Sunrise Hike with Martin - Fantastic! - After knowing I wanted to visit ilha grande for hiking I knew Pico do Papaggio was the one to aim for. Initially thinking I would do it during the day, but once looking on Trip Advisor saw the option of doing a sunrise hike. Came across Martin's name (and great reviews) and messaged on Whataspp and added on Instgram. Was communicating with Martin prior to arrival for the details - very communicative and perfect English. The hike started at 0230hrs, and we reached the top before sunrise. Fairly long slog up but absolutely worth every step. We didn't get bitten to death either which I was expecting. The sunrise was unforgettable. Orange, red, white - amazing shades. Hear the sound of wildlife and relax at the top for a bit. View is just stunning. Martin is great - tells you about different animals and insects that live in along the trail and you might be lucky enough to see some things (we did). Got back to the town for around 0930hrs. Trek was not rushed and caters for the speed of the individuals. Would recommend Martin for sure if you are wanting to do this, and DEFINITELY do the sunrise hike.

Awesome hike with marvelous view on top! - We easily booked this tour online/via WhatsApp and we’re super exited when we met the guide at 12:30 am at night. We slept few hours before, which was good as the hike was super cool, intense and impressing at the same time. After approx. 4h we reached the top and the view was absolutely marvelous during the sunrise. Our guide Quintino was super helpful, fun and we had a great experience with him. We definitely recommend this tour and the tour operator - for sure one of our highlights in Brasil. Thank you very much :-)
