👇🏼 3 mistakes you need to avoid in Madeira 🙅🏼‍♀️

(Save this post so you don’t forget 🔖)

We’ve spent over 6 months exploring Madeira, visiting as many spots as possible – and these tips will make your trip a whole lot smoother:

🙅🏼‍♀️ Don’t come here just to rush through a bucket list

One of the things that makes Madeira so special is the slower pace of life here along with the amount of hidden gems that are “just around the corner”.

Make sure you allow for extra time in your itinerary as you’re exploring around the island, and stay connected with an eSIM (we recommend sailyworld), so you can pull up your maps to find different viewpoints, cafés, and hidden gems. This is truly the best way to travel around the island 🫶🏼

📍 Comment ‘TIPS’ and we’ll send you a list of our favourite spots along with a 10% discount code to Saily eSIM 🤗

🙅🏼‍♀️ Don’t come unprepared

A little planning can go along way, and personally, we think this is so much nicer to do at home rather than figuring it out once you’re here.

The main things we want to highlight are:

1) Pack for all activities and weather 🥾☔️💨

2) Know how to stay safe
• Download the ProCiv Madeira app
• Always check if a hike is open, and
• Get a sailyworld eSIM to stay connected at all times

💛 Saily eSIM takes less than 5 minutes to set up, and you can do it before you arrive in Madeira, so you’re covered from the moment you touch down at Cristiano Ronaldo Airport

💶 eSIMs start at €3.49 for 1GB or €16.99 for unlimited data for 5 days
(Use the code ‘RWA10 for 10% off)

🙅🏼‍♀️ Don’t wait until last minute

Since Madeira is a very popular island, accommodation does tend to book out – and the same with rental cars. While you’re almost always able to find something last minute, your options will be limited, and the prices will be higher.

Book hotels and car rentals at least a few months in advance, to make sure you get something nice for a good price.
