Whale & Dolphin Watching Catamaran Cruise Itinerary

After meeting at Funchal Marina at the scheduled time, you'll board your catamaran to sail the southern coast of Madeira. During the three-hour cruise, you will learn about the diverse marine species in the area from your English-speaking guide.

From the deck of the catamaran, you'll look for whales and dolphins swimming near the boat, with the possibility of seeing dolphins jumping. Species you might spot include the blue whale, sperm whale, and short-finned pilot whale.

In addition to observing the fauna, you'll enjoy views of the island's mountainous landscape from the sea.
