Asked on August 3rd, 2025Do you guys offer transfers to and from Madeira airport? If not, what would be the best way to get to the meeting point on the first day and at the airport on the last day? Is uber an option?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
Unfortunately we do not offer transfers on our Europe tours. From Madeira Airport (FNC), you can reach the city centre of Santana in a few ways. By bus, exit the airport to the right and go to the bus stop "Cemitério-Zona 14." From there, you can take the 103 (Arco São Jorge Via Porto Cruz) or 138 (Cabanas Via Porto Cruz) and stop at Lubriana-Santana. The ride takes about 1 hour. To pre-arrange an arrival or departure transfer, we recommend you book through our preferred transfer provider - HolidayTaxis.
