The tour with meal includes breakfast and a levada walk after sunrise. Enjoy the sunrise while sipping a cup of tea or coffee and having breakfast with some sandwiches, homemade cakes, toasted cheese and ham sandwiches. Before going back to the area of Camacha, take a walk in the Paradise Valley and admire some endemic trees of the Laurissilva forest.

The round-trip transfer offers a stunning sunrise view from Pico do Arieiro and return transport to your hotel, but doesn't include breakfast. This option is ideal if you wish to enjoy breakfast at your hotel after sunrise.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our sunrise tour to Pico Do Arieiro. Or driver Filipe was excellent - he was prompt, friendly and helpful. We were particularly impressed by the fact we were supplied blankets. We are very grateful for this and had a great time.

    Der Sonnenaufgang war wunderschön, wir fanden es super, dass der Fahrer Decken mitgehabt hat. Es war oben sehr kalt und man sollte auf jeden Fall warme Sachen mitnehmen, da es bei uns sehr windig war.

    Perfekte Tour für Menschen, die ein gutes Frühstück in ihrem Hotel haben und einfach nur den Sonnenaufgang genießen wollen ohne ewig früh für einen eigenen Parkplatz vor Ort aufstehen zu müssen

    Die Fahrt war pünktlich und gut und der Sonnenaufgang waren wunderschön. Aber wenn ich ein Frühstück buche erwarte ich nicht in einer kleiner schmutzigen Hütte ohne Heizung zu sitzen. Die Guides haben es liebevoll gemacht, dass hat es etwas rausgerissene, aber alles in allem ist das Frühstück eine Frechheit. Es gab‘ noch nicht einmal eine Toilette. Ebenfalls die „Wanderung“ bei der der Guide uns einfach rausgelassene, den Weg erklärt und dann wieder eingesammelt hat ist überflüssig.
