This private dolphin and whale watching boat tour departs from the port of Calheta near Funchal, Madeira. The tour lasts approximately two and a half hours aboard one of two yachts: the Miranda, which accommodates up to five guests, or the Gringo, which holds up to twelve. A professional two-person crew operates the yacht, and a spotter on land helps locate local dolphin and whale species. During the tour, guests may enjoy sparkling wine and light refreshments such as mineral water, soft drinks, and local beer. Depending on weather conditions, the tour may include sailing along the Madeira coast, swimming with snorkeling gear provided on board, or relaxing on deck with blankets, cabin access, and toilet facilities. A shower is available for use after swimming. Evening departures focus on sunset views with sparkling wine and snorkeling but do not include whale watching. Transfers from hotels in Funchal can be arranged for an additional fee. The yacht is not wheelchair accessible and has weight restrictions for guests. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and pregnant women should consult a doctor before booking. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
