Your journey begins at the new marina in Funchal, where you'll set out in search of dolphins, whales, and turtles. Then, you'll have a welcome break at Cabo Girão (586 m), Europe's highest sea cliff, which provides the opportunity to swim in crystal-clear waters during a bathing session.

The likelihood of observing dolphins and whales is 96% during the morning experiences, 92% in the afternoon, and 68% during our summer sunset experiences, according to the 2023 figures. The team of onshore observers, is equipped with powerful binoculars, contributes to achieving these high observation rates. Please keep in mind, while the team makes every effort, there are days when these wild creatures choose not to reveal themselves. To maintain an intimate atmosphere, the excursion is limited to a maximum of 17 guests accompanied by 3 crew members, ensuring optimal visibility of marine life and 5-star service for each guest.

Madeira sunset dinner cruise with eclipse experience

A sunset at sea is a highlight in itself. Add an eclipse to the mix and the result is an evening you'll be talking about long after you're home. This exclusive boat cruise gives you front-row seats to a celestial event that doesn't come around often, with the open sea and Madeira's beautiful coastline as your backdrop. As the boat cruises offshore, there's time to cool off with a swim before dinner is served on board. Relax into the pace of the evening, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a fresh perspective on Madeira that many visitors never experience. We've thought of the details too, with eclipse viewing glasses included so you can enjoy the event safely. Whether you're on deck as the eclipse unfolds, this is an opportunity to witness a natural phenomenon that only comes around once in a while.
