Madeira is a sub-tropical island that differs from other locations with similar climates in a very special way. The island has virtually no pests and is free of dangerous insects and bugs. Wild animals are limited to rabbits and birds. There are no snakes and no swarms of irritating mosquitoes! On the same note, the waters surrounding Madeira are shark free and one has to venture out in a boat to encounter whales, turtles and dolphins. Come to Madeira and enjoy the holiday of a lifetime in safety and security!
