"The best way to do the Monte Toboggan! Our driver took us right to the top, explained the history, and met us at the bottom. Saved us so much walking!"

"Perfect shore excursion. We saw Funchal, had amazing Poncha, and got back to the ship with plenty of time. Highly recommend the private Tuk Tuk."

"So much fun! The hills in Funchal are steep, so the Tuk Tuk was a lifesaver. The views from Cabo Girao were incredible. Very friendly guide."

Great question! The Toboggan ride ends in Livramento (halfway down the hill), NOT in Funchal center. Walking back is steep and difficult. If you book our Combo Tour, we meet you at the bottom of the Toboggan run and drive you comfortably back to the city or your ship.
Yes! We specialize in Shore Excursions in Funchal. We pick you up directly at the cruise port gate. Our tours are private, so they are faster and more flexible than the big bus tours, ensuring you get back to the ship on time.
Absolutely. Our modern Piaggio Ape Calessino vehicles are designed for Funchal's hills. They can easily reach Monte, the Botanical Gardens, and viewpoints like Pico dos Barcelos.
