Description
The meeting point for swimming with wild dolphins, the Ventura Tiger Boat, is at their kiosk inside the marina in Funchal.
“Ventura Tiger Boat” specializes in swimming with dolphins and whales. So, sightings of dolphins and whales are highly likely. If you are unlucky enough to not see anything throughout your excursion, only the boat tour will be charged. Teams of marine biologists will respond to questions. The reason being, they have knowledge and experience about the wide variety of marine mammals that frequent our coastal areas.
Fast, semi-rigid boats can accommodate 12, 14, or 18 passengers are used for the trips. These kinds of boats will get you as close to the whales and dolphins as possible in the shortest amount of time. In Madeira, there are only two tour companies that provide dolphin swimming.
Consequently, the beautiful waters of Madeira attract people who are passionate about both excitement and nature, offering them the unique opportunity to swim with wild dolphins. Madeira is in the middle of the huge Atlantic Ocean and is a haven for a wide range of marine life. It gives you a unique chance to see these smart and beautiful animals in their native environment.
Knowledgeable local guides, dedicated to ethically watching and interacting with wildlife, will prepare you for the experience. These professionals sail the clear blue seas of Madeira, searching for playful and curious pods of dolphins. The anticipation grows as the boat slowly moves through the water. When people first see dorsal fins breaking the surface, it results in awe and excitement.
Before going into the water, people receive instruction on how to properly associate with the dolphins. This makes sure that everyone has a good time while also putting the dolphins’ well-being first. The moment of immersion is life-changing. The cool ocean quickly fades away as the underwater music of clicks and whistles, which dolphins use to communicate, fills the senses.
