Shore Excursions Designed Around Your Ship's Schedule

Funchal is one of the most visited cruise ports in the Atlantic, welcoming ships from lines including MSC, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Costa, and TUI throughout the year. The port sits just minutes from the old town, and with shore time typically ranging from six to ten hours, choosing the right excursion matters. Our private tuk tuk tours are purpose-built for cruise passengers: we track your ship's actual arrival, meet you inside the terminal with a name board, and plan every minute of the tour around your departure window.

Unlike large coach excursions that move dozens of passengers from site to site on a rigid schedule, a TukTuking shore excursion gives you a guide to yourself, a vehicle that fits down the narrow lanes coaches cannot reach, and the flexibility to slow down at the spots you love. Most cruise guests choose the Funchal City Tour (1 hour), the Cristo Rei and Garajau Tour (1.5 hours), or the Cabo Girão Skywalk Tour (3 hours) depending on how long their ship is in port. Message us on WhatsApp before your cruise and we will match a tour to your exact timetable.
