What to expect

Enjoy a 2-hour adventure on the blue ocean around Madeira to admire whales and dolphins. Get the opportunity to spot the resident cetacean species such as sperm whales, bottlenose dolphins, and common dolphins.

The tour operates all year round in Madeira, an area where there is always something to see, but the best season to observe some of the biggest whales in the world is springtime (March to December). In this specific season, whales are migrating and passing by Madeiran waters and you'll be able to see fin whales, blue whales, and killer whales.

During the excursion, you'll tour the surrounding areas of Funchal by speedboat with 2 professional spotters and gigantic binoculars to increase the chances of encounters.

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.
