- Tobogganing in Funchal
Gaining speeds of up to 30 kilometres per hour, Funchal’s famous toboggans are a definite visitor favourite. Simply sit back in one of the traditional wicker basket sledges and two men clad in traditional Madeiran white clothing will push and guide you along the route weaving through the city’s steep streets.

Overlooking Funchal, Madeira’s botanical garden is home to a dizzying array of plants. Bursting with colour, this ever-changing display showcases everything from giant Madeira geraniums to magnificent cacti.
- Rock pools at Porto Moniz
Madeira is dotted with large rock pools along its coastline, but the best have to be in Porto Moniz in the north of the island. These rock pools have been shaped with concrete to make them smooth-sided and perfect for swimming in. With the ocean waves breaking nearby, and sometimes lapping into the pools themselves, this is the ideal place to feel the raw power of the Atlantic.
