Private Whale and Dolphin Watching Boat Trip in Madeira

Overview

This private excursion departing from Machico takes you to the wildest parts of Madeira island to observe cetaceans in their natural habitat. A specialised marine biologist is on board throughout the trip to share their knowledge of marine wildlife. Depending on the conditions and the species encountered (common or spotted dolphins), it may be possible to swim with the animals. Safety equipment, including a life jacket and a professional raincoat, is provided for every participant. As wildlife observation is subject to nature's unpredictability, the provider commits to offering a second free trip if no animals are spotted.
