Join us for 4 days in Madeira, an island in Portugal, which is a 2 hours flight from Lisbon. We visit Funchal, the islands capital, the local farmers market, some stunning botanical and tropical gardens, ride the cable car, and go on two beautiful hikes. One across a bunch of waterfalls known as PR6 – Levada das 25 Fontes and the other, known as PR1 – Pico do Arieiro, a hike which is best seen at sunrise. Also in this video, I cover a bunch of tips for those thinking of visiting – renting a car, hiking information, public transport, and more.

Hope you all enjoy this love letter to this beautiful European island! I'm so happy how this one turned out. Please leave a like above on the video and let me know your thoughts below as usual! Happy new Year!
You should have went to Seixal and Porto Moniz, probably even more stunning than the sunrise in my opinion
Nice video and sound track music
This was perfect. We're going in February to escape the British winter. Lots of ideas that I'll definitely follow up.
Always such a beautiful experience to watch your videos! Itโs just all perfect, image, narration, and all the details. Thank you.
Very useful clip with full detail of information. Very much appreciated.๐๐
Nice ๐ journey to Madeira,i want to do one for myself!!
Great tips also will help me in my trip.
Amazing pictures ๐.
your videos are topnotch

Looks fantastic!
what an amazing vlog! it was super helpful for planning our trip. Keep up the good work ๐
Very impressed with the quality of narration and great iphone camera & drone control! I been to most Islands in Hawaii, but this location looks very unspoilt and not effected by low key tourism. Can't wait to see the next episode and look forward to more adventures๐๐ค
Love gardens and waterfalls so I'll have to add this place to my bucket list. The red railings were a beautiful architectural detail in that landscape.
What a beautiful island!
Love that you also go the less known destinations โฐ๐
Awesome video
Wet dream for sure haha
Hi.
I love the view.
And the city is very beautiful.
More support
All the way South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ
Wonderful video – I enjoyed this very much – very well made!!
That cable car and garden entrance ticket seemed a bit pricey. Your GPS looks like the GPS maps you often see here, I guess it is a mountainous country thing. I am looking forward to Finland as it is somewhere I have always been interested in. One day I will see a Suitcase Monkey vid from Taiwan mind, I am sure!
Fantastiche immagini ๐๐๐
Awesome โค keep rocking!
Hi, thank you for making this video. In which month did you visit?
Thank you for sharing ! Incredible scenic video footage – good job !
Currently on my 10th trip to Madeira. A beautiful island. If you havenโt visited, I urge you, to do so. Youโll be hooked!
wow cool! I haven't been to this place, it feels new and interesting, thank you for the video
We went on the cable car and walked around the botanical gardens which were beautiful. Beware though…I walked near some grasses and must have been bitten ( didn't realise at the time). Saw the rash on my leg ….. Developed diarrhea and ended up on antibiotics!
