What to expect

Join this whale-watching tour one of the last vessels of its kind and discover Madeira's marine fauna!

Enjoy a calm and relaxing trip while you observe whales and dolphins in their natural environment. This traditional wooden fishing boat was lovingly restored down to the smallest detail. This old-school masterpiece is currently the only boat of its kind in Madeira and is still equipped with its original sail.

This is a respectful whale-watching tour, so be aware that you'll be the guests out there. Your guide will not only show you whales and dolphins in their natural environment but also explain interesting facts about them and their habitat.

With the Atlantic Ocean at your feet and a light salty breeze on your face, you'll go out to wherever your spotter guides you.
