Why you’ll love this…
  • Three-hour whale and dolphin-watching cruise from Madeira
  • Learn all about the species from a marine bioligist
  • Enjoy a refreshing swim stop at Cabo Girao
What to expect

Teeming with marine life, Madeira's warm waters are the ideal place to combine a whale and dolphin-watching trip with all the little luxuries of a VIP cruise. You'll have three-hours at sea to enjoy an open bar, snacks and a swim stop, alongside a talk by a marine biologist to learn about which species you might see and how to spot them.

After arriving at Funchal marina, you'll be welcomed aboard the catamaran and kick off proceedings with a refreshing drink. Set sail into the Atlantic Ocean and a marine biologist will introduce you to the characteristics of the whales and dolphins that live here.

Equipped with the knowledge of your expert guide, three-hours at sea will give you the best chance of seeing these playful creatures in their natural habitat. And when you're not gazing out at the water for signs of activity, you can enjoy a selection of drinks from the open bar, snacks, and weather permitting, a swim stop at Cabo Girao.

    Hätte nicht besser sein können, tolle authentische und sehr aufmerksame Crew. Delphine und Wale respektvoll beobachten dürfen. Mit nur 17 Gästen war es sehr entspannt, es gab leckere Häppchen und Getränke. Würde ich jederzeit herzlichst empfehlen

    Travelled with a group of friends

    Insgesamt eine schöne Tour . Schönes sauberes modernes Boot . Der Service war sehr gut , es gab immer wieder kleinere Snacks und Drinks, sogar an den Platz serviert . Wir waren im September dort und wir waren nur 17 Leute auf dem Boot , somit war es total entspannt und wir hatten Platz ohne Ende. Ausgebucht wären es wohl ca. 30 Leute , aber auch die hätten Platz. Wale und Delfine haben wir leider nicht gesehen, schade, aber da muss man natürlich auch mit rechnen!!

Nat Geo Day Tour: Esperienza in una fattoria locale sulle colline terrazzate di Madeira

Attraversa la vivace città di Funchal e le magnifiche colline di Madeira verso Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, una piccola fattoria impegnata nell'agricoltura sostenibile. Qui, la tua guida qualificata di National Geographic ti offrirà approfondimenti sulla regione e ti presenterà il proprietario della fattoria, Bruno Santos. Dopo aver lasciato la contabilità per l'agricoltura, Bruno ora dedica la sua vita ad aiutare il suo quartiere con l'agricoltura sostenibile, il minimo impatto ambientale e la sensibilizzazione della comunità. Segui Bruno attraverso i boschetti in fiore mentre esplori i terreni. Imparerai i numerosi usi delle loro erbe fresche e visiterai la loro piantagione di fragole. Osserva i campi e i poios, come i maderensi chiamano le aree terrazzate dove coltivano i loro raccolti, mentre impari a conoscere i prodotti e l'allevamento della fattoria. La fattoria ospita vari animali tra cui polli, capre, pecore e altro ancora. C'è persino un piccolo mercato creato da Bruno, per aiutare altri venditori locali a raggiungere una comunità più ampia, ispirato dal mantra "acquista locale". Potrai anche sperimentare una serie di attività stagionali, offerte esclusivamente ai viaggiatori di National Geographic. Raccogli frutti maturi e impara le tecnichegiuste per la semina in un laboratorio. Questo ambiente di apprendimento pratico dà vita alla filosofia di sostenibilità e bio-compatibilità di Bruno. Dopodiché, ti rilasserai e ti godrai un tè rinfrescante preparato con le erbe della fattoria, torte fatte in casa, toast e marmellate preparate con frutta locale.
