Overview

The Monte Toboggans Sledges first originated in the early 19th century when they were used as first means of "downhill" public transportation by the local residents who wanted to travel quickly from the village of Monte to the city of Funchal. Presently and for a number of years now, the Sledges are used to transport thousands of tourists every year, seeking a ride full of emotions, adrenaline and an unforgettable experience with splendid views over the city and beyond. We Partner with Carreiros do Monte to give you this thrilling adventure. We will take a walk around Largo da Fonte, a very famous square and beautiful with its gardens, then we go see the beautiful church of Monte where we can find the last tomb of the last Austro-Hungarian emperor. In the end you will take the fun ride of going down in the Toboggan sled. Note: Please note that it is not allowed to ride the biggest sled when you are only one person or two person.

Madeira Taboggan Ride.

Published on Aug, 2024

A fantastic experience and a great way to get down the steep roads of Madeira. It barely lasts 10 mins, but it's a must if you're going to this island. It's like you're in a 'Flintsone Rally Car' as your guides take you sideways around corners and pilot you through these tight streets. I would avoid doing this if the cruise ships are in as the queues for this and the cable car rides are ridiculous.

Great trip!

Published on Jul, 2023

The trip was amazing, Eduardo & Francisco made sure to explain everything and much more! We explored great stops and hidden gems, highly recommended!

Lovely Trip in Machico

Published on Jul, 2023

Our Private Trip started by meeting our guides Francisco and Eduardo right next to our hotel. The trip was perfect and they are very knowledgeable. It felt like a going on a trip with our friends. Since it is a private, we felt very comfortable with timing and took our time to explore any part of the trip without any urgency like the big bus tours. Totally recommend this 3 hour tour to visit the town of Machico and go on the amazing Sled Ride.

Great Fun!

Getting to know more about the Monte Train station and Funchal. Eating local and going to the Mercado.

Toboggand sled - what a wonderful experience

Published on Jun, 2022

We have done above tour in May 2022. Our guide was Richard, very sympathic, very friendly, we experienced and on the tour to Monte with already a lot of explanations. At Monte he shows and explainde us the railway museum and the history of the railway, the Botanic garden and the church with the history. Although in English the was no problem to understand and his explanation were excellent. Her bought the tickeect for the sledge and was waiting with us in the row for 1 hour until we got our sledge. The tour with the sledge was excellent and a big fun and shortly after arrival Richard picked us up at the arrival station to bring us back to the hotel. And, 1 week after return home, we received a lot of photos made by Richard. Let's summarize: It was a phantastic experience and can be very much recommended. And, Pearl of Atlantic has to alter our date and contcted us well in advance, in German language, so that we could find a solution which suits both of us. Next time at Madeira we will do this trip again.
