Top-Rated Funchal Shore Excursions

Ships berth on a long pier at the edge of Funchal’s waterfront, a short walk into town. The cable car to Monte and the wicker toboggan ride back down are local traditions, and island tours climb to Pico do Arieiro, the sea cliff at Cabo Girão, the levada irrigation paths or the north-coast village of Santana.

Tours, prices and reviews from Viator, a Tripadvisor company — prices are per person, from, and were checked October 28, 2026. Shore Excursions may earn a commission when you book, at no extra cost to you. Always allow a generous buffer to be back on board before all-aboard time.
