We believe that our work is far more than a source of income and are committed to the ocean and all its marine biodiversity. Situated in the marina of Calheta at the south-western coast, Lobosonda offers daily several 2-3 hour trips on small boats. Established in 2003 as a family buisness, it has excellent field experience and is a pioneer in the Whale Watching sector. One of the companys main pri

nciple is summarised in the guideline: "We are the guests out there". Emphazising that no animals should harassed or harmed is fundamental for the daily work.

Our Story

We stand for Water, Whales, Whale Watching, Whale conservation, Wellness and for Welcome. Lobosonda is a whale watching company respectful of all marine biodiversity operating in Madeira since 2003.

We believe that our work is far more than a source of income and are committed to the Ocean and all its marine biodiversity. As a thank you for all the beautiful sightings of marine mammals, we had over the past years, the Lobosonda team works with heart and soul daily on ocean issues and its protection.

We will take you into the “blue office” a beautiful and sensitive workplace. In the Ocean there are also laws that apply, the most important one: respect! Each species has a different character, varies their behaviour and the daily condition of the animals also plays a role on each sighting. Therefore we cannot guarantee sightings on every sailing but, our team does their best daily. Each sailing is different and unique, a good and respectful team work translates itself on the success rate of our sightings.

The coming together of people and marine mammals is special and should remain special. It is our mission and responsibility under the existing rules to make encounters with marine mammals that do not harm them in any way so its our focus daily to get this right.
