Great value! - Great trip, mostly locals. Saw dolphins. Trip path skirted the southern coast from Funchal passing Porto del Sol. Wonderful views! Drinks sold on the boat (takes cc). They stopped at a calm spot along the coastline to go swimming for 20 min. Bathroom on board. Local music playing entire time. Its a large catamaran with with two decks to move about. Stayed on schedule. Great deal for the price.

Beautiful trip - Very well organised. The trip lasts 3 hours, with a 20-minute stop at the halfway point for those who fancy a swim. We caught a beautiful sunset, and managed to catch sight of a couple of sperm whales. Definitely a highlight of our holiday to Madeira.

Top! - Great crossing! Ambiance sympa! Beautiful landscapes, a beautiful sunset and beautiful photos. On the other hand, we did not see many dolphins 🐬 but on other occasions I could enjoy it. Thanks to the crew.

Memorable - I went in July to watch the sunset. There was a very nice atmosphere on board, accompanied by music, snacks and drinks. Luckily we had the pleasure of finding a nail whale. It was undoubtedly a memorable moment that made this experience even more amazing. Regardless of whales or dolphins, it's an experience that is totally worth the view and tranquility. Must have: warm coat or t-shirt!

Overall very good - The crew were excellent and the whole trip was amazing - due to the unpredictably of nature we only saw a couple of dolphins which was slightly disappointing - the sunset and cliffs were fantastic

Sunset - We saw whales even though it's not a whale watching tour. Captain was professional. Water was warm and pleasant to swim.

Tour scam - Contrary to what was assured before the purchase of our 8 tickets we saw neither dolphins nor whales. In the distance there was a glimpse of a fin of a probable dolphin. UNA VERA TRUFFA!
