It really is a must when in Funchal, it’s not scary, just fun! The botanical gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed Henrique showing us some super sights around the city!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 106 reviews · 50 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $47 per person Top rated

Your private tuk tuk picks you up around Funchal and carries you uphill through the Old Town to Monte. Guides such as Ricardo, Ricky, Alexis, and Miguel explain local sights, suggest photo stops, and wait while you take the famous basket ride downhill. The sled ticket costs extra, and an early start helps avoid long queues.

“Had a lovely ride in the tuk tuk with Ricardo who did some stops along the way up to Monte. He has a great sense of humour and we both throughly recommend using this tour as an alternative way to explore the Island. The tobogganing is 100% worth it and will set you back 35 euros for 2 people for the ride. I advise booking this tour early to avoid the queues. We booked 9:30am, this was only a 10 minute wait at the top. Stopped off in the farmers market on the way down and by the santa maria church for some photos. Give it a go, it's fun…”
