A private tuk tuk climb from the old town of Funchal up the old roads to Monte with a local guide and viewpoint stops, ending with the option of the traditional wicker toboggan run back down.

Hotel pickup is included, the toboggan and other tickets are not. 4.94 from 131 reviews at €40 per person.
