We didn't visit Madeira for a week. We live here.
Most guides get written after one good trip - the highlight reel, not the reality. This isn't one of those. We've called Madeira home for over three years, and living here year-round
That's what gives us an intimate understanding of the island: its hidden gems, its seasonal changes, its local culture, in a way a quick visit never could. Every location, every rating, every recommendation in this guide is something we've walked, eaten, or tested ourselves - not pulled from a blog written by someone who was here once, back in 2019.
Inside 460+ pages, you'll find
Planning your trip
- Ready-to-go 5-day and 7-day itineraries, plus 7 day trip itineraries for photographers
- Month-by-month weather, what to pack, and where to stay
- Flights, car rentals, and driving tips to get you settled fast
Exploring Madeira
- 20+ best hikes reviewed, with difficulty, tips, and photos
- 100+ unique locations you know from our photos
- Interviews with experts in hiking, canyoning, food, and culture
Worth more than it costs
- Up to 20% discounts on tours, activities, and car rentals
- 100+ tested restaurants across the island
- Your own private Google Map with 250+ locations

Your book is terrific!
It’s much better than the other guide I bought. Thank you! One of the main reasons to purchase your book is to travel efficiently and avoid unnecessary hikes, especially the PR1 hike.
Your book is highly beneficial: it provides precisely the information I am looking for, and they are more difficult to find or require much effort to find from the web. Personally, if a book can save me on photo shoot session time, it will be worth everything I paid.

Helpful and convenient
I’m so glad I purchased the ebook before we left.
Having access to the custom google map was a game changer. I’ve never traveled with one before and it made everything so easy, especially having a rental car.
We loosely used the 5 & 7 day itineraries to plan our days. LOVED that there were a couple places marked, where we were the only people there?!?!?! Incredible. I feel like we got to see so much more of Madeira efficiently because of this resource. Resto recs also good. thank you!

Very useful book
We will be traveling to Madeira soon and Karol’s book and blog and Youtube videos (picture the world) have been the most valuable sources of info we could find.
The book is detailed and well organized and the pictures are – well – out of this world.

Essential in Madeira
My 10 days on the island would never have been the same without this valuable guide.
I had all the information I needed to organize my visits and sightseeing to the best and without wasting any precious time! My drone was also really happy to fly on some marked spots 🙂
I would take a guide like this for every wild place to explore around earth!
Overall such a great job…and please, always keep it updated for my next time in Madeira!
It´s a real gem to always have at your fingertips.

Stumbled upon this site and guide to Madeira at the beginning of our trip, and decided to buy the guide anyway (we had a bit of research done before). We used it throughout the entire trip, particularly the 7 day itinerary, hike reviews for planning, and restaurant recommendations. I highly appreciate the attention to detail, as well as support from Karol over email.

Me and my husband are heading to Madeira in May. It will be our 2nd time. Last year we went to Madeira in summer, didn’t see many cool places, as we didn’t really have a plan. We wanted to be spontaneous, but whenever we were getting to the place it was super busy. We went to Arieiro pick and it was crowded. We went to Fanal and there was NO fog. We were very sad. wasted our time. Now we decided to invest in this book. Sooo much cool useful info. I’m sure we will have totally different trip this time. Feeling excited!!

My wife and I have been coming to Madeira for more than 10 years and we always hire a car and explore the island. Nevertheless, it was well worth buying this guide as we discovered many excellent new locations to visit and restaurants to try. As a photographer myself, the guide uncovers the many hidden photo locations that I would never have found otherwise.
Karol (verified owner) –
Thank you for this fantastic review, Geoff! I also have very fond memories of our photography tour in eastern Madeira. It was a great day, and I’m really happy I got to share that experience with you.

I am back in the US and I wanted to take a moment to say that I had a wonderful experience in Maderia!
Let me be frank, before my career change I was able to spend months abroad and I could take my time uncovering hidden spots. But now, I knew I would only have 8 days on island and I saved up for almost a year for this vacation and I was getting so overwhelmed trying to plan out where to go on which days and what locations were close together.
Then I found this guide, and once I opened my download WOW the relief I felt. Even aside from the guide book, the Google map with the pinned locations was worth every penny I paid.
The guide was an amazing tool to use as a reference, every restaurant we chose from the recommendations was absolutely delicious, the viewpoints and some of the waterfalls were some we never would have come across otherwise and they were beautiful and uncrowded.
Our canyoning adventure with Peter was something we will always cherish! AND we received a discount by booking through the guide.
If your on the fence about purchasing I’m here to say don’t even give it a second thought, go ahead and let this guide plan your vacation for you and get to enjoying your trip stress free!!

This Madeira guide was honestly so helpful for planning our trip. It saved us a lot of time because everything was clearly explained, with great location ideas, practical tips, and useful advice on when to visit each place. It felt very personal and easy to follow, not like a generic travel guide. Definitely worth it if you want to explore Madeira better and feel more prepared.
