Overview

Whale and dolphin watching boat trip from Machico city in Madeira Island on the most wild part of the Island. Possible to swim with dolphins under certain conditions with comum and spotted dolphins only. Marine Biologist specialized on Cetaceans on board during all the trips. We talk about wild life where we do not have any control but we do all we know and experience to find them but when we do not succeed, we just give a second change to go out with us without any extra charge. On this matter we know your investment is always a good investment.
