    About this experience

    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.

    A must for a trip to 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!

    Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.

    Is Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pico Ruivo Sunrise Hike and 4x4 Island Tour from Funchal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Funchal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Funchal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Funchal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
