I'd consider this for a family wanting a shorter outing from Funchal. Infant seats are available. Cruise passengers can agree a start time around the ship's arrival.
Monte is the first stop. You can visit the church or take the optional toboggan ride. The route continues to Cabo Girão and Pico dos Barcelos before Câmara de Lobos.
The tour starts at €190 per group for up to 4 people. There is also an option for up to 7. Check the vehicle arrangement for that option. Entrance fees are separate, including the toboggan ride.
