A sea safari boat rebuilt with big engines to cover more water than the Funchal fleet, with cushioned seats, land spotters and a local guide looking for whales, dolphins, turtles and seabirds. No pickup, no food and no high heels on board. 4.74 from 370 reviews at €50 per person.
Join us for an ocean adventure as we head offshore exploring for whales, dolphins, sea turtles and oceanic birds in their natural environment.
Completely rebuilt in 2023 the Sea Safari is powered by two brand new 250hp engines, so you can expect to cover a greater distance than any other boat in Funchal.
Double cushioned seats ensure a comfortable adventure with amazing 360° views while you enjoy the best opportunity to see marine wildlife.
Our team of spotters on land use powerful binoculars to find the dolphins & whales and then sends the boat directly to them.
The boat sits low on the water so you feel very close to the whales and dolphins, but remember, it is wildlife, and the primary goal is to be respectful of their habitat.
Listen to informative commentary about the cetaceans of Madeira, as your captain and marine biologist guide make sure you have a great time whilst learning about the marine wildlife, marine environment and ecosystem.
