Why you’ll love this…
  • The views over Funchal from your one way cable-car ride are out of this world
  • You'll have plenty of time to stroll around the landscaped Monte Palace Tropical Garden
  • If you're feeling adventurous, there's an optional wicker tobboggan ride down the mountain
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. 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.

Madeira sunset dinner cruise with eclipse experience

A sunset at sea is a highlight in itself. Add an eclipse to the mix and the result is an evening you'll be talking about long after you're home. This exclusive boat cruise gives you front-row seats to a celestial event that doesn't come around often, with the open sea and Madeira's beautiful coastline as your backdrop. As the boat cruises offshore, there's time to cool off with a swim before dinner is served on board. Relax into the pace of the evening, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a fresh perspective on Madeira that many visitors never experience. We've thought of the details too, with eclipse viewing glasses included so you can enjoy the event safely. Whether you're on deck as the eclipse unfolds, this is an opportunity to witness a natural phenomenon that only comes around once in a while.
