Experience snorkelling with whales and dolphins in Madeira. Visit their natural habitat on a boat leaving from Funchal, and have an amazing time!

Live out an incredible fantasy as you ride a boat out into the Atlantic Ocean, and jump into the water to snorkel along with the whales and dolphins of Madeira Island!

Ventura Nature Emotions offers you an excursion where you can snorkel surrounded by all the marine species that the island has to offer, not just whales and dolphins, but also sea turtles and an incredible diversity of fish.

Your whale and dolphin watching excursion around Madeira will start in Funchal with an educational briefing where the guides will explain all the necessary information for the excursion and all the safety rules you need to follow. Then you'll set off on your whale and dolphin-watching tour from Funchal! You will have the help of spotters from land to increase your chances of seeing as many species as possible and your guides will approach them, see how they react to human contact, and tell you if it's safe for you to dive into the water with them!

Since it is possible that the animals are scared or that they are simply not there (because they are wild animals and act accordingly), only if your snorkelling excursion around Madeira is successful, and you get to swim with whales and/or dolphins, you will have to pay an additional fee to your instructor of 20€ per person.

With this in mind, don't hesitate to book a snorkelling adventure with whales and dolphins from Funchal, in Madeira! At worst you'll get an incredible boat ride that will show you the gorgeous landscapes of the island, and at best you'll get to swim with dolphins and/or whales. There's definitely no downside.
