Vi starter først til Pico dos Barcelos, dette er et smukt udsigtsområde i udkanten af Funchal. Her kan du nyde en fantastisk udsigt fra 355M over havets overflade. Efter dette fantastiske fotomulighedsstop kører vi derefter til Eira Do Serrado, dette er en iøjnefaldende klippehøjde, der overser "Curral das Freiras", en hesteskoformet dal under os. Denne dal har tre rene sider, der skærer ind i de savtakede toppe på Madeira.
Næste stop på vores halvdags luksustur er Camara de Lobos, der ligger vest for Funchal. Her vil du elske karakteren af en lille fiskerby. Det blev opkaldt efter de berømte munkesæler, som hyppige besøgende til havnen. Landsbyens centrum med sine hvidkalkede huse, butikker og bar, hvor du kan smage den lokale drink poncha, er en fantastisk måde at afslutte din tur med stil.
Derefter tager vi vej til Cabo Girao: Den næsthøjeste havklint i verden (efter Norge). så navngivet, fordi Zarco kom så langt på sin udforskning af Madeiras kyst i 1418, før han gjorde en omvendt drejning (girao) tilbage til Funchal. Der er en lille, godt sporet miradouro. Med en fin udsigt over mod de fjerne. Det er en dejligt og roligt sted. Duften af fyr og eukalyptus i luften. Vin og grøntsager dyrkes ved foden af klippen.
Derefter afslutter vi vores tur med stil med det berømte Monte Toboggan-løb. Dette er en af Madeiras mest berømte attraktioner. Monte Sledge - en kurvekælke - dateres tilbage til 1850'erne, var det primære middel til offentlig transport ned ad bakke. To mænd, kaldet “Carreiros” klædt i hvidt og iført stråhatte, vil være dine chauffører på dette downhill eventyr. De bærer specielle sko med gummisål, der hjælper dem med at styre og bremse kælken, som i det væsentlige er en kurv på kurven, der er fastgjort til to træskinner (der glider på smurte klude). Turen til bunden tager cirka 10 minutter ad en kurvet vej, og du kan forvente at nå hastigheder op til 30 km / t! Denne private tur vil derefter slippe dig tilbage til dit hotel eller krydstogtskib og sørge for, at minderne om denne dag vil leve længe i din hukommelse.

The driver was excellent and very knowledgeable of the local area. A very scenic driving tour with many opportunities to stop and enjoy local sights and foods
Enjoyable experience a must if you go up the cable car, we did the gardens then the toboggan, only downside was the wait took around a hour to get on but worth the wait. We walked back to Funchel 35 minute walk all down hill, might be worth getting a cab but haggle with them it gets cheaper.
It was fun!!! A lot of fun! Go on and just do it! We laughed a shouted all the way down! It’s two kms of fun! We even bought the tourist snap dot at the end!
From start to finish, Michael was the consummate guide, sharing lots of factual info about beautiful Funchal. We weren’t rushed…he safely maneuvered the narrow streets up and down the steep hills of the city. We got to see amazing vistas from various locations, especially from The higher elevations. He was flexible as well as considerate, so we saw and learned so much about this unique location off the coast of Africa. (The weather canceled the toboggan ride; we had to be flexible ourselves.) Another outstanding Viator excursion!!
this is such a blast going down the streets of Maderia .You travel really quickly but it is really safe .Would say its something you have to do
Did this as a combined excursion that included the cable car ride up to the start of the toboggan ride. There was a fair bit of queueing despite there being 70+ toboggans and 140+ staff. The ride itself was fun, but did not appear to be not as scary or fast as the trip that Susan Calman had, shown on TV a year or so ago. Worth doing, as its a unique experience.
Went on the cable car and toboggan ride as part of an excursion organised by our cruise company P&O. Glad we went on an organised tour as got preferrential place in queue for both cable car and toboggan. Cable car gondola held 6 people seated. Great views looking back at Funchal. Start of toboggan ride a short walk from top cable car station. Toboggan ride is great - speed controlled by 2 staff. Photo taken part way down the ride and available for purchase at bottom toboggan station. Cafe, tat shops and toilets available at bottom toboggan station. Would recommend.
Driver was our tour guide and was very friendly but hard to understand his English. He took us all around as expected. What a beautiful island! Unfortunately, the toboggan experience was sold out to cruise ship passengers so we didn’t get to do that.
. . . I've done it, but never again. I didn't want to do it but my daughter wanted to. All 'Health and Safety' out of the window. So glad to reach the end and left via taxi as soon as possible. I didn't like the attention my daughter received; inappropriate.
It is fun. Just be prepared that it’s 30 euros for two and you will probably queue for an hour. Not a must-do for me, but my son (13) loves it.
