Great experience but show up early to beat all the tiktokers. It’s cold so take a sweater. Half the hike was closed when we went in August 2025 so do your research so you can avoid disappointment. Still a great experience.
Beautiful spot for sunrise! But be aware there are a lot of people here! You are not alone and estimate to use at least 1 hour from Funchal to the top due to traffic in the morning. Only 15 minutes hike from parking to top.
What a view!!!! Superb!!!! Breathtaking! Entrance €4. Toilets €1. Parking €4 per hour. Does it worth it? Come and see.
Although we couldn't admire the sunset to the fullest, as it was cloudy, the scenery was gorgeous. The driver also took us to another panoramic point, from where we could see the city of Funchal at night, the view being just as gorgeous. We highly recommend! <3
A truly magical experience. The driver was friendly and prompt, it made the experience more relaxed and enjoyable without the added worry of transport. Watching the sunset from above the clouds was incredible, the short hike to the ‘stairway to heaven’ will be a special memory for years to come.
This was worth every minute of it - the sunset was just magical. There were a lot of clouds below us, which added even more magic. Our driver Filipe arrived well on time, and the ride was timed perfectly to take the Stairway to Heaven walk (absolutely recommended!) and find a good spot to observe the sunset. The walk back to the car was also timed generously, so at no point did we have to worry about our ride back home. One of many, many highlights and a must on this island.
Can only describe it as phenomenal. All the hype around this Pico is fully warranted. The views, dramatic views of the park and the cliff ridges. Very cool. We checked the webcams frequently and opted for sunset as sunrise was apparently very chaotic.
We had an amazing experience on this sunset tour to the highest point of Madeira – Pico do Arieiro. Our driver was both enthusiastic and highly professional, sharing interesting details along the way and making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. This tour is a great option for those who may not be prepared for intense hiking – the route is designed for light travel and makes the incredible views accessible to all. While many people stop at the main sunset viewpoint, we highly recommend continuing further along the road. It may seem a bit intimidating at first, but trust us – the views are absolutely speechless and completely worth it. We even wished the experience had lasted longer – it was that beautiful. The dramatic landscape, the colors of the sky, and the feeling of being above the clouds will mesmerize you. Strongly recommended for anyone visiting Madeira!
So far one of the best nights of our holiday. A beautiful, memorable sunset. Our driver was friendly and informative. Would recommend to everyone.
Madeira offers several spectacular spots to watch the sunset or sunrise, and Pico do Arieiro is undoubtedly among the best. At an altitude of 1,810 meters, you're surrounded by clouds. This magical atmosphere feels almost otherworldly. The breathtaking views will make you forget your everyday worries, as you're swept away by nature’s raw beauty and challenged by its whims—especially the wind. Before you go, check the weather forecast for the area and come prepared: bring a warm coat, a hat, and hiking shoes if you would like to go outside most basic spot. Also it is really cold after sunset. Also, bring your water/food as later the day, shop may be closed. If you're feeling slightly adventurous, try a short hike to Ninho da Manta, or take on the more demanding Stairway to Heaven trail before sunset. Views are amazing. In is recomended to come at least 45 minutes before sunset to find rigt spot - the more you will come down the road the less tourists be there in your photos. But even photos from parking spot are breathtaking. Alternatively, if you're not the romantic type waiting for sunrise or sunset, but rather someone seeking adventure and challenge, consider hiking all the way to Pico Ruivo, the Madeira's highest peak or other hikes. But read abou it before and be prepared...
