[@user-wq3ko6ei3n]

Well impressed 👍👍👍

[@cindycharest3035]

I’d love to watch this, but your soundtrack is so loud

[@ROLANDO72510]

Hi there great video guys 👍👍 i'm from Madeira , but i always find some new places to see, you can also walk on easy levadas all you need is some food and water so you spend the day walking and enjoying amazing views good luck to you 👍👍

[@pindropandhop]

We are so jealous that you live in Madeira. We have fallen in love with the Island. Thank you for the recommendation, we will be heading back to asap ☺️

[@caseyjames1038]

Thanks for sharing! What time of the year did you visit? I'm going in February, and hoping for good weather.

[@pindropandhop]

Hey, yeah we went in September, enjoy your adventure in Feb! ☺️

[@shapeoftimes]

This looks like Hawaii of Europe! Really hope to visit soon!

[@pindropandhop]

It certainly is! Yeah, you have to go this year 🇵🇹. Honestly if you love exploring and adventure Madeira is number 1 in Europe! Imo

[@PhillipChangMD]

Great video. I have two questions. What season or month did you go? And how comfortable were you in flying your drone - In terms of potentially bothering other people, wind, and or legalities?

[@pindropandhop]

Cheers! We went in mid to late September and very comfortable tbh. Had no issues regarding people or wind. Had a few scares with birds when flying the drone near 25 Fontes. But other than that we felt relaxed flying the drone in Madeira. Hope that helps and enjoy your travels to the island whenever that maybe! 😊

[@PhillipChangMD]

@@pindropandhop going in April. Thx 🙏

[@ferreira3946]

Cool video. I’m planning a 4 day trip to Madeira in the end of march. Do you guys know if the water and weather are good to go to the swimimng pools of Porto Moniz?

[@pindropandhop]

For March time, the water and air temperature will be a bit cooler. The water was about 20 degrees when we went. Madeira is pretty warm all year round but the north side of the island is usually a lot wetter. So take a rain coat 😊

[@pindropandhop]

This website was useful for us 😎 seatemperature.info/porto-moniz-water-temperature.html

[@epicglobe]

End March , begin April , The temperature can go to around 22-4 degrees in the natural pools of Porto Moniz on "a sunny day" . But never warmer. The place is fantastic . We were ther last year and we plan to go back in April.

[@kathychua7449]

where can you suggest hotel to stay in Madeira (good location but budget friendly)?

[@pindropandhop]

We stayed in an Airbnb and mostly looked for apartments. So we aren't too knowledgeable tbh. However, hotel wise there were loads in Funchal. On the Estrada Monument there are lots of hotels however, they may be expensive? Funchal is definitely a good base as there are lots of tours that do pick ups from there! Hope this helps a bit ☺️

When this videos was taken

[@pindropandhop]

September ☺️

[@kawaii02girl]

Ok I bring food and water but how about I need toilet 😩😩??

[@pindropandhop]

😂😂 Unfortunately there isn't much privacy on the PR1 trail. But there is a toilet at the beginning and end. So I'd say, try empty the tank as much as you can haha. Hope you enjoy your adventure ☺️

[@kawaii02girl]

It seems I will walk 2-3hours empty 😩 in the heat

[@pindropandhop]

@@kawaii02girl 😂 it'll be well worth it!

[@kawaii02girl]

I still wondering if I can do this this with a kid

[@epicglobe]

yes it is possible, we did it . take food with you . Toilet at pico do Ariero and toilet at a mountain hut (with food and drinks) 500 m before the peak of Pico Ruivo@@kawaii02girl

[@sooperdeema]

Your soundtrack is annoyingly monotone and loud to the extent that one can hardly hear your voice and narration. Otherwise, it's a good video to watch without a sound. 🤷‍♂️

[@ROLANDO72510]

would you do better??? Ask yourself
