Forum Question Posted By: Replies:
Madeira Island Cost of Cable car ride to Monte, and price of wicker basket/sled ride..
Posted: Fri February 13, 2009 07:46 PM UTC
Hello again....more questions!!

Would someone know the current cost of the cable car to Monte, per person, one-way?

Also, would you know the cost of the wicker basket/sled ride?

We are trying to put together a tour and would like to know the cost of things we want to do.

Thank you so much for all your help...past, present and I'm sure....future :)

Single trip to Monte is about €10, the cost of the toboggan ride is €26 per couple but add to that €10 euros for a photo which they will present you with at the end and the two men will also ask for a tip. There will also be taxis waiting at the end of the ride who will charge the very high price of €15 - 20 to take a short journey back into Funchal. It is possible to walk (all downhill) and there are also local buses which go back into Funchal. Might also be worth looking at the Tripadvisor site for Madeira as there is lots on information and reviews there,

Thank you so much, Indian3Summer....that is useful information. They sure know how to charge for a photo..almost as expensive as the cruise ship...LOL

We are taking a tour, where our taxi driver will be waiting for us...but the cost of the cable car and toboggan ride is not included in the tour cost.

Thank you again!!
