Itinerary
Cruise on our 2022 purpose-built Eco-friendly catamaran and enjoy a comfortable tour along the southern coast of Madeira Island. Our spotters on land use binoculars to find the animals and direct the boat right to them. When sea life arrives our hybrid-electric engines engage for silent emission free cruising which helps keep the cetaceans very happy! Our certified guides will provide you with informative commentary and fun facts about the cetaceans and different species that you may see. On our way back, we sail close to the coast passing by many points of interest that may include: • Cabo Girão - the 2nd highest sea cliff in the world (time permitting you can go for a quick swim) • Camara de Lobos Bay – a traditional fishing village • World famous Reid’s Hotel where Winston Churchill and high profile celebs stayed during visits to Madeira Island • Enjoy views of our paradise island in comfort and style
