On this special boat tour in Madeira, you'll watch dolphins and whales in their natural habitat - all without bothering them. The boat trip starts in Funchal, where you'll get an upfront introduction by a marine biologist. You'll hear what you can expect to see and what you need to pay attention to. The lookout person on land watches out for dolphins and whales in the meantime and then advise the skipper of the boat to go to the suitable places, where you can watch dolphins and whales on Madeira at this moment.

Up to 28 different whale- and dolphin species regularly occur in Madeira, so it's very likely you'll see bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, sperm whales and spotted dolphins and - with a little luck - even a sea turtle. The marine biologist on board helps you to identify the majestic animals and you can take some unforgettable pictures with your camera. Take this unique moment in and enjoy it, before you return with the speedboat back to Funchal, where the whale- and dolphin boat tour ends.
