Are you ready for the glass bottom boat in Madeira?

This boat tour on a glass bottom boat in Madeira gives you an underwater experience without getting wet! This boat trip takes place on a unique glass bottom boat in Madeira, a trimaran with a semi-submerged cabin with 8 windows to allow submarine observation.

The glass bottom boat in Madeira makes two daily trips, each with a duration of 2:30 to 3 hours. The route of the glass bottom boat in Madeira is from the Marina of Funchal towards East, to the Garajau Nature Reserve. This Natural Reserve is the only marine reserve area on the south side of the island.

It takes about 45 minutes from the Funchal Marina to the area where we are permitted to enter the park. In the Garajau Reserve it is guaranteed to see a lot of sea life on every trip. On this glass bottom boat in Madeira, usually you can see triggerfish, sea bream, grouper and damselfish, among other fish. Other more rare visitors may also appear, such as manta ray, moray, and other species.

Garajau is also the place where a stop is made to swim and go snorkeling (masks and tubes are available aboard) since this is, without doubt, the best spot in Madeira to do so. The water temperature in the summer varies between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius.  After visiting the Garajau park, the trimaran moves towards deeper waters, in search of dolphins, whales and turtles, which can be seen from the submarine cabin. This is a truly unique experience among all marine excursions in Madeira.
