Come whale and dolphin-watching in Madeira! You'll have the chance to see different species through the crystal-clear waters of this stunning Portuguese island.

Explore the beautiful ocean and get to know some incredible marine species on this whale and dolphin-watching catamaran tour around Madeira!

This Portuguese island is located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Morocco. Its position is a strategic point for cetacean sightings since there are several species that live around the area and others that pass through it year-round, so the likelihood of your whale and dolphin-watching expedition from Funchal being successful is very high!

The crew at Seaborn Catamaran is very experienced in taking visitors on whale and dolphin-watching tours around Madeira, so you'll be accompanied by true experts as you sail the sea and look for these wonderful animals. Your guide will welcome you at their offices in Funchal's Marina, check you in, and exchange your ticket for a boarding card. Then, they'll explain a few safety rules that you must follow, and tell you about the activity you are about to take part in.

Once all of that is over, it's time to embark on the catamaran! You'll set off on a search for whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and even monk seals. Your guide on this whale and dolphin-watching excursion in Madeira will tell you about each species that you see and you'll be able to get very close to them, but always staying on the boat. It is important to remark that these are wild animals and cannot be controlled, so there is always a possibility that you won't be able to see them. However, with your expert instructors, and the great ocean conditions in Madeira, it is likely that you'll get at least a few sightings!

And on summer trips, you'll even get to go under Gabo Girao's cliffs, and dive into the water! It will be an unforgettable experience where you will not only learn about the incredible marine life in Madeira, but you'll also get to see panoramic views of this beautiful island. There's no downside!

So, don't hesitate and book your whale and dolphin-watching catamaran tour in Madeira, from Funchal, and enjoy a few hours of fun on a boat as you search for some of the most impressive wildlife in the world! You won't regret it.
