Dolphin and whale watching from Machico

Dolphin and whale watching from Machico:

Most recently, dolphin and whale watching trips are also offered from Machico. Machcio is only a few kilometers from Caniçal, where the former whaling station used to be. This is a good sign that many whales have been spottetd here and are being spotted very frequently after the whaling stopped in 1981. Ideal for those who stay in the east of Madeira.

It is also the possibility to go snorkeling with the dolphins.
