      What you can expect

      Welcome aboard a thrill-full and nature involved experience.

      Our boat takes you to the amazing panoramic seaside view of Madeira, with a very high chance of finding wild living Dolphins, Whales and even sometimes Turtles!

      The trip consists of the following:

      Preparation and boarding the boat, briefing and lifejacket donning.
      Leaving Funchal's harbour towards the open ocean, at all times in amazing view of the islands coastline.

      Search for Wildlife can be a game of patience and luck, though we have had a yearly average of 99% of trips with successful sightings of at least one cetacean species.

      If you have booked the “Swim with Dolphins” (20€ option/add-on), if the animals are behaving in a certain manner as per local animal protection law, we will be able to place you in the water, attached to the Boat for a short swim/snorkel with the dolphins. Therefore we have a mask and snorkel available for you. The time in the water will in most cases just be around 1-2 minutes per participant. Additionally we are only allowed by law to enter the water if we spot - Common Dolphins or Atlantic Spotted Dolphins.

      After no less than 2:00 Hours out on the boat (over average time for this trips), we will head back to the marina of Funchal to disembark.

      In case that during your trip there is no sighting of any cetacean species, we will invite you to join another trip free of charge within 1 year time. (as long as availability allows/non-transfearable)

      Swim with Dolphins - With this option you are booking the add-on option. The price of 20€/participant will only be charged on-site if it was possible to enter the water with the animals. otherwise you will just be charged the standard trip price!

      Private Tour - If you choose to book your own private boat, you may bring as many as 18 passengers along! What better option is there to enjoy a family or friends trip in privacy.
