Rota dos Cetáceos

Based in Funchal since 2007, Rota dos Cetáceos is specialized in the observation of dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. It has focused on providing safe, educational, and environmentally responsible experiences grounded in nature conservation and respect for marine ecosystems.

All excursions are accompanied by a team of professional marine biologists who provide an expert perspective on the local wildlife. To ensure the best sighting opportunities, Rota dos Cetáceos uses specialized lookouts on land to guide the vessels toward the animals in real-time. This system allows for the observation of a large diversity of species, including various dolphins, whales, and sea turtles, with the unique possibility of swimming with dolphins when conditions permit.

All equipment and vessels undergo rigorous inspections to meet high safety standards, ensuring that every excursion is conducted with maximum security for both participants and the marine environment.
