Animal Lovers on Madeira

For some of us, spending time with animal and viewing animals in their normal habitat is similar to being in dreamland. There are many destinations around the world in which wild animals are one of the main reasons to visit.

Of course, people who truly love and respect animal will only enjoy encounters which are non-stressful, ethical and respectful for the animals. 

Cetaceans in Madeiran Waters

Madeira is the ideal destination for those amongst us who dream of seeing cetaceans in their natural habitat.  Observation of sea mammals follows very strict rules which guarantee ethical, stress-free and utmost respect.   It is possible to book a boat trip to observe these majestic animals more closely in their natural habitat.

Birdwatching

Madeira is also the ideal place for birdwatching. Various rare bird species live and reproduce on Madeira. Hence, many companies offer birdwatching tours.

Animal owners

Most animal owners would rather travel with their pets.  However, boarding a plane is the only way to reach Madeira.  Unfortunately, a plane trip can be extremely stressful for your pet.  Sometimes it is not possible to take your furry friend on the plane to Madeira with you.  The best option then is to leave it in the capable hands and care of a sitter, family member, friend, or animal boarding establishment.
