Speed boat whale watching tour in Madeira
Step aboard Stenella, our modern and comfortable RIB vessel, designed for speed and stability while providing an exciting whale watching experience.
With expert crew and marine biologists on board, this adventure takes you into the heart of Madeira’s waters for unforgettable encounters with whales and dolphins.
What to expect:
- Whale and dolphin watching with marine biologists on board,
- Tours guided in English and German,
- Fast and stable RIB for an adventurous ride along Madeira’s coastline,
- Close-up views of marine life in their natural habitat.
Requirements:
- Suitable for children aged 5 and older (children must be accompanied by an adult),
- Please bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), water and a jacket for cooler weather at sea.
Sightings can’t be guaranteed:
Whales and dolphins are wild and free. To increase your chances, we work with trained spotters on land, but nature follows its own rhythm. Our goal is to offer a responsible, relaxed and enriching experience – always in harmony with the animals. Refunds for “no sightings” tours are not available.

We know it might seem unusual not to offer financial refunds if no whales or dolphins are seen. The reason is simple: we prioritize the well-being of the animals. Promising sightings or offering refunds based on them would create pressure on wildlife, which goes against our responsible approach to marine conservation.
When you join a tour with us, you are paying for much more than a chance to see whales and dolphins. Your ticket covers our expertise, safe and well-equipped boats, professional crew, fuel, and all the planning and care that make your journey on the sea possible. Most of our tours do result in amazing sightings, but wildlife is unpredictable.
Even if no animals appear, we are committed to giving you a wonderful experience, with breathtaking views of Madeira from the water and the chance to enjoy nature in its purest form.
