I’ve seen a few videos now of the toboggan rides, but yours was the best. It’s best because your filming angles, or whatever magic you do, made me feel like I was in the basket with you. Very through, showing how to get there, the costs, how to get down again. Thanks, you’ve saved me some € because I feel I’ve done the ride myself!
Haha thank you! It’s all about the angles! I had to make it seem more exciting than it was somehow! I expected a faster, near death experience but sadly not haha! I need to get back to Madeira and film more videos now I’ve learned the trade a little more
@@hungrytoexplore to be fair when I went on it it was as if we were going to crash but still fun, hope you’re doing good aswell mate I met you on the plane leaving Madeira and you were having a rough time
@@xjallows5388 haha I think maybe if there is no traffic and you have a wild guide, you might get lucky. Yes, I remember clearly. Things are all good now thankfully - I moved on from that situation. So much so, I am moving back to Madeira to start my own life there in the summer.
Cheers Paul, it is fun, but I would have liked a bit more speed. I guess they need to be safe over anything else haha. The go-karting track is preferable haha.
Thanks Joe, I covered this too in a forthcoming vlog! Actually the walk down back to Funchal from where the toboggan ended was very pleasant & took about half an hour. There's quite a bit to see so I took it all in & enjoyed the calorie burn! Congratulations on reaching 800 subs! I think I was your 400th ealier in the year! I'm quite away behind you as I've only reached 228 today! Have a great week my friend!
Yes, I was expecting a Mario Karts experience when we went - overtaking cars and other baskets! The queues were very long in February 2023 for both the cable car and this attraction.
firstly, Madeira does not have a tipping culture. Secondly, not everything is put into the edited video :) but like I said, no expectation to tip at all in Madeira at 98% of places, only higher end restaurants.
These tobogans are a true scam. They hype them, they look fast and exiting, but it's very boring and slow. I would not recommend to anybody to spend their money here. Even spending that money on wine and drinking it would be much more fun than tobogan rides.

@@hungrytoexplore would honestly do anything to do that wow
We visited Monte on Tuesday. Had a fantastic week here .
Did you enjoy Monte? I am happy to hear that you had a great time in Madeira
Nice video Joe. Never got to do that ride. Maybe next time.

Cheers man! Have a great day.

I wonder why... haha
That was definitely a cool ride and I saw us right there behind you at the end of the video 😀
haha that is cool, I enjoyed it, just want a bit more speed next time haha.
@@hungrytoexplore indeed it seemed faster at first but wasn’t as much as we all thought, but it was still fun

Great video and presenter skills!
Also thanks for the tag! You were a fab toboggan companion 😉🥳
No problem! It was fun to take the ride with you.
I loved doing this 😂😂🙌🏿
Me too, but needed a bit more speed I would say
Yes, I was expecting a Mario Karts experience when we went - overtaking cars and other baskets! The queues were very long in February 2023 for both the cable car and this attraction.
Haha I wish it was like that!
@@hungrytoexplore my wife said… was that it? I think she wanted us to launch over the crossroads - go airborne!
@@tinglestingles hahaha. The go kart track in Faial... now that is fun.
Looking forward to this in August
Just make sure you get there early to avoid that queue! Enjoy :)
@@hungrytoexplore will do cheers m8
its meeee , i push you down the hill ! (the guy without mask)
Haha awesome! I hope you enjoyed the video.
No tips for the pushers?

Grande 👍🤣🖐️
Do you tip the guys after you get off the basket?
Ah I did not. I didn’t see anyone doing it. Tipping in Madeira isn’t really a thing.
Americans tip them. I know everyone in our group tipped and they seemed to expect it from us.
Waaaaaaawwwwww😂
Weeeeeeeeeeeee
My knees feel sick watching these men control those baskets.
haha, I think it would be more fun controlling it than in the basket.
Thank God it’s not fast

P.S.: they also don't take you to the very bottom, so you have to walk down many kilometers like an idiot...
