Since this week Balcões made it to our favorite viewpoints in Madeira! After going here two times before without any luck on seeing the actual view, we were dedicated to see how it looks on a clear day. So we went for a third time this week and were rewarded with a crystal clear view on the highest peaks of Madeira! We had the balcony all for ourselves on this early and autumn crispy morning.

We really enjoyed the last 2 weeks with our mothers. They had a great time and discovered many beautiful places in Madeira. Yesterday they got back to The Netherlands again and we’ll miss them! For us, the past 2 weeks also felt like a mini holiday to enjoy the time with our mothers to the fullest. The coming weeks we have a lot scheduled for our Madeira film and blogs so we are super excited to work fulltime on that again!

The trees in Fanal forest are mesmerizing, in particular on a foggy day! This photo is shot with our new Sony A7SIII. Despite it’s a video-focused camera with only a 12MP sensor, we think it performs great in taking photos, especially for social media. What do you think of the result?

The sunrise this morning was a beauty again! We took our mums up to Pico do Arieiro for some epic views. Of course we took our new @sonyalpha gear with us! So here are the first shots! We are very happy with our new cameras, stay tuned for many more new footage❤️

Exploring the ‘hidden gems’ of Madeira. This tiny village is isolated from the rest of the island and only reachable by cable car or when you hike down the mountain. No one lives here permanently and there are only a few local farmers who have a little piece of land to cultivate their crops. Definitely one of the most remote places on the island but very fun to explore!

Running into sunrise on Seixal beach was one of the unforgettable mornings here in Madeira. This beautiful black sand beach on the north coast has an incredible back drop of green mountains with crystal clear blue waters. A place where you kan keep staring into the distance and be in awe of nature’s beauty 💚

The perfect backdrop for a morning stroll! Madeira’s north coast is rugged with green mountains and incredible viewpoints. Even after being almost for 2 months on the island there are still so many new spots to explore. This part made it straight to our ‘top favorite spots of the island’ 😍

Back to the city life in Madeira after living on the rural side of the island for the first month. @hotelthevine was a relaxing and luxury getaway for us the first days after coming back from Porto Santo island. It’s nice to experience a different, more vibrant vibe and to explore new spots in Madeira. We feel at home and will stay on the island for at least another 2 months! Can’t wait to share more with you guys as there is still so much content to go through 🤪

We got back from 10 days on Porto Santo Island and had lots of fun exploring around! The Netherlands where we both originally come from, is famous for the windmills. So we were surprised to find them also on this tiny Portuguese island Porto Santo!

This morning Matias from @portosantodestinationtours took us on his kayak tour and it was more than amazing! First we’ve explored some caves and a beach at the southwest side of Porto Santo. Along the way the view was like this with high cliffs rising out of the ocean! After that we headed south to the neighbouring island Ilhéu da Cal. We went into another cave where we took the second photo. All shots are taken with the @GoPro 6. Thanks again for this amazing experience Matias!

With views on the small island Ilhéu de Ferro, Miradouro do Furado Norte is the perfect spot to watch the sun go down. On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you rate this sunset?

Feeling so small in front of these impressive big volcanic cliffs. It’s crazy to realize that Madeira is only the top quarter of the entire volcanic system that is covered by water from the surface to a depth of 4000 meters!

Finding hidden gems on Porto Santo! This morning we enjoyed a crazy beautiful sunrise from this epic spot. Porto Santo island is most famous for its beautiful sandy beach but it has so much more to offer! We keep exploring the coming days and can’t wait to show you more of this little epic volcanic island!

We swapped Madeira for it’s tiny neighbor island Porto Santo which is only a 2,5 hour ferry ride away. The coming 10 days we’re exploring the island and share all our adventures with you. Yesterday was already a super nice first sunset at one of the many viewpoints on the island. Swipe for another angle

One of the most epic adventures so far on Madeira! Chasing the Full Moon with @jackson.groves
Last week it was Full Moon so we decided to see if we could capture the moon with a mountain peak and a person in it. Inspired by @chrisburkard his incredible Supermoon highlining picture of 2016. With little moon photography experience but with a lot of motivation, dedication and inspiration we went off for this Full Moon mission to Pico do Arieiro. We had two camera’s, two 100-400mm lenses and 1 tripod. Jackson is most experienced of us three with hiking and climbing, so he went up the mountain peak in the dark. Our Full Moon mission worked out and it was so epic to do!! Swipe to see all the pictures we shot.

Pico do Arieiro with clouds. The circumstances we’ve been waiting for to shoot! And yesterday was finally that day 😍 After analyzing the cloud movement on the webcam of Arieiro for weeks, we jumped into the car yesterday and drove to Arieiro before sunset because it looked very promising. We shot a scene for our Madeira film and could capture this photo in between when the light came through the clouds. Another epic adventure in Madeira, but super cold and windy 🥶💨

This morning was another sunrise for the books. We love to get up early and watch the world slowly waking up. It was a bit cloudy when we arrived at this beautiful beach in Madeira. But once the sun rose above the clouds, these magical lightrays bursts through and gave us this epic photo opportunity.
Madeira we love you and we can’t wait to explore more!! 😍

Our first waterfall picture of Madeira from today’s hike! We’re now for 2,5 week on this beautiful island and enjoy every second exploring it. Follow along in our stories to see more behind the scenes of the Madeira film we’re producing and the real life adventuring stories 😁

Madeira impresses us everyday, here you see the western coastline of the island. Immense high cliffs raising from the ocean as far as your eyes can see. Not a bad spot to watch sunset right?!

A change of scenery. From Thailand to the Netherlands to Portugal, Madeira 😍We’ve been on Madeira island for 1 week now and explored a bit around. Our first sunrise mission was to these natural pools with impressive lava rock formations. The water was so still it looked like a mirror. We can’t wait to explore more the coming weeks of what this impressive and varied Portuguese island has to offer!

Past week we were back in the Netherlands and spend 5 days in Rotterdam @premiersuitesplusrotterdam
With our suite located in the city centre and we could easily explore all the hotspots of Rotterdam and shop some new travel clothes.
Of course we also had quality time with our family, but these 5 days in the Netherlands have flown by! It was good to be back, especially in Rotterdam, the city where we both have so much youth memories!

The reason why we came back to Holland from Thailand is because there is no certainty about which countries in Asia will open up in the coming months. Because we could experience difficulties with our VISA in Asia, we decided to come back to Europe. So after a short 5 day stop in the Netherlands, we arrived today on the island Madeira, Portugal. We base ourselves here for the foreseeing future and are super excited to explore this beautiful island in every corner! New adventures ahead 😎⛰

It’s almost 5 months now that we’re living in Thailand, Koh Phangan. We absolutely feel at home and enjoyed the amazing nature, crystal clear waters, impressive limestone rocks and yummy food 😋
We worked a lot the past months on the blog, if you’re interested check it out via the link in bio!
Next week we’ll change country and travel slowly again. We can’t wait to go on new adventures 😍🎥 Are you planning small trips for the coming months?
