Madeira: Volcanic Cave & Coastal Escape – a Tuk Tuk Tour

The cave is on the coast just west of Funchal, on the way to Câmara de Lobos — a short tuk tuk ride from the city centre and the cruise port. We pick you up and bring you back, so you do not need to find it yourself.

Choose the 1hr Volcanic Cave Tuk Tuk Tour (the coastal ride and the cave), the 1.5hr Cave + Full City Tour (the cave plus the best places in Funchal, with photo stops) or the 2hr Cave + Tasting + Viewpoints + City (everything, plus the most stunning viewpoints and a tasting).

€35 per person for 1 hour, €45 per person for 1.5hr and €57 per person for 2hr. Up to 3 guests share a tuk tuk and the 3rd guest in each tuk tuk pays only €20. Groups of 4 to 6 travel in 2 tuk tuks (maximum 6 guests), so the 6th guest also pays only €20. A private tuk tuk for one person costs the same as for two.

Yes. Pickup and drop-off are free anywhere in Funchal — your hotel, Airbnb, the Old Town or the cruise ship terminal.

No. It is a short, easy walk on a paved path. The floor can be wet, so wear shoes with some grip. Water sometimes drips through the rock — guests call it the cave's blessing.

Yes. Madeira is a volcanic island, and its caves were shaped by lava and the sea. The best known are the São Vicente caves on the north coast, about 45 minutes from Funchal. Our volcanic cave tour goes to a hidden lava-rock cave on the south coast, only a short tuk tuk ride from Funchal and the cruise port, so it fits easily into a morning, an afternoon or a cruise stop.

If you are staying in Funchal or arriving by cruise ship, the volcanic cave on the coast towards Câmara de Lobos is the closest cave experience: no long drive, free pickup, and you can add a full Funchal city tour on the 1.5hr option, or the city, viewpoints and a tasting on the 2hr option.

We did. TukTukRides was the first company to run tuk tuk tours to the volcanic cave, and the same tour is listed on GetYourGuide as "Madeira: Volcanic Cave & Coastal Escape – a Tuk Tuk Tour".

Tours start from €60 per tuk tuk for 1 hour (€50 when you start from 16:00), for up to 2 guests. A 3rd guest is +€20 — the 1st child under 12 rides free, the 2nd is +€15, the 3rd +€30 and so on. Longer tours start from €70. You see the exact price instantly when you book online.

Our standard vehicles fit up to 3 adults comfortably. For groups of 4 to 6, we arrange two TukTuks travelling together in a convoy — the booking page updates the price automatically.

Absolutely — families love the TukTuk! The 1st child under 12 rides free, the 2nd is +€15, the 3rd +€30 and so on — and a child in the 3rd seat does not pay the +€20 3rd-seat supplement. Every child takes a seat like any passenger (up to 3 per tuk tuk) and must be accompanied by an adult. Let us know their ages when booking and we will take care of the rest.

Our local drivers speak English and Portuguese, and love sharing stories, history and the best photo spots along the way.
