Combine Funchal’s historic Old Town with the wild beauty of Madeira’s south coast on a private tuk-tuk tour, I’ll be your guide for the journey. We’ll wander through cobbled lanes and characterful corners before climbing towards scenic roads and panoramic viewpoints.
Stop at Miradouro do Pináculo for views over the city, the bay and the Atlantic, then continue to Garajau and the Cristo Rei statue, where the cliffs and coastline create one of the most striking landscapes near Funchal.
Along the way, I’ll share local stories, cultural details and personal tips, with time for photos and to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.
Because this is a private tour, I’ll happily adapt the route to your interests, pace, the weather and traffic, ideal if you want to combine history, city views and coastal scenery in one relaxed trip.
I was born and raised in Funchal, and Cristo Rei view over the Atlantic still gets me every time. I hope you leave with a real feel for both sides of this island.

2Miradouro do Cristo Rei do Garajau
The coastal road to Garajau offers sweeping views over the Atlantic Ocean and Madeira’s rugged south coast, a quieter and wilder side of the island than the streets of Funchal. At the end of the road stands Cristo Rei, an Art Deco statue of Christ dating from 1927, making it the oldest of its kind in the Portuguese-speaking world, predating the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro by several years.
