Let your spirits soar on this extraordinary educational adventure and join a 3-hour whale-watching and dolphin-spotting excursion. Gliding on mesmerizing azure waters, sit back and relax to witness some of the ocean's most playful, intelligent, and majestic creatures.

Embark off the coast of Funchal to seek out the world's largest mammals in their natural habitat. Catch a glimpse of the stunning coastline, bustling fishing villages, and dramatic cliffs as you listen for the sounds of giant whales and cavorting dolphins.

Just a few miles off the coast are known areas where bottlenose, Atlantic spotted, and short-beaked dolphins like to gather. If you're lucky you may also spot species like Risso's and striped dolphins. From there, your boat heads into deeper waters to where Bryde's, short-finned Pilot, and sperm whales can be sighted. If luck is on your side, see the giant humpback whale, a blue whale, or even a false killer whale.

Watch as these remarkable creatures search for food in the Atlantic waters, surfacing for air and making big splashes with their tails. As you ready your camera for the perfect shot, enjoy the glowing Portuguese sunshine on deck of the traditional wooden ship Bonita da Madeira.
