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
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 TH-cam 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.
@Jolanta Szczyglińska doesn't matter where you choose in portugal you will find peace even more so on the island madeira the birth place of my grandmother
@@malcolmmacdougall you can give your opinion without bringing down a Caribbean island tho. I guarantee you in the Caribbean we have places just as beautiful as this just in our islands/countries that are least popular lol
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating such an incredible travel video. Watching your video was like taking a virtual trip around the world - I felt like I was right there with you in every location!
A tip for 25Fontes. Get started early. We got picked up at our hotel in Funchal at 6.00 and we were alone at the waterfall. We passed hundreds on the way back.
Me and my husband went to Madeira back in 2015. This video reminded me of how beautiful the island is! I'm now thinking about going back there next year - now as a family of 3 :)
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.
I absolutely love Madeira is one of the most wonderful place as I've ever seen in euro would love to go again and go on the amazing honk across the mountains
Europe's Leading Island Destination ... Breathtaking natural scenery that merges with crystal clear waters, centuries-old traditions, genuine flavours, and the
Just wanted to say that we loved your vlog! It was clear, full of helpful tips and balanced. Just perfect for those looking for a general understanding. Thank you!
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.
I usually don't press like or comment, but since you asked nicely, I did it. Also, I'm Portuguese and all my family on my mother's side is from Madeira. I go to Madeira at least once a year, usually more, and used to be there for 2 months every summer when I was younger. As a half-Madeira native, I appreciate your video. Good job in showcasing what Madeira has to offer
I just booked my trip and couldn’t believe it when I came to TH-cam to see you just posted a video about Lisbon and Madeira! You’re always one big step ahead of me. And I must say, your videos have always been excellent but your editing has gone through the roof!!! Well done, buddy! 🎉
I booked a flight to Madeira a few days ago and could not find a decent video about the Island, and now my favourite channel releases this brilliant video, omg, watching for the third time already, love it! 🤩 Thank you! ❤
Another brilliant video. From Melb, never knew much about Madeira until now, thanks to you. Especially love the footage of the sunrise and also the slo-mo of a waterfall with Chiaki walking behind the water. Glad you’ve gone full time. You upload quality work. Thank you
Great video… I was born in Portugal but my family moved to the USA in the mid seventies. I’ve been back a few times but haven’t been to Madeira. Planning on a family trip in early 2025. So looking forward to it. I Love my Country and humble people.
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)
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 love madeira. People are so friendly. We did the Risco and Lafonte 25 hike and it is not for the tainted heart. You have to be in pretty good shape to hike around 2000 feet elevation and staircases. It was amazing
Thank you my friend and welcome. This channel is half travel vlogs just like this and half travel guides to different parts of the world. I hope you enjoy our back catalogue until the next one.
Thank you so much. Is so much about Madeira and the other Portuguese islands that I would love to know about. I have in mind to visit all off them when I can. That’s one of my dreams. I love this beautiful country, the genuine people, the food and the weather😍💝
Another great video! I love the idea of renting a Smart - I had one for 10 years. We visited Madeira back in the late 80s. Stayed at the Casino Park. It was the week before Christmas and warm enough to swim in the gorgeous outdoor pool! We met Roy Barraclough in the bar. When he discovered that I wasn't feeling well, he bought me a Fernet-Branca, telling me it would settle my stomach. How thoughtful. A nice memory. :)
I'm going to Madeira in a little under a month, wow this video has me so excited. I will be doing a lot of what you did in this video! We are staying for a week!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to take a 1-week trip to Madeira or Milan/Rome in April and this video is making me lean towards Madeira for sure. It's so beautiful! 😍
@@witlof5492 Thanks for the tip! I've since finalized Milan/Rome but I'll surely check out Sicily for a future trip. Maybe in the summer so I can also enjoy the beaches 😀
Rome is cool, but I'm sorry there's just no way I'm choosing Milan or Rome over Madeira. Especially if I have 1 week, I'm trying to wake up everyday and feel like I'm in paradise.
I love your travel channel what draws me to you guys is your refreshing authenticity, informative outlook and simplicity. Please keep your unique selling point when you venture out to full time travel vloggers. There is soo many copy cats out there in the content creation world recycling the same look.
Really informative video, many thanks. I'm actually planning a short trip, because of the flight back availabilities only 4 full days, so your video was perfect! No showing up. Great! Thank you ❤
Great videos!! Yes, you should go back and go to some of the places you missed: natural swimming pool at Porto moniz. Teleferico de achada da Cruz, cabo de Sao Vicente. Levada do calderao verde. Calheta. And the whale watching!
Woah congratulations on going full time! I'm so excited to see what's to come. Your videos are so well put together, I appreciate that you show us the aesthetic beautiful shots but also the real life ones so that if we make the trip ourselves we won't leave feeling disappointed! Also this may be a random request but I'd really love it if you included what dates you were away for, I know near the end you mentioned October but I think it would be super useful so others can know what to expect if they go the same time in the future (applying the effects of global warming too of course... XD)
Just found this video and your channel. Love the way you document your travel and the added small hints of humor in between. Liked and subscribed! You made me want to travel to Madeira for sure! Going to watch your other vlogs now!
Thank you for this wonderful video of Madeira. So informative, clearly spoken and delightful to watch. We have just booked our first visit to Madeira and your video has been very helpful.
Portugal was never on my travel list. Your videos have changed my perception. So stunning !! As your channel tag line says, I may have just found my next holiday destination.
Of a quality I have come to expect from your filming and editing, Thank you, good photography and narration and I really did enjoy the holiday with you. Viewing the walks I assume most are open only to those able to walk the walk, which for those coping with managing a wheelchair companion makes them inaccessible In many instances ifnot able to walk them . Remembering, to give an odd comment about accessibility might help those hindered by such problems. and act as An informing source, Well done. it certainly shows off many of the good features of Maderia and certainly makes me consider the place for a holiday,
Thank you so much posting this video .... After seeing your video I travelled to Madira ... its like magical world .... extremely beautiful... I really enjoyed it...
New Portugal Video ➡ th-cam.com/video/Mn3mC66FHcU/w-d-xo.html ⬅ Porto is a gorgeous city and should definitely be on your radar. This video shows why!
Happy new year to you too
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

