Whale & Dolphin Watching

Trust us on this one: that’s an experience you’ll never forget! Did you know that over 20 species of whales and dolphins visit the waters around Madeira? Our Whale and Dolphin Watching program gives you the unique opportunity not only to observe these magnificent creatures but, if you wish, even to swim with dolphins. The adventure begins with a short briefing at our headquarters, where our marine biologist explains the trip and highlights the cetacean species you may encounter that day. Once ready, we head to the Marina, where the real adventure begins.

To ensure the best sightings, our team of shore-based observers constantly scans the sea for cetaceans and sends us precise coordinates, so we don’t waste a moment searching. Throughout the journey, our marine biologist remains on board, providing expert insights and context about the animals and their behavior. If you choose, and if the dolphins are feeling sociable, you can enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience swimming among them. The program includes guidance from our marine biologist, and the meeting point is at Av. Arriaga 75, 9000-045 Funchal, Portugal.
