Dolphin Encounter in Madeira

Make the most of your time on Madeira Island enjoying the unique and unforgettable experience of swimming with dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean.

Dolphin Encounter in Madeira

At the agreed time we’ll meet at Do Mar Avenue, and we'll begin our experience: swimming with dolphins off the coast of Madeira. We’ll start by boarding a boat that will take us out to sea to one of the locations known for the large number of dolphins that congregate there. As we sail on the Atlantic Ocean, the guide will provide information about the life of marine mammals in the waters around the Portuguese island.

Once we reach the perfect spot, we will stop the engine and wait for the dolphins to start appearing around the boat. Then it's time to swim with them! In small groups, we will enter the water holding on to a rope attached to the boat, using snorkeling gear provided. Safely treading water, we will enjoy swimming alongside dolphins. After the activity, we will return to the original meeting point, concluding the tour approximately 2 hours later.

Dolphin Sightings

Madeira Island's natural environment facilitates swimming with dolphins and other marine animals. However, dolphin sightings can be unpredictable, influenced by factors such as weather, sea currents, winds, and breeding seasons. To preserve the natural habitat, we cannot guarantee that every swimming experience will occur in the open sea, although in 90% of cases, swimming with dolphins does happen.

Important

Please note that swimming with dolphins is sometimes not allowed.
