Why you’ll love this…
  • Three-hour whale and dolphin-watching cruise from Madeira
  • Learn all about the species from a marine bioligist
  • Enjoy a refreshing swim stop at Cabo Girao
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.
