What to expect

Join this whale-watching tour one of the last vessels of its kind and discover Madeira's marine fauna!

Enjoy a calm and relaxing trip while you observe whales and dolphins in their natural environment. This traditional wooden fishing boat was lovingly restored down to the smallest detail. This old-school masterpiece is currently the only boat of its kind in Madeira and is still equipped with its original sail.

This is a respectful whale-watching tour, so be aware that you'll be the guests out there. Your guide will not only show you whales and dolphins in their natural environment but also explain interesting facts about them and their habitat.

With the Atlantic Ocean at your feet and a light salty breeze on your face, you'll go out to wherever your spotter guides you.

Levada da Silveira four-hour hiking tour
Activities

Levada da Silveira four-hour hiking tour

Follow the smell of eucalyptus and wild herbs as you hike along the Levada da Silveira. As you walk the 9.5-kilometre trail, you'll be rewarded with a canopy of greenery in the Laurissilva Forest before the path opens out onto views over the town of Santana. Other hikes on the island offer big, busy, dramatic experiences, but this levada is all about the cool, calm and more subtle side of the island, with fewer crowds jostling for the same view. It's a moderate trail that takes around four hours and is ideal if you're a nature lover who's happy with heights and a short tunnel section.

Activities

Madeira south coast catamaran cruise at sunset

Your evening starts at Funchal's waterfront as you step onto a catamaran for a sunset cruise along Madeira's south coast. As the boat glides through the water, you'll pass rocky headlands, sea caves and pockets of golden sand. With no more than 18 people on board, drinks in hand and around two and a half hours at sea, you can unwind, enjoy the sky's shifting colours and keep an eye out for dolphins as the sun sinks towards the horizon.
