A tourist trip not just for profit - To see the animals in the wild was wonderful and the company is the only one that also completes research on the animals making it a sustainable trip also, not just for profit.

Dolphin and whale watching - A lovely tour with Camilla and Francisco. They made us feel very safe, welcomed and entertained. We were lucky enough to see 15 bottle nosed dolphins. The great thing is you could do the tour mutliple times and see something different each time. I liked the focus on biological recording for science and Camilla had some really interesting information. Well worth the money, would recommend!

Respectful Adventure with a Purpose: A Must-Do Whale Watching Experience - We had an incredible experience on the speedboat whale watching tour! The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the marine life and local ecosystem throughout the trip. Their strong emphasis on safety and an animal-friendly approach, keeping a respectful distance and never disturbing the whales or dolphins. It was clear that wildlife preservation is at the heart of what they do, making the tour not just exciting but meaningful. Highly recommended for nature lovers who want an ethical and educational adventure!

Exhilarating, magical and inspiring tour - Vlad and his colleague were lovely guys. I loved their passion for the ocean and the wildlife, and how respectful they were towards the whales we encountered. Seeing the pilot whales, and especially the jumping baby, was magical, and the ride on the speedboat and the view of the bay was exhilarating. My 9 year old son had a wonderful time. Thank you, thank you!

Whale and dolphins watch - A small inflatable boat for 12 looked a bit foreboding initially. Once we got going and heading out on the waves it started to feel our crew knew where to head. Our guide was a marine biologist and very knowledgeable. After about 50 mins we came across a pod of dolphins and several pilot whales. What a wonderful experience

Blue safari Madeira: dolphin and whale watching in a respectful way! - Absolutely recommended. Camila, the guide, is an enthusiastic maritime biologist with a real passion for her work. She brings her knowledge about the ocean and the animals that live in it, above and around it, in an accessible and engaging way. The captain, Francesco, also made it a very nice tour. Not only do you see the ocean at its best, but the island also gets another "view". This company approaches the ocean and its inhabitants with the utmost respect. This was definitely the best ocean safari I ever did!

Wonderful and best for animal lovers - This was absolutely wonderful. Super exciting as it was on a small dinghy of just 12 people. What I loved about it and the reason I booked it is because it is run by marine biologists. Our lovely guide knew so much about the animals and they monitor them for scientific and conservation purposes and they have people looking out from the island guiding them on where to spot them. We saw two types of dolphins and the boat gets very close because it is designed for minimum disturbance to the animals. Also, my husband didn't feel well and they were so caring towards him. I would say, wrap up warm. It's a speed boat and the Atlantic Ocean! Dec would do it again with the same company and hope to spot different species every time. Keep up the good work!
