Cabo Girão is the highest sea cliff in Europe — 580 metres of sheer volcanic rock plunging straight into the Atlantic Ocean. Standing on the glass-floored viewing platform at the summit, with the ocean visible directly beneath your feet, is one of the most memorable experiences in Madeira. Our tuk tuk tour from Funchal takes you up to this extraordinary viewpoint along Madeira’s scenic coastal road, with your local guide sharing the geology and history of the cliff along the way.
The tuk tuk is open-air, which makes every viewpoint feel more immediate than a coach or car. From Cabo Girão on a clear day, you can see the terraced banana plantations on the ledges below the cliff, the fishing village of Câmara de Lobos to the east, and the long sweep of coast back towards Funchal. A quick, impactful, and very Madeiran experience.
