Detailed description

Spot the whales and dolphins out at sea in Madeira on a trip by catamaran

Madeira is part of a volcanic archipelago which means that stunning scenery is guaranteed on the Portuguese island. The terrain is notably mountainous with a medium to high mountain range teamed with valleys. Take a boat tour in Madeira and spend 3 hours just off the coast and get the chance to relax with a hint of adventure along the way. 

You are guaranteed to see the whales and dolphins in Madeira on a catamaran tour. Watch the wonderful marine animals as they play with their friends and splash about in their natural habitat. If you don't know too much about dolphins and whales, fear not as this is ideal opportunity to fix that for once and for all. If for whatever reason you don't get to see the creatures, you'll get offered a second tour free of charge. So, either way you definitely get a snapshot into the marine life in the Atlantic Ocean.

The catamarans have got seats and nets close to the bow. Simply soak up the sun and listen to the sound of the waves crashing during the catamaran trip in Madeira and put your feet up with a soft drink in hand. The ships are equipped with bars and toilets, so you can stay fed and watered whilst on the Madeira boat tour.

The catamaran will take you from Cabo Girao to the coast of Madeira in summer. Dive into the Atlantic Ocean and cool off in the water with a spot of swimming or snorkelling. Pack your sunnies and your swimming stuff for the catamaran trip in Madeira.

Tour with whales

No whales were seen on the tour, but the trip was still interesting and relaxed, the fresh air was lovely, the day sunny, the people nice. And then we were told that we could join a second tour to see the whales. That´s what we did, 2 days later, and the wish came true, the whales were there! Perfect, everything perfect, we can only recommend!

Tour mit Walen

Bei der Tour waren keine Wale z sehen, jedoch war der Ausflug trotzdem interessant und entspannt, die frische Luft war herrlich, der Tag sonnig, die Leute nett. Und dann wurde uns gesagt, dass wir eine zweite Tour mitmachen könnten, um die Wale doch zu sehen. Das haben wir dann auch gemacht, 2 Tage später, und der Wunsch wurde wahr, die Walen waren da! Perfekt, alles perfekt, können wir nur weiter empfehlen!
