In the case we don’t see any cetaceans, we offer a second trip! Strong possibility of spotting whales and dolphins in all their magnitude and in their natural habitat. Discover the beauty of Madeira Sea and Coast line on board our catamaran. You have the chance to swim and do snorkelling.
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.

We absolutely loved this trip! It was an amazing experience, with beautiful views of the sea and Madeira’s coastline. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins swimming freely, which made the whole experience even more special. The crew was very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere on board was fantastic. Definitely worth it!
Such a memorable experience on the Atlantic! We had the opportunity to see dolphins and whales in their natural environment, and watching them move through the water was incredible. The crew were welcoming, professional, and clearly passionate about the wildlife.
Experiência incrível! Avistamento de golfinhos e baleia bem sucedido. Equipa super competente e simpática. Paragem na praia e volta na linha de costa muito interessante, com explicação por parte da equipa. Experiência super recomendada.

A lovely experience from start to finish! We were lucky to see dolphins swimming freely in the ocean, which was even more special than I expected. The crew was friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. A beautiful way to enjoy Madeira from a different perspective!
We went as a family, and the kids were amazed! The guides were so kind and explained everything in a way that made it fun for everyone.
A beautiful experience from start to finish! 🐋🐬 Sailing on the catamaran gave us a wonderful perspective of Madeira’s coastline, with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the open sea. Seeing dolphins and whales in their natural habitat was the unforgettable highlight of the trip. The peaceful atmosphere, ocean breeze, and incredible scenery made it feel like a truly special day in Madeira.
The catamaran was modern, spacious, and offered both sun and shaded areas. The crew was very helpful and did everything to ensure everyone could view the cetaceans safely and respectfully. I would repeat it without hesitation!
If you only pick one sea‑trip in Madeira, choose this catamaran with guaranteed sightings. We did a morning departure, saw the cetáceos, then had the rest of the day free. The boat ride back along the cliffs and into the sunset was magical. Good organisation, friendly team, memorable.
(*) In the case we don’t see any cetaceans (dolphins or whales), we offer a second trip! (!) Check-in ends 30 minutes before the departure. (*) This trip is not available for 25 of December and for 1st of January morning.
