On the coast of Madeira Island, if you are interested in marine life, you can admire many different species such as whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and an immense diversity of fish. Madeira is a perfect place of convergence for all of these creatures due to the ocean currents that pass close to the island. Being at sea, surrounded by all the natural beauties of the Atlantic Ocean and the breathtaking views of the island's coastline is what's in store for you when you book this whale and dolphin-watching tour around Madeira.

Ventura Nature Emotions offers you a whale and dolphin-watching excursion around Madeira, where you will be able to observe a lot of the marine species that the island is home to. The experience will start in Funchal, with an educational briefing where the guides will explain all the necessary information about what you are going to see and where you are going to go, and all the safety rules you need to follow.

Then, your whale and dolphin-watching tour around Madeira will begin! You will have the help of spotters from land that will increase your chances of seeing as many species as possible. Madeira is home to 28 recorded species of cetaceans, and the most common ones, that you'll probably get to see on your tour, are the common, spotted, bottlenose dolphin, and striped dolphins; and the pilot, fin, Bryde's, and sperm whales. You will have the chance to see between 1 and 4 species during the 2 and a half hours that you'll be on the boat!
