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.

SPECIES
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
(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.
