Detailed Description

This is a dedicated trip to swim with wild dolphins in the open ocean, which means that you will only be taken to the ocean if sea conditions are favourable and if our spotters have dolphins in sight, so that we can nearly (almost 100%) guarantee your memorable experience with these cetaceans.

Enjoy a lifetime experience by becoming a member of a dolphin’s pod! Swim freely next to these amazing creatures, look them in the eye and feel its natural grace and curiosity!

We operate mainly around the Southeast of Madeira where there are less touristy boats, therefore maximizing our experience with the dolphins and minimizing the impact and disturbance on marine wildlife.

Sea water around Madeira is in average, between 19ºC by April and 24ºC by early September, so a swimsuit is enough but you are free to bring your neopren suit if you wish.

We only allow good swimmers and children over 8 years old to swim with dolphins. People who wish to accompany swimmers but just want to watch can join us by 40 EUR per person, depending on availability.

We need a minimum of 4 swimmers booked to run the trip though they do not need to be from the same booking/party. This way we recommend you to book in advance so that we can count on you and concentrate our efforts attracting more bookings to the trip you booked and make it viable.
