H2O Madeira

H2O Madeira offers whale and dolphin watching tours along the island’s south coast, departing from Calheta Marina. Madeira is considered one of Europe’s best regions for observing whales and dolphins in the wild, with tours typically lasting around two hours. A key feature of the experience is the cooperation with a land-based spotter, who helps guide the boats directly to the animals. Tours are accompanied by an experienced crew, sharing insights into Madeira’s marine life while ensuring respectful interaction with the animals. Modern and fast RIB boats are used, providing good visibility and close yet responsible encounters with the animals. Depending on conditions, the trip can be extended with an additional experience: swimming with dolphins, where guests enter the open ocean equipped with snorkelling gear. In addition to regular tours, H2O Madeira also offers private charter trips, suitable for families, groups, or special occasions. A memorable experience for anyone looking to discover Madeira’s marine life from the sea.
