Overview

This is a special tour indeed.

Ideal for adventurous families, couples and photographers

There is a certain feeling about being up before everybody else, experiencing the marvels of nature uninterrupted and in all its glory

Our number 1 sunrise spot is Pico do Areiro, the third highest peak of the island.

Very often we are above the clouds and the colours are absolutely extraordinary, truly a once in a lifetime moment!

Of course we cannot always guarantee the perfect weather conditions for the perfect sunrise so we have back up spots such as;

Pico do facho, Ponta Sao Lourenço, Guindaste Viewpoint and one or two secret spots, each with their own unique characteristics.

Our guides are specialists at itinerary planning and when the weather is not ideal, we initiate our "plan B". Note that this could be a completely different itinerary than that is shown here, in order to make the most of the morning!

This is a real adventure and an experience you will not easily forget!
