Have a nice tour and whales spotted! - Due to the weather and cancellations, the tour was moved to the next day, we were informed about this well and in time. Nice skipper and crew present on board. The outward drive was a bit wild against the tide but the whales had been spotted further so in full speed towards it. We found the so-called Pilot Whales and were able to approach them very close. They swam past and in front of the boat at one point. We got a good look at them and got good images. Then the more relaxed return cruise on calmer water, it was nice weather and still stagnant to be able to swim. All in all a nice tour, nice crew, whales and everything well arranged.

A lovely trip out - It was good value for money, a lovely trip out, but the catamaran used was no where near as nice as the one we previously booked with Viator when we booked in January 2023

Very relaxing! - A great overall experience, being both very relaxing and fun. We had stopped halfway through to swim for 20minutes. This was very refreshing and allowed for more time to take in the scenery. Very much a couples experience but a group of friends would also enjoy!

Fabulous experience - Lovely knowledgeable and funny crew - we were so lucky to be guided towards a family of pilot whales. We also saw flying fish but it would have been fabulous without any sightings. Fabulous swim in crystal clear, warm water before heading back close to the shoreline and a look over the beautiful camara de lobos. A real highlight of our stay.

King and Queen of the sea. - Surprise for my wife. I booked the whole boat for the two of us and never regretted it. Easy to find in the marina. Captain and crew member treated us great and with all their hearts. Treat as King and Queen. Drinks and snacks on board. We saw whales and went snorkelling close to shore. Absolutely worth the trip.

Experience at the top - Small group boat ride, really nice crew, solarium above and around. Really I preferred this one to the first one I made at the beginning of the stay where there were too many of us. The Award includes a drink served on board. I recommend

Great boat trip out of Funchal - This was a really nice trip out from Funchal into the whale watching zone (based on the other boats there) and then back along towards the sea cliff. It's a smaller boat, which felt more comfortable, and the crew were friendly. We also liked the opportunity for a swim in the sea. I'd understood that we'd get to see the tall sea cliff but that was only at a distance, perhaps because we'd managed to see some whales and that had taken some of the time? Overall, I can recommend this trip.

Catamaran trip - Lovely to see a group of dolphins enjoying themselves near the boat. Catamaran had very good facilities on board.