Yes, yes come to Canada! Very helpful video on Madeira - we’ll use all your tips when we get there. Thanks.
Fab place have been there!
I’m from Madeira ❤ In Portugal, Madeira is known as “The pearl of the Atlantic” 🌍
I am going to move to Portugal in 2 years being retired. Do you recommend your islands for permanent life?
@@jolantaszczyglinska8291 Yes, if you like peace and quiet.
@Jolanta Szczyglińska doesn't matter where you choose in portugal you will find peace even more so on the island madeira the birth place of my grandmother
Hi Eduardo, What is the weather like in Madeira in February ? Thanks !
@@robertfekete4656 amazing all year round
it make me tear up, each time I'm in Madeira, such a amazing world we live in! it takes my breath away, every single time. love the island
Am fost și o sa revin ...merita
yes i'm going back next year...... this place beats St.Lucia easily.
@@malcolmmacdougall you can give your opinion without bringing down a Caribbean island tho. I guarantee you in the Caribbean we have places just as beautiful as this just in our islands/countries that are least popular lol
Madeira blew my mind last Summer. Unbelievably beautiful island with vast diversity of scenary. 🤩😍
madeira is the most beautiful place i ever seen ,breathtaking,i rented a car for 7 days i went everywhere .i mean everywhere
I really enjoy how you document your travels! It is about experiencing without showing off and it connects really well with me :) thank you!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating such an incredible travel video. Watching your video was like taking a virtual trip around the world - I felt like I was right there with you in every location!
Thanks
The sunrise in PR1 bit at 8:23 made me tear up. Beautiful shots, great music choice and unbelievable scenery.
As an editor by trade, this is about as good of a compliment as I can ask for. Glad you enjoyed
Madeira has been a dream of mine for a while now, and having my favorite travel vlog channel make a video about it is perfection. Thank you so much!
When we visited Madeira, we took the toboggan basket ride in Funchal and it was fantastic - we enjoyed it so much so I highly recommend it!
Great Video! We just returned from a month on Madeira and loved it so much we purchased our retirement home there.
Such a beautiful island.
Never realised Madeira was like this.
Loving the videos too, on both channels.
A tip for 25Fontes. Get started early. We got picked up at our hotel in Funchal at 6.00 and we were alone at the waterfall. We passed hundreds on the way back.
Good to know! Thanks
Funchal was my favorite port last year. It was stunningly beautiful! I would go back any time at the drop of a hat!
Me and my husband went to Madeira back in 2015. This video reminded me of how beautiful the island is! I'm now thinking about going back there next year - now as a family of 3 :)

