Description
Join us for an ocean adventure as we head offshore exploring for whales, dolphins, sea turtles and oceanic birds in their natural environment. Completely rebuilt in 2023 the Sea Safari is powered by two brand new 250hp engines, so you can expect to cover a greater distance than any other boat in Funchal. Double cushioned seats ensure a comfortable adventure with amazing 360° views while you enjoy the best opportunity to see marine wildlife.
Our team of cetacean spotters use powerful binoculars from land to find the dolphins & whales and then sends the Sea Safari directly to them. The speed boat sits low on the water so you feel very close to the whales and dolphins, but remember, it is wildlife, and the primary goal is to be respectful of their habitat.
Listen to informative commentary about the cetaceans of Madeira, as your captain and marine biologist guide make sure you have a great time whilst learning about the marine wildlife, marine environment and ecosystem.
This trip is dedicated to encountering whales, groups of dolphins, sea turtles and oceanic birds. We love to share these marine wildlife adventures and our observations with you while we explore offshore Madeira and its amazing biodiversity.
