About

Rota dos Cetáceos is the premier dolphin and whale watching company in Madeira, offering guided tours that combine expert marine biology with thrilling adventures. All tours are led by a team of marine biologists who spot cetaceans from land and direct the boat to the best viewing locations, ensuring passengers experience the most impressive sightings possible. The company offers several tour options, including a 2.5‑hour Whale & Dolphin Watching tour that guarantees a second free trip if no cetaceans are seen, as well as a Swimming with Dolphins adventure where guests can swim alongside friendly dolphins in a safe, calm environment. Visitors can choose from adult, child, and free‑child pricing tiers, and advanced booking is available through the site’s integrated FareHarbor system. Rota dos Cetáceos’ fast semi‑rigid inflatable boats provide a comfortable ride and immersive experience, making it a top choice for families, marine enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike.
