Blue Safari Madeira

bluesafarimadeira

Yesterday gifted us one of those moments you never Yesterday gifted us one of those moments you never forget — three fin whales gliding together off the coast, and one of them surprised us with something truly special. As she swam on her side, she lifted her fluke tail just enough to reveal one of her lobes — a rare and breathtaking sight, since fin whales almost never show their tails.

These ocean giants, second only to blue whales in size, can grow up to 27 meters long and are built for speed — earning them the nickname “greyhounds of the sea.” Seeing them is always magical, but seeing them like this? Unforgettable.

Nature never fails to surprise — especially when you’re paying attention 💙

Ever feel like someone’s watching you? 👀 This Ever feel like someone’s watching you? 👀
This is spy-hopping — a behavior where cetaceans like pilot whales (like this curious friend) vertically lift their heads out of the water to take a peek at what’s going on above the surface.

They might be checking out boats, scanning the coastline, or just being plain nosy — and we love them for it. This behavior is a glimpse into their curious and intelligent nature. Every encounter like this reminds us how important it is to protect their ocean home. 💙🌊

Today, I lived a dream I’ve held close to my hea Today, I lived a dream I’ve held close to my heart for as long as I can remember – I met orcas for the very first time. Spotting the biggest dorsal fin I’ve ever seen rising from the waves felt nothing short of magical, a moment frozen in time. And in January, of all times, here in Madeira – a rare, almost surreal encounter that makes it all the more special. To see these majestic creatures in such an unexpected place and season reminds me that nature is full of surprises. This was more than just a sighting; it was pure magic. Thank you! And Until we see each other again ✨🤞🏻
