What to expect

Teeming with marine life, Madeira's warm waters are the ideal place to combine a whale and dolphin-watching trip with all the little luxuries of a VIP cruise. You'll have three-hours at sea to enjoy an open bar, snacks and a swim stop, alongside a talk by a marine biologist to learn about which species you might see and how to spot them.

After arriving at Funchal marina, you'll be welcomed aboard the catamaran and kick off proceedings with a refreshing drink. Set sail into the Atlantic Ocean and a marine biologist will introduce you to the characteristics of the whales and dolphins that live here.

Equipped with the knowledge of your expert guide, three-hours at sea will give you the best chance of seeing these playful creatures in their natural habitat. And when you're not gazing out at the water for signs of activity, you can enjoy a selection of drinks from the open bar, snacks, and weather permitting, a swim stop at Cabo Girao.

Madeira west coast tour with Cabo Girao and optional lunch in Porto Moniz

Madeira's magnificent scenery takes centre stage on this full day tour. You'll visit a selection of highlights including Cabo Girao Cliff and it's glass-floored platform, Porto Moniz and Paúl da Serra. Mariana, one of our expert local guides, says "you'll get to know the true drama of Madeira's landscapes. You might be lucky enough to see the ocean both to the north and the south, but the highest points on the island do sometimes catch the clouds."Your first destination will be the Cabao Girao Cliff, where you can step out onto its glass-floored platform that stretches out over the edge. The coastal views here are some of the best around, so don't forget your camera. Mariana adds, "the cliff is around 580 metres high, making it one of the tallest in Europe. The views from the skywalk are really something else, and its experience that'll stick with you." Then, you'll head to the coastal town of Riberia Brava, before a stroll through a banana plantation in Madalena do Mar.Next, we'll head up the 1,500m-high Paúl da Serra plateau before descending on Porto Moniz, famous for its natural lava rock swimming pools. A typical meal freshly prepared with local produce awaits in the village if you book the tour option that includes lunch. Rounding off the day is a poncha drink demonstration and tasting in Câmara de Lobos – a favourite holiday spot of Winston Churchill. Mariana says "be careful – poncha is so fruity and refreshing, but it hides a serious brandy kick." What is the itinerary for this experience?
