Detailed Description


The Atlantic Ocean around Madeira Islands can be biologically and geographically considered blissful for marine mammals, as 20 species of cetaceans have been identified in these waters, which means roughly one quarter of the entire world's species. Though almost all these species use Madeira Sea as passage point, feeding area or sometimes for giving birth to its calves we see them all year around.
The main aim of Madeira Wind Birds dolphin and whale watching/swimming trips is to establish a connection between you and these magnificent animals in their natural habitat but you will also experience scenic highlights of Madeira and it's surrounding islands and the enthusiasm of bird watching.
swimming with dolphins in madeira
The adventure starts immediately after leaving the marina, looking for feeding frenzy involving seabirds, whales and dolphins or for just a school of dolphins willing to play around the boat. Wherever the most exciting activity with cetaceans is, we will find it for you.
Depending on time and weather there will be a chance to swim and snorkel on a wonderful bay in Ponta de São Lourenço, where you can try the crystalline water of this Nature Reserve or, before that, if dolphins invite, i.e. depending on their behavior you can swim with dolphins for no extra cost.

Cetaceans previously observed during this trip:
Dolphins (Common dolphin, Bridled dolphin, Striped dolphin, Bottle-nose Dolphin).
Whales (Short-finned Pilot Whale, Sperm whale, Fin whale).
