This is the best video I have seen of Madeira so far. Your footage is beautiful but more importantly, your in depth and detailed descriptions of the locations including maps and tips is greatly appreciated. Well done!

[@vaishnavipattabiraman1586]

One of the best videos about Madeira I have seen so far. Loved the details of the 10 must see places, and the pros/cons of some of these places. Great efforts taken to describe Pico to Pico hike, I am going to re-watch that section again to absorb all the content described and then decide based on my fitness levels. I will be in Madeira third week of June, during my first visit to Portugal. Thank you so much for presenting a super informative and beautiful video on Madeira.

[@stevecrombie5357]

Well you did it gain. You made me pause this video, go make my wife stop what she was doing, and come watch with me. Simply marvelous adventures. You never disappoint. Love you. Stay safe. ❤🙏

[@ian.and.ana.]

Hahaha Steve you are the best!! To be honest we are still blown away by that island. By far one of our favorite places we have ever been to

[@ian.and.ana.]

[@itsrainingcatsanddogs2651]

[@faisalabbas152]

Such a wonderful video 😍

[@SamirPatel-lj4jm]

Love your videos you make it so easy to plan trips keep them coming guys

[@paulverluyten8993]

We have been living on Madeira for 10 years now, and still enjoying it every day. Fine video ! Just a reminder: fish is not seafood! Madeira is not really a seafood place (except from lapas we don't care for), but there are several kinds of fish on the menu of most restaurants

[@dennisaires1621]

Nice video, would like to visit one day

[@triponlynet]

Beautiful places thanks guys

[@chyangasherpa642]

Very useful information, thanks a lot

[@twoamericansandadog7212]

Despite your weather issues, you came up with a very good list. Excluding Cabo Girao and Santana (too touristy) were fine moves. My only complaints (minor) are that Fanal should have been higher and we would have added the Nossa Senhora de Fátima Chapel (with its glorious views of the Sao Vicente valley). For first timers, you did well. We spent six weeks on the island last February and March and are planning to move to Madeira this summer. It really is an extraordinary island. There is so much to do and explore for a place that is the size of Singapore. We still haven’t experienced places like Porto Santo, the Valley of Nuns and the Achadas da Cruz cable car. But we will. ;-) Also, Paul do Mar may be (relatively) in the middle of nowhere but it really is a unique place. Glad you got to stay there.

Nice tour, greets from sunny Marmaris

[@ian.and.ana.]

Glad you liked the video 🤗

[@slowtravelvlogs]

You guys are really good at what you are doing… 😊

[@Travel.with.jafari.]

Hello my friend 🙋🤝🙋🇨🇭🇨🇭 Thank you for your very beautiful video💝💝💝

[@goingbacktoourroots]

Ahhhh I would move to Madera sight unseen lol love that y'all hit this spot so I can see it through your eyes! I'd love a budget breakdown of the trip we'd be going from the US with 2 teenagers so trying to budget for it

[@alangauld6079]

I love Madeira and want to do the Picos hike but both times we tried there were weather warnings due to high winds and rain. Maybe third time lucky... I enjoyed your selection of "best bits" although I'd probably include the cliffs at Cabo Girao (3rd? highest in Europe).

[@mortenstulen1310]

Great tips! 🙌🏻That was definitely not 18m though

[@ian.and.ana.]

Haha thanks so much and I think Ana read the script wrong, I think it was 8 meters and not 18

[@katyjfells]

We are booked for next year and cannot wait! Did you guys hire a car and if so any tips? I hear mixed reviews on booking there or in advance 😃

[@ian.and.ana.]

That’s so exciting!! We always use Discovercars.com because they look at over 500 companies including local ones. I think we paid $700 for 13 days of renting a car. It all depends on time of year. The thing is discover cars will give you insurance coverage and then when you arrive, the car companies will try to tack on $25-35/day of their own insurance policy. It isn’t a scam really but kind of pointless and scummy for them to push this on you. We just stuck with our insurance through discovercars.com which was $90 I think

[@katyjfells]

@@ian.and.ana. Thank you so much, that’s super helpful, will give them a go! Yes the insurance bit is always tricky - I usually buy an excess policy at home before I travel as an extra backup. Keep up the great work you two, love your videos ❤️👏🏻

[@lifewithoutspices]

Do we need any permission to fly drone here?

[@ian.and.ana.]

They are not too strict on drone laws just yet but you should always be careful not to fly around the east part of the island because of the airport

[@lifewithoutspices]

@@ian.and.ana. thankyou for your reply ❤️❤️

[@katyjfells]

We are booked for next year and cannot wait! Did you guys hire a car there and if so any tips on where to hire from? I hear mixed opinions on hiring there or in advance 😀

[@nunopereira986]
