What to expect

Join this experience and discover the Madeiran sealife. On this boat tour from Calheta, you'll have the opportunity to observe cetaceans with a team of multilingual guides.

Madeira’s favorable location will allow you to cross areas with a wide variety of cetaceans. As the majority of these species are migratory, their coordinates are always different. Your expert spotter on land will take care of catching sight of them with the help of binoculars and will inform your crew, allowing a gentle approach and a close encounter.

Accompanied by an expert team of multilingual guides on board, you'll observe the whales and dolphins of the area while you learn more about the sea life in Madeira island. On your way, you'll probably have the chance to see other marine species in their own habitat!

Ich habe am 30.11.2022 die gleiche Tour gebucht. Wir hatten dort mehr Glück, haben drei verschiedene Spezies gesehen, darunter eben auch die „Puppies“ ...

Sustainability & Conservation

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha

Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
