On Tales Whale Watching
Calheta
- Outdoors
- From 6
- No price published
- Booking required
Small-group cetacean trips from Calheta marina on a fleet of five small yachts - sailing boats, not inflatables, and not catamarans either.
The quiet option on the west coast: small boats, small groups, a stated rule of briefing before observation and crews that keep their distance rather than chase. Families describe it as closer to a private charter than a coach trip on water. A yacht deck is also a small deck, so this suits an older child who will sit and listen better than a toddler who needs to move.
Worth knowing: Telephone before you build a day round it. The operator publishes no timetable, no prices and no minimum age at all, which is the real problem with recommending it.
Opening hours
The operator publishes no opening hours. Phone before you drive.
Prices
Not published. Nothing about cost, duration or child rates appears on the operator's site; booking runs through FareHarbor or by telephone.
Getting there
