I had chosen this provider because of their homepage: https://www.h2omadeira.com I deliberately wanted a smaller boat because I hope that this would not disturb the animals too much. The guides were very respectful of nature and did their job with enthusiasm and passion, although it was definitely not their 1st season! I got an extra star ⭐️ because we made an extra stop to fish out a piece of plastic! This provider not only lives from tourism, but also takes care of the environment. Top!
