Whale and dolphin watching Madeira

We have always been curious about the other inhabitants of our planet. We will take you to see what the ancient Greeks called “Ketos” – marine monster – and observe them in their habitat.

 HOW WE WORK 

What makes us the best choice for whale watching

Whale and Dolphin Watching Madeira

SPOTTER

We work with a spotter on land to make your trip a better experience. It’s his job to locate and inform where are the whales & dolphins (which are also known as cetaceans). Thanks to him, our success rating in 2020 was 100% and 99% for the last 5 Years.

Why not include an extra to your normal trip? Swimming with dolphins is an unforgettable experience! Grab snorkeling gear and jump in the water with these friendly animals. Watch and "feel" them where they belong - in the wild! We have two different and very friendly species that you can swimm with in the atlantic. If the conditions are right and the animals are in a good mood, don’t miss your chance! In case it’s not possible you only pay for the normal trip.

A Pre-booking is required (Max.4 Pax /Trip), please contact us.

This experience can be stressful since you are holding onto a cable, and being dragged by the boat (it´s not free-swimming).
Experience with snorkel equipment is mandatory.

SPECIES

Spotted Dolphin Madeira

Spotted Dolphin

(Stenella frontalis)

Always ready for fun and play, this species is known by our team as "the clowns". Mostly seen in Summer, they enjoy following boats that are moving fast, and to play among themselves and with us, giving us amazing moments when they decide to “fly”. Being this friendly, this is one of the species we can swim with here in Madeira.

Pilot Whale Madeira

Pilot Whale

(Globicephala macrorhynchus)

One of the two species of cetaceans that we have a local population, but we also have groups in migration. Having a local group, it is always possible to find them, they always travel in groups. When we find them resting it’s one of the most impressive moments, because we can easily approach and admire these animals.
