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.

We had a fantastic time. The three crew members were outstanding. The drinks and snacks were most welcome and the craft was exceptional. The fact that the trip only took 17 people was a huge bonus. The knowledge of the crew was fantastic and we managed to spot dolphins and a loggerhead turtle.

Madeira Monte Palace Tropical Gardens with optional toboggan ride

The Monte Palace Tropical Gardens float a thousand metres above Funchal, so breathe deeply and enjoy the fresh mountain air on this half-day tour. You'll begin with a visit to the village of Monte, before heading to the main event – 70,000 square metres of themed gardens, sculptures, wildlife and water features.There's something new around every corner of this sprawling garden. Head to the lake to see koi carp, a waterfall and swans paddling by, stroll through the forested area to appreciate Madeira's native plants and make sure you visit the Japanese and Oriental gardens for intricate bridges, Buddha statues and incredible city views from the pagoda. There're also paths you can follow to see hundreds of sculptures and traditional azulejo – intricately painted ceramic tiles that tell the story of Portugal's history and culture. In Monte village, you'll have the option to pick up the pace with an experience that screams Madeira – a ride back down the hill in a wicker toboggan. It's the traditional way down and quite an adrenaline rush. The toboggan ride is an added cost, but if you choose not to take it, you'll enjoy a slower, yet equally scenic route down the mountain and back to your hotel.

Madeira, gita in barca a vela Happy Hour di mezza giornata con open bar

Salpando dal porto turistico di Funchal, ammirerete le impressionanti vedute della costa meridionale di Madeira mentre vi servite dell'open bar. Osservate come, nel corso delle tre ore di navigazione, il terreno cambia da drammatiche scogliere e formazioni rocciose vulcaniche a tranquilli villaggi di pescatori e alle palme ombrose delle fattorie di banane dell'isola. Lo skipper getterà l'ancora per permettervi di nuotare e fare snorkeling nelle miti acque dell'Oceano Atlantico. Inoltre, è possibile tenere d'occhio balene e delfini, poiché si tratta di un luogo popolare per il loro avvistamento.
