24 Hours in Madeira Portugal | Every Tourist Mistake We Made

A full Madeira travel guide (Cristiano Ronaldo island) from two people who couldn't stop saying "wow." as soon as they landed in Madeira airport. In this Madeira Portugal travel vlog we take you on a proper Madeira trip around the island, packing a whole Madeira itinerary into 24 hours and sharing everything we wish we knew before we booked our own travel to Madeira. We wander the fairytale Fanal forest, swim in the Porto Moniz natural swimming pools up on the wild Madeira north coast, chase the black sand beaches around Seixal, and figure out how to actually book the famous Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo stairway hike — easily one of the Madeira best hikes, and the one we learned about the hard way. If you're wondering what to do in Madeira or where to stay in Madeira, we'll show you why we're obsessed with sunny Ponta do Sol, how close it is to Funchal, and why you 100% need to hire a car for all that Madeira hiking and island exploring. So whether you're after the best places to visit in Madeira, planning your first trip to Madeira island, or you're just here for the Madeira vlogs — stick around, because this Madeira Portugal island honestly has our hearts. 🇵🇹 📍 CHAPTERS 00:00 – The Fairytale Forest (and the Fog Mistake) 01:20 – Check This BEFORE You Go, Or You'll Miss It 02:40 – The Black Sand Beach Cafe 04:31 – The Rock Pools You Need to Get to Early 07:27 – Where You Should Actually Stay in Madeira 09:00 – Driving Madeira: Tunnels, Cliffs & the Best Road 09:30 – Poncha, Madeira's Signature Drink 12:50 – The Sneaky Hike Hack (Don't Do This) 15:50 – Cheek Little Beer Stop 17:30 – Exploring Funchal 🏨 FREE Accommodation List 👉 Download it here: https://stan.store/FIt_Nomads ✈️ Travel insurance we actually use: https://safetywing.com/?referenceID=26057020&utm_source=26057020&utm_medium=Ambassador 📲 Follow Us 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit_nomads_/ 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fit_nomads 👨‍💻 Tijs: https://www.instagram.com/fit.with.tijs/ 👩‍💻 Abbey: https://www.instagram.com/abbeyj_pt/ #Madeira #MadeiraPortugal #MadeiraTravel #Portugal #MadeiraIsland #PontaDoSol #TravelVlog #TravelGuide #PortoMoniz #VisitMadeira
