See Madeira Before Everyone Else
The Sunrise Tour is all about timing. By starting early, we reach viewpoints and mountain roads before most visitors are awake, when the light is softer, the air is clearer, and the island feels quiet and untouched.
Rather than following a fixed route, your guide chooses the best sunrise location on the day — often high above the clouds — then adapts the rest of the tour based on conditions. Some mornings deliver glowing horizons, others rolling cloud seas, and sometimes both.
This tour is ideal if you want a memorable experience without committing to a full day, or if you love photography, light, and calm moments in nature.
Highlights
- Sunrise from one of Madeira’s best viewpoints
- Early-morning mountain roads with minimal traffic
- Dramatic cloud formations and changing light
- Flexible routing based on real-time conditions
- Small-group experience led by a local guide
What to Expect
Your day begins with an early pick-up in Funchal, followed by a drive into the mountains or along the coast, depending on where conditions are best for sunrise.
After watching the sunrise, the tour continues with scenic stops, viewpoints, and short walks if conditions allow. The experience is relaxed and unhurried, with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery before returning to Funchal mid-morning.
This tour is designed to complement the East or West tours — not replace them — offering a focused, atmospheric experience rather than a full island overview.
Weather Plan
Sunrise conditions vary daily, which is why this tour remains flexible.
Here’s how we adapt:
- If mountain peaks are cloudy, we focus on coastal or mid-altitude viewpoints.
- If cloud layers sit low, we aim for viewpoints above them.
- If conditions change quickly, we adjust the route in real time.
Sunrise views can never be guaranteed, but our guides choose the best possible option every morning.
