Enjoy a shared sunset experience at Pico do Arieiro, one of Madeira’s most iconic mountain viewpoints. From 1,818 metres above sea level, you can watch the sky change colour above Madeira’s dramatic mountain landscape in one of the island’s most memorable natural settings.

This experience is available in Basic and Standard versions. Please check the selected option carefully before booking, as inclusions and pickup arrangements vary depending on the version chosen.

In all versions, the main experience is the sunset at Pico do Arieiro. Guests may also choose to independently explore nearby viewpoints such as Ninho da Manta and the Stairway to Heaven viewpoint, also known as Miradouro da Pedra Rija. This part of the experience is entirely optional and self-guided.

Guests planning to visit the Stairway to Heaven viewpoint should head out promptly on arrival and manage their time carefully. The walk takes approximately 30 to 35 minutes each way from the Pico do Arieiro parking area. As the return transfer departs around 30 minutes after sunset, guests choosing this optional self-guided walk must allow enough time to return before departure.

Guests who prefer not to do the optional walk can simply enjoy the sunset and mountain views from the main area at Pico do Arieiro.

Weather in the mountains can change quickly, and clear views cannot be guaranteed. If conditions at Pico do Arieiro are not suitable, alternative viewpoints may be considered where appropriate in order to make the most of the experience.

This tour is designed to offer a convenient and accessible sunset experience, so guests should make sure they select the version that best suits their needs.
