What to expect

Join this experience and discover the Madeiran sealife. On this boat tour from Calheta, you'll have the opportunity to observe cetaceans with a team of multilingual guides.

Madeira’s favorable location will allow you to cross areas with a wide variety of cetaceans. As the majority of these species are migratory, their coordinates are always different. Your expert spotter on land will take care of catching sight of them with the help of binoculars and will inform your crew, allowing a gentle approach and a close encounter.

Accompanied by an expert team of multilingual guides on board, you'll observe the whales and dolphins of the area while you learn more about the sea life in Madeira island. On your way, you'll probably have the chance to see other marine species in their own habitat!
