Details
Madeira is famous for being a meeting point for many species of cetaceans during their migrations. If you are intrigued by these fascinating creatures, join us on a cruise and enjoy both the landscape of the Pearl of the Atlantic, and its unique marine life.
Contemplate the amazing coastline of the Southwestern part of Madeira island, while our on-land spotter will be searching for wildlife and guiding our crew to the right location. If you feel like jumping from the boat to freshen up in the warm crystal clear waters of Madeira island, snorkeling equipment and bathing towels are provided on-board. Check out the local marine life and the rocky bottom. On our way back, we would love to hear about your adventure and your holidays while you sunbathe and relax with a fresh drink.
As wild animals, there is a risk that the cetaceans do not show up. Nevertheless, we are doing our best to offer you the best experience on our boat, and during the whole trip.
