Reviews: Funchal Bay: Dolphin & Whale Watch Luxury Catamaran Cruise
Guest User2026-11-03
Worth every penny! The crew were very friendly and entertaining, also shared some recommendations of things to do while we’re on the island. My wife and I get sea sick easily and the crew recommended we sit on the top deck toward the rear which was perfect and made it a smooth and comfortable trip! Couldn’t recommend more!

Reviews: Funchal: Dolphin and Whale Watching by Luxury Catamaran
Guest User2026-11-02
Everything about this trip was perfect: easy access, on-time departure, a fantastic new catamaran, few people, and a very good and attentive crew. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales or dolphins. Only the backs of sperm whales, but when we got close, they disappeared into the depths. The weather was perfect that day, so the trip was wonderful even without the whales. A great spot for swimming in the ocean, near the village of Câmara de Lobos. I highly recommend it!

Reviews: Madeira :Whale & Dolphin Wooden Boat Excursion (3h)
Guest User2026-11-09
Unfortunately, the promised honey bread we were looking forward to wasn't available. However, we did see whales and swam in the beautiful bay of Caniço. The boat trip was quite choppy, but nobody can control the weather.

Reviews: Madeira: Flagship Tour aboard Santa Maria de Colombo

Suggestions for improving the experience: 1) It would be interesting to use a microphone when the guide explains about marine life at a particular stop. 2) As the tour lasts 3 hours and the stop to see the animals is only 10 minutes, it would be very enlightening if, during the journey, the guide talked a little about the ship or what the habits were like on such a wonderful vessel at that time. 3) The explanation would be better understood if it were presented before the stop to see the animals. 4) There is no packaging for those who intend to take the bottle of Madeira wine with them. I took it anyway, because the wine they provide for tasting is spectacular! As is the delicious honey cake. It was the best I ate when I was on the island! A very pleasant tour and I would definitely do it again. The ship is the main attraction for adults and children.

Reviews: From Funchal: Madeira Dolphins & Whales by VMT
Guest User2026-11-05
A wonderful experience that I highly recommend. The catamaran is large and has a large, fully covered area (which was very useful even though it rained today). The crew was very friendly. We saw lots of dolphins and even whales. The guide had interesting things to say, and I thought the experience was spectacular. There are two bathrooms and a bar. We were truly satisfied.

The pickup after the hike went perfectly. The tour was fun, and the guide explained a few things well and entertainingly. A lovely tour, unfortunately a bit too short.
