Whale & Dolphin Watching Tour

Whale and Dolphin Watching is an incredible experience for all ages. The observation of these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat is a moment that stays forever in our memory. The waters in Madeira Island are very rich in cetaceans – there are 28 species recorded (about 35% of all species worldwide), , a few of the most common are listed below:

• Pilot whale Globicephala machrorhynchus
• Fin whale Balaenoptera physalus
• Bryde’s whale Balaenoptera edeni
• Sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus

This is a unique chance to observe whales and dolphins in Madeira Island. These 2,5 hours tours start in our shop, at Marina do Funchal, with an educational briefing about the occurrence of whales and dolphins in Madeira, including all the information about the activity. This tour counts with the help of spotters from land, which elevates the chances to find more species per trip. Our crew will help you with the species information and identification.
