The islands: a unique research context
Investigating in Madeira and the Azores requires a different approach than on the mainland — these are territories with their own airport and port flows , inter-island connections to monitor, and a strong tourism and hotel component that shapes the most frequent types of cases.
Our teams are familiar with these specific dynamics, which allows us to maintain the same level of discretion and efficiency that we apply on the mainland.
Operational Coordination and Geographic Relevance in Archipelagos
Our structure across the islands is divided to ensure a rapid and effective response anywhere on the islands. We coordinate continuous operations from the main urban , economic , and tourist centers of each autonomous region.
Madeira Autonomous Region : Operations focused on the urban and hotel sectors through our specialized team at the private detective agency in Madeira .
Azores Autonomous Region : Comprehensive coverage and centralized mobile support from our private detective agency in the Azores .
Conducting investigations in these territories requires in -depth knowledge of traffic routes , ports , airport flows , and inter-island connections . Our teams have perfect control of the main local road axes, allowing for short- or long-range surveillance without security breaches and without raising any suspicion among the target.
Private Investigation Services
The strong tourism and hotel industry in Madeira and the Azores creates a significant demand for private investigations , especially in cases of infidelity during stays.
Surveillance at ports and airports and the monitoring of inter-island connections also support requests for technological and asset investigations —specifically, locating people in transit. For business matters related to the hotel sector, we offer our business investigation services .

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do they have permanent teams in Madeira and the Azores, or do they travel from the mainland?
Given the volume of cases in these regions, a local team is not always immediately available—in such cases, we send an agent from the mainland to ensure the same quality of care. Whenever possible, we prioritize the team that is already in the archipelago.
2. How does research work on separate islands, such as in the Azores?
Our teams are prepared for follow-ups involving inter-island travel, maintaining continuity of the case even when the target moves between islands.
3. How much does an investigation cost in Madeira or the Azores?
We do not work with hourly rates or a public price list. We provide a fixed price after a free initial assessment, with local travel expenses already included.
4. Do they provide security services for hotels and resorts in Madeira and the Azores?
Sim, é um dos contextos mais frequentes nas ilhas — vigilância discreta em unidades hoteleiras, sem levantar suspeitas junto do alvo nem do estabelecimento.
5. Can they locate someone who is just passing through the islands, for example on vacation?
Yes. Monitoring airport and port traffic is a core competency of our operation in these territories, allowing us to act quickly in cases of short stays.
6. Do you conduct business investigations related to the hotel and tourism sector?
Yes, it's a significant part of our activity on the islands — unfair competition, information leaks, and partner verification in tourism-related businesses.
7. Do I need to go to an office to open a case?
It is not mandatory. The process can begin by phone, video call or email, with the same contractual formality, regardless of the island where you are located.
8. Do reports produced on the islands have the same legal value as those from the mainland?
Yes. They follow the same technical rigor and the same legal framework, and are equally usable in judicial proceedings in any court of the Autonomous Regions.
