Responsible Whales and/or Dolphins Watching Tour

We had an amazing dolphin watching tour! A huge thank you to skipper Vlad, who navigated with great skill and made the ride a truly exciting adventure. Marine biologist Horst was fantastic. He answered all of our questions and shared fascinating insights about both the dolphins and the island. Seeing the dolphins up close while learning so much was simply incredible. Highly recommended!

Blue Safari Madeira is definitely the best choice in Madeira if you want to go whale and dolphin watching! 🐬💙 From the very beginning, the whole team was incredibly friendly, professional and passionate. They made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire trip, while also sharing lots of interesting information about the marine life and the animals we encountered. Seeing the dolphins swimming freely alongside the boat was truly magical and an unforgettable experience. 🌊🐬 A huge thank you to the amazing Blue Safari team for making this experience so special! We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better way to discover Madeira from the ocean. Highly recommended! ⭐️

Tour guide and Skipper were awesome and they were very respectful towards the animals. In fact it was so amazing that we booked the same tour twice

Very beautiful experience with Rose and Francesco. Dolphins and a whale honored us with their presence. Lots of explanations, kindness, and professionalism. Besides the observation, a beautiful two-hour boat ride. 100% recommended.

Today we went on a whale & dolphin watching tour with Blue Safari Madeira – and what an experience! Our guide explained everything competently and in several languages, so that everyone on board could really take something away. The entire team on board was warm, helpful, and professional through and through. We were particularly impressed by how seriously the respectful treatment of the animals was taken: The rules of conduct for wildlife observation were explained in detail – and, more importantly, consistently followed. No rushing, no harassing the animals, just calm, responsible observation from a respectful distance. Exactly the kind of sustainable wildlife tourism one hopes for. And the sightings were spectacular! We were able to experience several species in the wild: 🐋 Bryde's whale – one of the few baleen whales that live year-round in tropical/subtropical waters, here off Madeira. 🐬 Common bottlenose dolphin – playful and curious, one of the most intelligent animal species of all, fascinating to observe in their behavior in the ocean. 🐬 Atlantic spotted dolphin – fast, acrobatic swimmers that accompanied us for several minutes and even drew attention to themselves next to the boat with small jumps. An afternoon full of awe for nature, completely stress-free for the animals – this is exactly how whale watching should look. Absolute recommendation for everyone visiting Madeira! 🌊 #Madeira #WhaleWatching #BlueSafariMadeira #MarineConservation #Funchal

A really great and sustainable tour. Were able to see a sei whale and various dolphin species. Absolute recommendation

The boat was comfortable. Guide knowledgable and spoke English, French, German, Portuguese and Dutch I think? Captain gave a great safe, thrilling ride.

This was a great experience - we saw a pod of dolphins and amazing beaked whales. The small boat meant that we were really close to the water and the whales could come right up to us. The crew were very knowledgeable and passionate and clearly had huge respect for the animals. Really enjoyed it!

Good and energetic team. Camila is a brilliant guide. She really loves these animals - this leaves the very warm feeling. We saw 3 different groups of dolphins, but the whale was too stressed to go up to the surface, so we missed it :( next time

Camilla is a very approachable, passionate and knowledgeable guide. Very good for all levels (adults and children)! The only criticism was that TripAdvisor didn't give great instructions on location. A picture of the nearest location to the dock would have helped.
