrise with my sons - Great trip to see the sunrise with 2 of my sons, aged 20 & 13. After a 430am pick up we arrived at the peak early to enjoy the pre dawn colours. We had a clear day and it was spectacular! Worth taking something warm to wear and something to sit on. Then jumped back in the van, drove around 10 mins and enjoyed breakfast in a nice barn - great coffee, huices, toasties, croissants, fruit and homemade oragne cake. Impressed that they were able to give a guest plant based milk as an alternative. Levada walk was peaceful, very flat with beautiful flowers and great views through the trees. It was a dood chance to do a short Levada walk without committing to a half or full day. Suited my 13 year old son. Great trip I would recommend.

Magical sunrise experience - Fantastic experience, well worth the early start. The sunrise was magical to watch. Be aware that there is a little walk in the dark to get the to the view point and it is uneven ground at points.

Beautiful! - This was one of the best things I did during my trip to Madiera. I would highly recommend! There's a lot of tours that go at the same time but it didn't feel overcrowded

Wonderful morning, beautiful sunrise - Wonderful morning. Jorge was excellent, and the breakfast was amazing. I could not believe that Jorge went out of his way to have a battery for a toaster, he made toasted sandwiches in the middle of nature. Thank you so much.

Wonderful Tour and Great Guide - It was a once in a lifetime kind of experience. Got there early to find a great spot to see sunrise and it was surreal. Our guide Francisco was exceptional and made this tour a great success. Also did a little nature trail walk which was so refreshing and enjoyable. The breakfast offered on this tour was delicious, especially the orange cake.
