Lido Beach

(Pass by)

Lido´s new town is one of the most touristy areas of Funchal city, where there is available a restaurant for everyone´s taste and needs, a pleasant and airy promenade to walk by day or by night, and so much more to discover. This area is also known for having the best beach complexes in Funchal, so if maybe a swim can be an option when visiting this location. For instance, Doca do Cavacas Swimming Complex is one of the most famous beaches in this neighborhood and can be visited whilst doing this tuk-tuk tour.

Doca do Cavacas Natural Pools

The Doca do Cavacas complex is situated just a few meters away from Formosa´s beach, one of the most attended beaches on the entire island. This small and delightful area is great not only for sunbathing and taking a dip in the fresh volcanic pools, but also to take some remarkable shots of this spot.

Camara De Lobos

After a quick pit stop at “Doca do Cavacas” the trip will continue its course towards the famous fishing village, in Câmara de Lobos town. This town gave home to Madeira´s discoverer, João Gonçalves Zarco, from 1420 until 1424. A fishing village that can be found just 5km outside east of Funchal and offers several places that make the best “Poncha”, a famous Madeiran beverage. A city is greatly known for its fishing port, where fishermen normally fish at night. The scabbard is the most caught and enjoyed fish here. This fish has evolved into a peculiar appearance with big eyes, long snouts, and fang teeth, due to the fact that his habitat is 1,500 m below the surface. An amazing historical fact about this town is that back in the year 1950, Winston Churchill arrived with his wife, and eldest daughter, and stayed here for a while. Having felt inspired by this lovely fishing town, Churchill painted the town, and can now be found in the city for anyone to enjoy.

Going to Camara de Lobos was the final part of our tuk-tuk tour with Andrea. We started with a ride upto the Tropical Gardens at Monte, saw lots of beautiful scenery, went round the old town and were amazed at the fantastic knowledge and information Andrea shared with us. She's a brilliant guide, very friendly, approachable and helpful. The tuk-tuk experience went by far too fast and was the best trip we had all holiday. Highly recommended for the service and expertise of this company. Please book with Tukway you won't be disappointed. The best tuk-tuk firm in Madeira...in our opinion.

The whole experience of this trip was excellent Andrea who was our tour guide and tuktuk driver was just lovely and full of lots of useful information and advice. I would definitely recommend this trip, beautiful scenery and lots of fun in the tuktuk with the roof down! Also great service as I joined my mum and dad on the trip and it was no trouble adding me on to their trip.
