The waters around Madeira are home to a wide variety of cetaceans that can be seen throughout the year. This has made Madeira an increasingly popular destination for travelers hoping to see these amazing and intelligent animals up close. Inshore, bottlenose dolphins and sperm whales are the most common and can often be spotted from many of the island’s beautiful coastal paths. However, a short trip on one of Madeira Adventure Kingdom’s whale watching boats opens up a world of possibility.

Turtles and monk seals make their homes around the island, while sperm whales frequently visit the island’s waters. Occasionally, beaked whales, orcas, and other oceanic dolphins are spotted during their migration route. The most likely encounter, though, are common dolphins, which are spotted year-round in the waters around the island. Madeira Adventure Kingdom even offers the chance to swim with these amazing creatures, providing a completely unforgettable experience.

The sea always brings a sense of calm and joy; the sound of the waves and the singing of the birds make you feel like you could live in constant happiness. That is why these trips are a must if you wish to have amazing and lifetime experiences. You will have the opportunity to observe cetaceans in their natural habitat, swim with the dolphins, explore a desert island, and, with luck, watch one of the world’s most threatened seal species, the Mediterranean monk seal. These experiences are truly worth it.
