About the activity

Have you ever dreamed of spotting whales and dolphins? This dream can come true with this exciting excursion on a yacht departing from Calheta!

If you are staying on Madeira Island, come and join On Tales on this shared group tour, Madeira’s #1 rated tour on TripAdvisor, to try to spot marine wildlife while enjoying the South west coastline of the island. OnTales has a strong focus on sustainability (Blue Flag since 2019) and deep respect for the animals.

Setting sail from Calheta, you will board a comfortable yacht limited to just 12 passengers to ensure an intimate, safe, and premium experience. As the yacht cruises into the Atlantic Ocean, you will have the perfect vantage point to admire Madeira’s rugged shores while keeping an eye out for dolphins and whales. Our passionate guides will help you spot these magnificent creatures and share fascinating insights and anecdotes about their lives in the wild.

The adventure also includes an opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear Atlantic. If you wish, you can jump straight from the boat near the shore. While Madeira’s volcanic coast drops off into deep waters quickly, the ocean remains inviting year-round. Temperatures range from a mild 17–18°C in the winter (November to March) to a tropical 25–26°C at the peak of summer (July and August), ensuring a comfortable dip no matter the season.

For those who prefer to stay dry, you can remain on board to sunbathe, relax, and enjoy a refreshing drink.

Don't miss out: embark on this unforgettable whale and dolphin watching yacht tour from Calheta today!
