The Pelagic Boat Trips in Madeira

We have been doing this for three years and refining these pelagics for the last two.
After research and customer input, we add two new sea trips dedicated to birdwatchers:
Desertas Islands Birding Trip (8 hours)
Zino's Petrel Pelagic Expedition (3 days)

Both trips are now available to book.

We hope that this brings birdwatching in Madeira to the hedge... and that is an experience of a lifetime.
