What to expect

Are you ready for a whale and dolphin watching experience that goes beyond sightseeing?
Join us aboard Blue Safari, a custom-built, high-speed vessel designed specifically for small groups seeking a close, respectful, and meaningful encounter with Madeira’s incredible marine wildlife.

Unlike large tourist boats, we limit the number of guests onboard to ensure comfort, exclusivity, and a more personal connection with nature—while minimizing our impact on the animals and their environment. But this is not just any tour. At Blue Safari Madeira, we are a responsible company deeply committed to marine conservation and scientific research. Our tours are conducted in collaboration with marine biologists and local researchers to monitor the behavior, migration, and health of the cetaceans we encounter.

Madeira is one of the best locations in the world for observing whales and dolphins, with over 20 species recorded in its waters.

Every tour is led by an experienced crew trained in marine wildlife observation and safety. Step aboard, and let the adventure begin.

After 2 hours out at sea you’ll return back to the pier.
