Reviews: Diving in the Madeira Aquarium
Guest User2024-08-18
It was in incredible experience and a luck to find an aquarium to do it in totally safety. We saw "l'envers du décors", "behind the scenes" and learn many thing about it. The diving instructeur is very patient and alway watchfull. For old or young divers ; do it !

Reviews: Funchal Bay: Dolphin & Whale Watch Luxury Catamaran Cruise

I booked the excursion an hour before departure. The yacht was in excellent condition. They offered a welcome drink. We saw dolphins, but no whales. We swam in the sea from the yacht. The excursion was worth the money.

Reviews: Funchal: Sunset Sailing Tour
Guest User2026-10-19
Fantastic sunset cruise with whale watching and swim. Bruno and Cafofo took great care of us. They were engaging, informative and rightly encouraged us to swim when we had the chance. The water was warm and swimming by the cliffs at sunset was an amazing experience! We were lucky to see many Sperm whales and one breached right in front of the boat. A wonderful evening. We highly recommend.

Reviews: Funchal: Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners
Guest User2026-10-16
Vivian, our guide, was so patient and warm. The theory was explained very well, and we practiced in the pool first. Plenty of time was taken, and any fears were overcome. The team is incredibly friendly and very professional. Thank you for this experience!

Reviews: Funchal: Unforgettable sunset on a typical Xavelha boat
Guest User2026-09-02
I had an amazing time onboard the Xavelha boat, and the sunset was absolutely gorgeous! our 2 hosts were attentive, knowledgeable and kind. Having a swim in the ocean in a spot with incredibly clear water was refreshing and super fun. watching the sunset afterwards with fresh fruit and a cold drink was just perfect. I'd book this again in a heartbeat, it was definitely one of my highlights of my stay on Madeira.

Reviews: Madeira, Ponta São Lourenço: First-Time Scuba Adventure
Guest User2026-10-11
Tao was reassuring and guided me through my introduction to scuba diving. A very good experience. Medical questionnaire and e-learning materials were sent the day before (remember to consult your doctor before leaving if necessary).
