Fabulous hike to see the best views of Madeira
Philippe was an enthusiastic and friendly guide. He made everybody feel welcome and loved sharing his knowledge of beautiful Madeira. A great group of people to share the day with whilst travelling solo. Beautiful weather made the hike even more gorgeous.. this is a ‘must do’ if you have good knees and energy and want to see the best views of Madeira!

Incredible hike.
Despite the weather at the top, this hike was incredible. The views were breathtaking. Our guide, Paulo Jesus, was fantastic and made us feel completely safe throughout. It was comforting having all the arrangements (pick up, taxis, passes) taken care of for us. All in all, a wonderful experience.

The best experience with the best company!
We would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Luís gave really good instructions and help the day in advance of the hike. Cláudio is a legend (he brought us on the tour). He collected us on time at the start of the day, was super friendly despite the early start, and despite our best efforts to ensure him we would be fine with the cold (being Irish) he was there to help us with some spare jackets when things got cold. He hung around whilst we watched the sunrise and was there for us when we got back to show us where to go next for PR3. After the day out and we got back to the coffee stop, and we all enjoyed coffees and delicious food together over great conversations. Thank you Luís & Cláudio - we will be recommending you to any of our friends or family that come visit the beautiful, Madeira 🇵🇹 from Keith & Niamh 🇮🇪

Must do sunrise experience in Madeira
Well organised trip. Picked up from hotel. Arrived in good time to get in to position to watch the sunrise. Excellent experience. Then walked to viewing point on PR1 and back before good walk down PR3 route for about 7km. Took 2.5 hours. Need moderate fitness for older people. 2 people went the wrong way but route well marked. If you download Mapy as advised and reference it to follow route then its impossible to go wrong. Superb cafe at end.

The path is jungle like with beautiful scenery. The falls weren’t running fast because it was in September but still a nice spot. Our guide, Elvio, was organized and knowledgeable. We loved the 1/2 mile tunnel too!!

That it’s well worth doing. Great experience with Carlos and his co worker ( don’t know his name) but he was so patient with everyone. And tea when we were at the toughest bit. Yippee it tasted so good. Would do it all over again.

Lots of stairs! Very busy hike. I would almost say an earlier pick up time would be even better if you really want to experience the waterfall without crowds. Our driver Diogo was very nice and knowledgeable and punctual.

Stairway to Heaven Pico do Areeiro in Madeira Island
Quest59377881575, Sep 2026
Amazing view and friendly guide
Our tour started with a relaxed drive to the starting point of the hike. After we arrived, our guide Marta explains very well what to consider. She was also very friendly and helpful and made sure that everyone reached the destination. The hike has been quite challenging at some points, but it is all the more rewarding if you have completed the first section and can enjoy the view. Then we continue to the actual attraction: the "Stairway to Heaven." The view into the adjacent valleys is breathtaking and really highly recommended. The whole trip takes around 5 hours with a hiking time of about 3 hours, depending on how fast you are going. The price of 48 € plus 4.50 € per person is reasonable and justified for the experience you are offered. I can recommend this hike to anyone who is well on their feet and wants to see the insane landscape of Madeira with their own eyes. Finally, I would like to thank you once again for this unique experience and our fantastic guide.
