Cetacean Watching in Madeira Island. One of the main attractions of Madeira Island is undoubtedly its sea and its rich marine biodiversity. This trip takes you on a relaxing excursion in search of dolphins and whales (and other marine life) off the southern coast of Madeira, discovering one of the most beautiful seascapes of Madeira. A 3-hour trip, during which you will have a strong possibility of observing dolphins and whales in their natural habitat, a unique moment of contemplation that you will hardly forget. You will have the opportunity to dive into the crystal-clear waters of Cabo Girão, one of the highest sea cliffs in the world (580m above sea level). We have snorkeling equipment on board for those who wish to glimpse the seabed in that area, or if you prefer, simply lie back in our net while admiring the magnitude of Cabo Girão high above. During the trip our qualified crew will explain everything step by step, with technical and historical information, in several languages, so that you can make the most of this unique experience. This is undoubtedly a trip that all visitors to Madeira Island (and locals too) should take at least once in their lifetime. A unique, relaxing and enriching experience that you can enjoy with your family. If we are unable to spot any dolphins or whales, don't worry! We offer a second trip so that you have another opportunity to observe these species and all their magnificence in their natural habitat. Enjoy the beauty of the Madeiran coast aboard our catamaran. Possibility of observing dolphins, whales and turtles.

A wonderful experience exploring Madeira from the Atlantic! 🐋🐬 The catamaran was comfortable and spacious, making it easy to relax while taking in the spectacular coastline. The highlight was seeing whales and dolphins in their natural environment — watching them move through the ocean was a truly special moment. The crew were welcoming and attentive, creating a relaxed atmosphere from beginning to end.
An unforgettable experience out on the Atlantic! We had an amazing time watching dolphins and whales in their natural environment, and the excitement of seeing them appear alongside the boat was incredible. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and enjoyable.
We had a brilliant time out at sea! Seeing dolphins in the wild was such a special moment, and the boat ride itself was really enjoyable. The crew was welcoming and made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. Definitely something I’d recommend while visiting Madeira!
Crew was very nice and helpful, unfortunately we didn’t get any chance to see whales and dolphins but they give a another free trip to everyone. But my flight was back to london so they give me a open ticket for next time whenever i visit. I really appreciate them
