Overview

We churn up the ocean in our search for the right coordinates, and there they are! Dolphins! Playful, communicative, energetic! Although it seems they are posing for photos, they are actually living in their own enchanted world. Whales who may or may not give off embarrassing odours, decide if they will honour us with a visit. Adding to this 3 hour memorable taste of wild life, we sometimes have the opportunity of spotting turtles and seabirds.

When the climate is inviting, we stop for a swim in the ocean below Cabo Girão, and when there are favourable winds, we turn off the engines and hoist the sails, which means less pollution and more relaxation. A 3-hour trip that is worth doing at least once in a lifetime by both locals and visitors. Reserve your place and bring your loved ones along!

Lovely experience: saw several whales and dolphins

How lucky were we? The catamaran and superb crew are respectful and knowledgeable about wild life and sailed us within the allowed distance on our whale watching trip. To protect the animals, only two boats can watch the same animals - and for an allocated time limit. We saw pilot whales, bottle nose dolphins and the excitement of the day sperm whales with a baby alongside. Lovely experience. Take a jacket and sun lotion. Thank you This is Madeira for the great recommendation.

Thank you This is Madeira island

You have to be there 30 minutes before. Unfortunately I had to bite the bullet myself. The reception was super nice, rebooking was quick and everything on board was great. You were pointed out where you don't get wet, but you get the full broadside wave from there, including a towel. It all works even without German.

Amazing

Great trip away from the island with stunning views back. We were lucky enough to see both dolphins swimming along with the boat AND a sperm whale approx 20m from us who popped up to se what was going on. Emotional! Fun but unobtrusive commentary. If I'd remembered my towel I'd have swum with the fishes in the bay too.
