Spent 48 hours in Madeira last week walking three venues and timing the 25-minute FNC–Funchal transfer at different hours; the site visit saved a couple from booking a cliffside spot with impossible coach access. For groups of about 50 flying from JFK and LHR, I still lean toward a Saturday inbound/Tuesday outbound pattern and a mix of two 28-seat shuttles — curious if others are finding staggered arrivals smoother or sticking to a single group block?
