General information
Deal overview
Yes, you read that right. Here we are not in favor of keeping animals caged, limiting their freedom. We preferto visit them in their territory, at a prudent and respectful distance. Are you ready for this 2 and a half hour adventure?
During this cetacean watching tour from Funchal, you can enjoy explanations from our marine biologists with your family or friends. We recommend that you come with comfortable clothes and shoes that can get wet, jacket, towel, bathing suit, sunscreen and bottle of water.
The best part comes when we find the best spot to swim with dolphins. We will provide you with the necessary snorkel equipment and explain how the activity works, in which you will swim attached to the boat and be able to see these wonderful animals up close, which will probably swim alongside you.
*This activity depends on sea conditions and the species observed, as it can only be carried out with spotted dolphins and common dolphins.
