Madeira
As if the unparalleled landscapes revealed in every corner of Madeira weren't enough, the archipelago's crystal-clear waters are also home to a vibrant world. This sea, which reaches 3000 meters in some places, is home to an extremely rich fauna, making Dolphin and Whale Watching in Madeira one of the most popular activities in the archipelago. Are you sure you want to stay on land? While enjoying a relaxing boat ride, you may come across a lively group of dolphins or catch a glimpse of whales. Whale watching in Madeira also allows you to see turtles and visit the Desertas Islands' small colony of Mediterranean monk seals.
Whale Watching in Madeira is a year-round activity due to the island's privileged location, and you can also take advantage of this tranquil boat trip to take a relaxing dip in the always pleasant and inviting waters off the coast. Set out on a whale-watching adventure in Madeira and create unforgettable memories! Every year, a large number of whales pass through Madeira. According to research, 28 of the 78 known species can be found on this island, ranging from various dolphin species to great blue whales. The arrival of the Fin and Sei whales on the island in 2003 increased Madeira's popularity. Fortunately, the government is taking steps to protect them from over tourism. Swimming with dolphins, for example, is only permitted with three species. There are tours available in the morning, afternoon, and at sunset. There is no optimal time to see dolphins and whales. The chances of seeing a whale are slim, but the chances of seeing dolphins are very high all day.
