In port for a day? Make it count.
We pick you up at the ship, show you the Madeira the shuttle buses never reach, and build the whole day around your all-aboard time.
Three steps between gangway and adventure

We meet you at the port
Your guide and Land Rover collect you at the cruise terminal for a small pick-up fee. [Fee and exact meeting point — Jeff to confirm]
Back with time to spare

Full detailsCruise questions, answered
What if my ship is delayed arriving?
Tell us on WhatsApp as soon as you know — we track port arrivals and adjust the pick-up. [Jeff: confirm exact policy wording]
Will I definitely make it back before all-aboard?
We plan the route backwards from your all-aboard time with a safety margin, and your guide manages the clock all day. [Jeff: confirm the promise you're comfortable making here — this answer sells the booking]
Where exactly do you pick us up?
[Meeting point at the Funchal cruise terminal — Jeff to confirm exact spot + add photo of the meeting point]
Is there a fee for port pick-up?
Yes, a small pick-up fee applies for the cruise terminal. [Amount — Jeff to confirm]
Can we do the East or West group tour on a cruise day?
Not yet — the full-day group tours don't currently run for cruise visitors. Private tours give you the same landscapes on your schedule, and it's something we're working on for the future.
