Experience overview

Enjoy a memorable 3-hour catamaran cruise along Madeira's beautiful coast, with the chance to see dolphins, whales, and other marine wildlife in their natural habitat. Departing from Funchal Marina, Pier 8, this scenic ocean adventure combines wildlife watching with breathtaking coastal views. As the catamaran travels about 5 to 6 miles offshore, the crew will search the surrounding waters for cetaceans. Watch for playful dolphins swimming through the waves, and keep an eye out for whales that may appear during the journey. Depending on the conditions and wildlife activity, you may also spot sea turtles and a variety of seabirds. An onboard bar is available at your own expense, allowing you to purchase drinks and snacks during the cruise. When weather and sea conditions permit, the catamaran will stop for a refreshing swim near Faja do Cabo Girao. Afterward, enjoy a scenic return along Madeira's coastline toward Funchal. Book this Madeira shore excursion today for a memorable day out at sea. Please Note: Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, as animals are wild and sightings depend on natural conditions and animal behavior. Refunds are only provided if the trip is canceled due to adverse weather conditions and do not apply if wildlife is not sighted. The boat has restrooms and covered areas for protection from the sun and rain. Check-in is mandatory 30 minutes before each trip.
