4 Days in Madeira, Portugal Island | WOW "The Hawaii of Europe"
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.

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
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 KZhead 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.
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

I really enjoy how you document your travels! It is about experiencing without showing off and it connects really well with me :) thank you!
Such a beautiful island. Never realised Madeira was like this. Loving the videos too, on both channels.
Thank you for the guided tour! Beautiful Island❤
Perfect timing of this video - I was just looking to book a trip to Madeira for March! Your travel videos are fab.
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!
So exciting! I can’t wait to travel here. Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful island! Love that you also go the less known destinations ⛰🏝
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
Love this video!! So inspired!!! Thank you so much for being so detailed!!
beautiful ... thanks for sharing
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 :)
I’m going to Madeira in September and I’m now super excited after watching your blog. Thank you 🙏
I have been in Gibraltar and Madeira very soon. I love those view
Very beautiful, my great grandmother came from Madeira . Thank you very much.
How a beautiful place 🙏😍
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
Love it! Fab vlog, and Madeira has bobbed to the top of our “must visit” list.
Wow this place looks amazing.. definitely it’s now in my bucket list ..
We’ve just booked a week in Madeira in June - love Portugal but never been to Madeira, so very excited now watching this!
We spent a month on Madeira last year and wow…couldn’t love it more. Great video!!
Hi! Thanks a bunch for your vids, it's a great pleasure to watch!

Beautiful place indeed! Looking forward to visiting next month.
Wow stunning ❤
Another great video! Madeira has been added to my bucket list.
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?
Thanks for a great video, we’re interested in going next year 😊
love your videos mate! they are so calming, beautiful, funny and innovative!
Wow! What a great video! I would so enjoy getting to visit this because Island!
I just booked my trip and couldn’t believe it when I came to KZhead 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! 🎉
Thank you! But where were you a month ago when I posted Lisbon? Lol
@@SuitcaseMonkey exploring all of Vietnam! Hah
Fair enough!
Wow what a beautiful place 😍
I wished I had seen your video before my trip to Madeira in January 2023. I look forward to seeing your other videos. I need to go back there.
You inspired me to travel more and I hope this year will be a year full of traveling for me
Love your videos they are very informative. Thank you
Europe's Leading Island Destination ... Breathtaking natural scenery that merges with crystal clear waters, centuries-old traditions, genuine flavours, and the
Loved the tips at the end of the video. Thanks for all of the information!
Your video was fantastic. Madeira looks beautiful, and made us think hard about extending our time in Madeira.
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
BEAUTIFUL VIEW
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
@@nylesgregory2120 please elaborate
We are thinking about going to Madeira. This is a very well done and helpful video! Thank you for putting this on KZhead!
What a great video, and wonderful commentary!! Wow! Thanks
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! ❤
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.
I really love watching videos like yours. Thanks for a great tlme.
Wow...great video on Madeira. Thanks!
very nice impressions of Madeira😍😍thanks for sharing🙏🙏
This video along with all your others are just a pure pleasure to watch🥰👍👏🏻🙏✌️🤙
Thank you so much 😀
Wow,so beautiful 👍
what an amazing vlog! it was super helpful for planning our trip. Keep up the good work 😍
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!
Stunning I'm in tears I'll have to get in shape tp ho.peaceful
Yes my island home is very beautiful ❤️
Stunning! Thanks.
Beautiful Place
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.
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!
This is what we aim to deliver on this channel. Welcome
What a fascinating journey y'all went on! I can't wait to go to Portugal, thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this vlog!! I am planning on going here for my spring break
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.
Thank you my friend
Eu vou voltar um dia 🧡🤞🏼💫 Parece muito mais moderno
Very beautiful!
An amazing and precious video, very useful for me, I'm preparing for the trip in September, thank you!
Great video, wish we could afford to go there. Thanks for posting.
This is very interesting information! Thank you for your awesome job!
excellent video , amazing traveling with you as always. Super!
You are my favorite vlogger! Thank you.
We’re contemplating a trip and found your video very useful. Thanks
Very useful clip with full detail of information. Very much appreciated.😍😍
Amazing
Looks fantastic!
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
AMAZING - thank you
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?

Excellent vlog. We are going there soon and your information will be very useful. Thanks.
Very nicely made video! Thanks for all the tips
