What to expect

The subtropical climate of Madeira makes it an ideal spot for a dazzling array of plant and flower life. Be charmed by the exotic gardens of Monte Palace on this half-day excursion, and take in fantastic views high above Funchal from a cable car.

As you soar up above the capital in a cable car, you'll witness special views of the city below – and of the Atlantic beyond. You may ride the cable car either up or down, at the discretion of the guide. And as you enter the palace's world-renowned gardens, you'll be struck by the aroma of exotic species – planted in immaculately landscaped gardens. There are fountains, follies and grottoes aplenty and oriental-inspired sections.

Wander among the beautiful blooms, and soak up the serenity of the swans wading in the many ponds. And for a fun extra why not take an optional toboggan ride down the mountain on a wicker sled. It's the traditional way to travel down, with two ‘carreiros' – or drivers – manning the brakes. Your guide will pick you up at the bottom for the return transfer to the hotel.
