Whale and dolphin watching by RIB in Calheta, Madeira. Land spotters, live English commentary, small groups, 2 hours.

“First, the team is super nice! They really do care about the animal protection and I never felt like I’m doing sth wrong being a tourist using a boat to get watch dolphins. The tour was stunning, we got to see different groups of dolphins and other animals, unfortunately no whales but that’s not to expect if ur not visiting a zoo. That’s nature. I really loved that trip and would highly recommend it!”

Lunch was not included in the pricing but an option was provided which all guests accepted (Taskinha Da Calheta Prazeres ) and it was by far the best touring meal we have had. The jeep massages on the back roads were great and we were well entertained by Lino’s wealth of information, humor and great attitude.”
