“I was very impressed with this company, we were given clear information. I had questions before the trip which were answered almost immediately. The bus arrived on time and departed within 10 minutes of the scheduled time. The walk was quite hard in parts but absolutely beautiful. I believe the trail is closed for now due to forest fires. We staying in the Lido area and the journey took 1h30m both ways. The bus picks you up and drops you off in the same order. All in all, a great company that I'm happy to recommend.Read more”
Sunrise at Pico do Arieiro, optional Stairs of Heaven, Guindaste glass views, then the 7 km Vereda do Larano hike. Small group, pickup included.
“Great small group trip, van was nice and pick up punctual. We had about 1 1/2 hours for sunrise to either sit and watch or hike, then coffee stop, then stop for nice views for a few minutes. The highlight was the last part with the hike at Larano which was stunning! It took a couple of hours or so as we leisurely hiked most of it, some parts more moderate difficulty but not hard. Got some great pictures and safe ride home. I'm glad I chose this tour”

“Hugo was a great tour guide and very informative. His knowledge on the area is so good, he knew the best times to get there, the best places to watch the sun come up.
