4.Porto Moniz: Diving with Sharks and Rays in Madeira Aquarium

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 192 reviews · 3 hours · from $159

Scuba in Madeira Aquarium’s main tank in Porto Moniz, with a natural pool warm-up, guided aquarium tour, and up-close mantas, rays, and sharks.

“What an experience! I cannot thank Abílio enough for his knowledge and calm nature. Starts with a tour of the aquarium and all the species of fish and crustaceans. Also, how the water is filtered and they keep the animals happy behind the scenes. We had experience diving before, so went in the tank straight away but you can get a feel for the equipment and find your balance in the natural pools before the tank if necessary. Abílio's english was perfect and explained everything really well. Such a special birthday present. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Madeira!”