This is what we aim to deliver on this channel. Welcome
love your videos mate! they are so calming, beautiful, funny and innovative!
You got me excited about visiting anew destination that I never considered. Thank you for a beautiful video.
That’s always my goal! 😍
What a beautiful island!
Love that you also go the less known destinations ⛰🏝
Madeira looks amazing, can't wait to go! My wife and I love your videos, keep up the great work!
This was perfect. We're going in February to escape the British winter. Lots of ideas that I'll definitely follow up.
Hello how’re you doing?
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.
Careful if you visit the gardens...I would advise you not to touch the plants ( like I did) because I got bitten and needed medical attention!
You inspired me to travel more and I hope this year will be a year full of traveling for me
Visiting Madeira & Portugal in September. These videos are making me really excited about our trip. Thanks
So exciting! I can’t wait to travel here. Thanks for sharing!
I usually don't press like or comment, but since you asked nicely, I did it. Also, I'm Portuguese and all my family on my mother's side is from Madeira.

Thank you! But where were you a month ago when I posted Lisbon? Lol
@@SuitcaseMonkey exploring all of Vietnam! Hah
Fair enough!
I’m off to Funchal 21-30 January so thank you for this video, I can’t wait to see it now
Hello how’re you doing?
Always such a beautiful experience to watch your videos! It’s just all perfect, image, narration, and all the details. Thank you.
Love this video!! So inspired!!! Thank you so much for being so detailed!!
Thanks!
Thank you very much 😍😍😍

Very beautiful, my great grandmother came from Madeira .
Thank you very much.
Loved the tips at the end of the video. Thanks for all of the information!
Hi! Thanks a bunch for your vids, it's a great pleasure to watch!
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)

Thank you so much for your video. We’re thinking about it.. love to visit Madeira just the two of us.. is a little intimate going alone.
Love this video! So informative and I have added Madeira to my wish list now. Congratulations on going TH-cam full time yay!!
I love madeira. People are so friendly. We did the Risco and Lafonte 25 hike and it is not for the tainted heart. You have to be in pretty good shape to hike around 2000 feet elevation and staircases. It was amazing

We’ve just booked a week in Madeira in June - love Portugal but never been to Madeira, so very excited now watching this!
Thank you so much for sharing. My husband and I were looking to plan our next trip and I think we found it.

Milan is not very nice so wouldn't recommend there
How about Rome and then down to Sicily. Beautiful island with great Greek ruins in Agrigento. You can get the train there from mainland Italy.
@@witlof5492 Thanks for the tip! I've since finalized Milan/Rome but I'll surely check out Sicily for a future trip. Maybe in the summer so I can also enjoy the beaches 😀
Sicily was added to my list acting watching season 2 of White Lotus 😍
Rome is cool, but I'm sorry there's just no way I'm choosing Milan or Rome over Madeira. Especially if I have 1 week, I'm trying to wake up everyday and feel like I'm in paradise.
My friend and I have a week booked in April here and this will be so helpful for ideas of what to see. Thank you 😊 Great filming.
