Who we are
On Tales was created in 2015, in order to allow you to contemplate the magnificent creatures that inhabit the Maderian seas. Our mission is a respectful exploration of the natural habitat and of the sea.
We aim to introduce our guests to some of the wonders of our coasts, attending to their needs whenever possible and maintaining a healthy relationship with sea-life, to allow future generations to enjoy it as much as we do.
We offer a service of excellence, such as “on tales”. On board our yacht “Miranda” our qualified professional crew, passionate of sea-life, will be taking care of you. Guests only have to relax and indulge into the ocean’s charms.
On Tales is a young company dedicated to maritime touristic tours. We sail out from the Marina da Calheta to admire the South coast of the island. Knowledge of our surroundings, comfort and safety are the fundamental principles that guide and motivate us. The On Tales team aims to provide our guests with the best possible experience.
On Tales is already a reference on the well-known TripAdvisor portal and is within the top 5 of the attractions of Madeira Island.

Madeira islands


The Madeira archipelago includes Madeira Island, Porto Santo Island, the Desertas Islands and the Savage Islands. Madeira and Porto Santo are inhabited islands that we can explore freely. Desertas and Savages are classified as Nature Reserves and require a special permit.
Our archipelago is set in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and benefits from a very pleasant climate, both on-land and on the water. Temperatures, over the year, range from 17°C to 25°C while the sea temperature varies between 18°C and 22°C.
This is why Madeira is known as the Pearl of the Atlantic and the Floating garden of the Atlantic ! A real paradise where you can walk in the mountains or bathe in warm water, at any time of the year.
Madeira Island is also one of the best places in the world to observe whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. It is only up to you to join us …
