Whale and Dolphin Watching in Calheta, Madeira Island
Overview
Inclusions
- Driver/guide
- Live commentary on board
- Local guide
What to expect
Madeira’s favourable location allows us to cross paths with a great variety of cetaceans. As the majority of these animals are migratory, their coordinates are always different. It is up to our Spotter on land to locate them with the help of binoculars & inform our crew, allowing a gentle approach & close encounters. Our RIB Boat allows us to act quickly, which not only provides higher chances to see cetaceans but also we have more time to keep on searching for other species. Our goal is to show you as much as possible from what nature has to offer!

An amazing trip out, we saw Fin Whales and a Humpback Whale. The guides were knowledgeable and great at helping us spot the whales from a distance. I would not hesitate to book again!

We enjoyed an amazing couple of hours out at sea. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, providing information about the wildlife we were hoping to see. We were not disappointed, we encountered three different groups of dolphins, the first group of about 20 playing around the boat for about 10 minutes. This allowed us to see them swim and dive around the boat, it was a breath taking experience. We'd asked if we could consider swimming along side the boat, Sarah, provided us with a comprehensive briefing, but sadly due to a variety of reasons it wasn't possible during the trip. If we come back to Madeira I'll definitely be booking again with H2o Madeira. Thanks for a memorable afternoon 🙂Wonderful experience to be so close to so many Spotted Dolphins. A few interesting birds around too. Friendly & knowledgeable crew. Well worth it!

We were very impressed that the trip lasted longer than we were expecting which was great. The boat was comfortable and fun to be on. We had lots of time to spend watching the whales.The best ever company for living such a unique experience!!!

The best ever company for living such a unique experience!!! We took the dolphins tour twice (on 2 consecutive days at different times with 2 different captains) and both sessions were UNIQUE, REMARKABLE and SUPER EXCITING! H2O Madeira would definitely be one of the reasons to return to Madeira Island!!! The team are experts who know EVERYTHING about marine life in the Atlantic Ocean around Madeira.
