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.
👉* HOTEL WE STAYED rated as "Wonderfull": www.booking.com/hotel/pt/baia...

Hey, amazing footage. But the title is wrong, Madeira isnt know as the Hawaii of Europe, never in my life i heard that and i live here . It is know as the Atlantic Pearl as long as i remember. More or less , the place in Portugal that actually look closer to Hawaii, would be Azores Islands, not Madeira islands. Have fun
@SuitcaseMonkey
@SuitcaseMonkey Рік тому
Hey thanks. Yeah I hear you. The reason I mention it is that (possibly due to the transfer of information online) but that reference is out there about Madeira online. The main reason I included it is I watched a UKposts who was from Hawaii and she made the comparison herself and said often she would feel like certain views were just like Hawaii. So that was enough for me. But I hear your point.

My family goes back over 400 years in Madeira, Portugal, and after seeing the island in person, I'm convinced they were part mountain goat! The steep and narrow roads, and steep and narrow walkways, make it difficult to get around. It's nothing like Hawaii. (Mrs.Rugby)
@nylesgregory2120
@nylesgregory2120 Рік тому
Ditto on that distinction. Hawaii it's not - for those of us who have lived in both places. Yes, both are islands, but that's where the similarities end for many, many reasons. Video is nice. However to all who view - best be informed, visiting for four days is not the same as living here. And any comparison to Hawaii is a dangerous stretch as an argument. If only . . . and I'll leave it at that

I really appreciate the manner in which your reviews are done, not over the top with just enough information to interest viewers. Clean and efficient narrative coupled with a relaxing cadence ensures no frustration or viewer fatigue. Madeira is definitely on our visit list in the near future. I hear June is a good time to visit with the best chance of sunshine, moderate climate and not too busy like July and August. Continue making lovely docu-tourism material.
