We are passionate about...

Wildlife

We stand for marine life — whales, dolphins, turtles, fish, and seabirds.

People

Responsible whale watching in Madeira is guided by three core principles:

1. Respectful Wildlife Interaction

Boats must maintain regulated distances, avoid sudden course changes, and never chase or encircle animals.

2. Education Before Observation

Understanding marine biology reduces harmful behavior. Informed guests become responsible observers.

3. Conservation Over Commercial Pressure

Animal welfare always takes priority over sightings.

These standards align with international best practices for ethical whale watching and Madeira’s regional regulations.
