    Kids had a Fabulous Tine

    The Driver was excellent, full of information and always waiting for you even in queues. The toboggans was great funny, and cable car ride was very seneic.

    A must do experience

    Having arrived early after advice from our TukTuk guide the night before walked straight on to the Toboggan’s (Tickets purchased at the ride in cash only €20 per person). The ride is 2 kilometres in length and has a few exciting areas but generally looks more dangerous on film. If your on a guided tour your guide will meet you at the bottom (Not walking distance back to town unless your part alpaca). Your photo will be taken half way down and will be available at the end for €10

    Beautiful Madeira, the good and the bad

    We didn’t do the taboggan in the end. Madeira was beautiful, most of the people were friendly. An expensive place to visit, some things were worth the money others not good value for money. A word of caution, be very careful in the farmers market it is very very expensive and you can buy products elsewhere for a 3rd to a quarter of the price. Do not hire a car from Magic Islands car hire, they actually take the deposit from your card and they keep your deposit for months, that’s if you get it back at all. I’m still waiting since 16th May 2026, it’s now 11th August. Plenty of things to do and enjoy. Shop around for best prices and quality before you buy or book

    Fun ride

    Toboggan ride was great fun very quick and no queue when we went , For two people cost €40 and if you want photo at end another €10 . Either wait for bus (€2:10)or walk back to town (2hrs) taxis are expensive. Or get hop/off bus run every 45-55 minutes to monte Gardens are lovely but steep steps ,walkways on cobblestone so wear trainers .

    Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $303 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.

    Is Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 88 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive)?

    +

    Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Funchal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Funchal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Funchal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
