What a great video. I've just started exploring your channel. You have great content and you both have contagious personalities. Keep up the great work! I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. I'm going to buy your guide because I want you to keep creating great content like this.

Thank you so much Nancy! You just made our day🥹 we appreciate you and are so happy to have you here🥰

[@sandymilne224]

Great to hear you two are Canadian! Well done. Madeira is definitely one place I want to visit. I’ve even heard it’s a good place to retire to.

[@madetoexplore]

Thanks Sandy! I could see this being a perfect place for retirement

If I understand well, you said that Pico do Arieiro is the highest lookout in Madeira. This isn't true. Pico do Arieiro is the highest lookout which you can go with car. But the highest mountain in Madeira is Pico Ruivo.

[@madetoexplore]

Yes that’s correct. We were talking about the two peaks so many times that we may have confused them 🥴

When I saw that Pico Grande hike my fear of heights kicked in. Heading to Madeira in a few weeks for 1 week. Definitely want to do dolphin watching and Porto Santo as well.

[@madetoexplore]

Hey Tereza, thanks for watching! Pico Grande is definitely not for everyone but you will LOVE Madeira. Have a wonderful trip☺️

Funchal is known for their New Year's Eve fireworks celebration. You may want to add that. 🙂

Amazing video with spectacular drone shots! I am planning to visit in October this year (mid October). Is it a good time to visit Madeira? I fear it might rain and also the shorter day time

[@madetoexplore]

Thank you. September or October are great times to visit! It’ll be far less crowded but the days will be shorter.

[@BilalKhan-rh1ei]

@@madetoexplore Thank you so much! I'll book my tickets in October for Madeira then 🙂

[@annavieira6922]

Hello, Fellow Canadian here. My husband and I are visiting Sao Miguel and Madeira this summer for a week total. I'm so looking forward to seeing all these wonderful places but hope you could recommend a hike for us that's not too difficult for my husband.

[@madetoexplore]

Hi Anna! We would recommend Miradouro da Boca do Inferno. It’s a fairly easy hike and one of the most popular and beautiful ones on the island! Make sure to check the webcams before going though because it can be cloudy a lot of the time.

[@annavieira6922]

@Made to Explore thank you!

[@krystleirizarry517]

Saccharum looks like the most modern savoy hotel ? What r ur thoughts? Still a cool pool to enter the ocean ?

[@madetoexplore]

It’s very nice! Each Savoy property has a unique theme

[@parsteigums]

In what month you was there? I plan to fly at the end of November at the beginning of December I wonder if the weather will be good or too wet?

[@madetoexplore]

@@parsteigums we were there in September/October and the weather was amazing. It may be a little cooler later in the year

[@tiagoto]

👍👍👍

[@kevinhernandez6444]

which car rental did ya use?

[@krystleirizarry517]

What type of shoes did you use?

Hiking boots

[@RedonkulousDonkeys19]

loved the video!! i am planing my honeymoon here in june 2023 we are planning on staying at the savoy palace for part of the time! which savoy property did you stay at?

[@madetoexplore]

That’s great! We stayed at Saccharum and Next and they were very nice properties. Have an amazing trip! 😄

[@lindseypalmer9500]

I've watched both your Madeira and Azores video - which of those two destinations did you prefer? Thanks!!

[@madetoexplore]

They are both amazing places but we enjoyed Madeira more!

[@Clifton_McWilliams]

I’m probably in the few, I absolutely hated the Pico to Pico hike

[@madetoexplore]

Whys that?

[@ChrissySpeakss]

I am going to Madeira in October. How is the weather like? Rainy? Anyone know? Would you recommend?

[@madetoexplore]

The weather should be great! We didn’t run into any rain but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen

[@gilbert2303]

How would you compare Madeira vs sao Miguel ?

[@madetoexplore]

Madeira is better for hiking and waterfalls and is a bit more rugged. São Miguel is better for drive up viewpoints and hot springs and is more manicured☺️

[@kirstychilds9148]

Pico is a a 36 minute drive from Funchal?

[@madetoexplore]

That’s what the google says! 🙄

[@zHumanfactor]

Hello fellow Canadians. Love your videos. I'm heading to Portugal for five weeks. I'm planning a visit to Madeira. I noticed you were pushing the Savoy Properties pretty hard... was that a paid sponsor you are promoting? They seem super expensive... Airbnb has a much more reasonable nightly rate there. Btw, nice drone shots in your videos.

[@madetoexplore]

Hi there! Thanks for watching 😄 Yes, we did partner with Savoy during this trip. If your looking for a more budget friendly option then Airbnb would be the way to go!

[@zHumanfactor]

@@madetoexplore Okay, thanks for clarifying that. Keep up the good work!

[@bivianacoyomani515]

so ya'll went in the fall or summer? idk what clothes to take in the fall.

[@madetoexplore]

We went in September and it was really nice! Tights and a tank top to hike, and shorts walking around town. But we always bring layers just in case☺️

[@claudiareyes334]

Great recommendations! I’ll be in Portugal in a few days and visiting Madeira. Do you guys recommend renting a car?

[@madetoexplore]

Hey Claudia, thanks for watching! YAY so excited for you, you’ll have the best time☺️ Yes, we loved the freedom of having a vehicle🙌

What month were you there?

[@madetoexplore]

September

[@tubbyrainbow111]

Good place to live as a young single lad(mid 20's)? Went to Azores and it was pretty boring, don't think I was the right age for the place. Very good for couples, families and retirees but not really young, vibrant and happening which is totally fine but not what I am looking for. Does Madeira have many young people (20-30), fun stuff to do, party atmosphere and innovative work things going on? Thanks a mill for the videos!

[@madetoexplore]

Welcome! Yeah Madeira is a much younger/active crowd I’d say. Not sure about the party seen though

[@tubbyrainbow111]

@@madetoexplore Interesting ok, thanks for the tips!

I thought the guide was free?it requests $20?

Hi Barak, no the guide isn’t free but the money does help support the channel so we can continue to make helpful content! Thanks for watching 😄

No map to show location of Maderia. No maps to show location of spectacular points

[@madetoexplore]

Google maps is great for checking all of these locations, just type them into the search bar and voila!🙃

You need to be in good shape for number one and ...both of you are 😂🏋️‍♀️

[@madetoexplore]

It is a tough one for sure! Thanks for watching☺️

[@DiogoF.]

Madeirans are very far from a progressive, tolerant society and are very attached to an old, very backwards, uneducated way of living but the island has great infrastructure, absurd natural beauty and much dignity. It's diametrically opposed to mainland Portugal.

[@madetoexplore]

That’s an interesting opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@Dave-qe6mt]

Hi Guys.....great video, enjoy your channel. What month did you visit Madeira in...we are planning for mid June, wondering about how crowded it will be.

[@madetoexplore]

Hey Dave, thanks for watching! We we went in September. I think mid June will be a great time to go☺️

[@welshlad6427]

Great vlog guys. Heading to Madeira in September and really looking forward to seeing this beautiful island 🏝 Will definitely be doing some of these 👍
