VMT Madeira - We are in Funchal and we look towards the twilight. Do you know what we see? Absolutely nothing! No buildings, towers or bridges. Only nature, an endless ocean, a constant line that balances days and nights and with the 3 Desert Islands there in the background, a little to the left.

- VMT Madeira - We are in Funchal and we look towards the twilight. Do you know what we see? Absolutely nothing! No buildings, towers or bridges. Only nature, an endless ocean, a constant line that balances days and nights and with the 3 Desert Islands there in the background, a little to the left.
Board with us on a dream journey, a romantic wave, where besides sighting dolphins and/or whales, it is possible to swim in the warm waters accompanied by the sunset. We sail out for 3 hours so that you can partake in this unique spectacle of colour that changes every day and reflects in the passive ocean of our coast.

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

Very disappointing trip. - Very disappointing.
Left at 10.30am in three hour trip. As they don't use gps to track whales (pods) they were guessing where to go. No sightings.
Audio system didn't work if you were up front and €2 for a third of a litre bottle of water was excessive.
Toilet was basic. Down a vertical stair, hard to use if elderly.
10 stop for a swim was the only highlight the rather boring three hours.
As trip was disappointing, passengers were offered a lifetime free trip in the future. Very fair under circumstances.

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!
