Itinerary

Madeira’s favourable location allows us to cross paths with a great variety of cetaceans. As the majority of these animals are migratory, their coordinates are always different. It is up to our Spotter on land to locate them with the help of binoculars & inform our crew, allowing a gentle approach & close encounters. Our RIB Boat allows us to act quickly, which not only provides higher chances to see cetaceans but also we have more time to keep on searching for other species. Our goal is to show you as much as possible from what nature has to offer!

Great experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour overall! We ended up seeing two type of dolphins, and some swam right up to our boat which was terrific. The guides were extremely friendly and professional, highly recommended!

Magnificent experience

Published on Dec, 2024

It was an amazing experience with this company: easy to book, well organized and the staff were very friendly. We saw 3 families of dolphins and we loved it! It's a pity we didn't see any whales, but maybe next time! We would definitely do it again. Also the guide was very engaging.

An excellent trip

An excellent trip. Well worth while. Really good boat with skilled captain and guide. Saw lots of pilot whales as well as a sperm whale. Several large pods of striped dolphins and also bottle nosed dolphins. A real bonus was a close up sighting of a gorgeous sea turtle . Highly recommended

Lucky day at whale watching

Published on Dec, 2024

Super super fun adventure! We were fortunate enough to see at least 10 sperm whales doing their bussiness. The staff was really nice and was willing to search thoroughly for the whales and they did! They also explained to us if in 30-45 minutes we do not see anything we'll return to land and we'll be rebooked or refunded which, in my opinion, is a fair approach. I love animals and this experience was exactly what I wanted. I totally recommend it to anyone and looking forward to coming back.

Great experience

It was sooooo great. Although it was foggy our crew was able to spot 7 spermwhales!!! One of the best experiences of my live. That boat had a nice speed, too. It was so much fun.
