Whale watching in southwest Madeira aboard one of Madeira’s last traditional vessels, blending heritage, comfort, and respectful wildlife observation.
Step aboard Ribeira Brava, a traditional wooden fishing boat lovingly restored down to the smallest detail, and the only one of its kind still sailing in Madeira.
With her original sail preserved as part of her historic design, this old-school masterpiece now takes you on unforgettable whale watching tours.
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.
