Description

Experience Madeira’s coastline on a fast and exciting speedboat adventure from Funchal Marina, designed for travelers who want a closer and more dynamic whale and dolphin watching experience.

This 2-hour small-group tour takes place on a powerful RIB speedboat, allowing you to cover more ocean in less time and increase your chances of spotting dolphins, whales and other marine life. With fewer passengers than larger boats, the experience feels more personal, immersive and thrilling.

If sea conditions and animal behaviour allow, there may be an opportunity to enter the water with dolphins. Your crew follows strict wildlife-respect guidelines to ensure a responsible and safe experience.
