Magic Dolphin Celebrity is a VIP experience - The experience on the boat was excellent. Crew really friendly and passionate about the dolphins and marine animals and gave loads of educational info and background. Only have 20 on the boat was so more personal and the fruits and drinks available were excellent. Great experience. Booking… we did get called less than 24hrs before (5pm day before when we were sailing at 10am next day) and basically were told they were cancelling the morning sailing due to not enough people booked… I have two comments about this notice period is too short to really organise anything else for the next day. We have a packed itinerary and had to reorganise our day to go in the afternoon at very short notice. 2nd point is you are a travel destination company then you need to run to your schedule. If you are having problems filling slots then run once per day not twice… if it’s occasional then you should really fulfil the schedule…

Best trip money can buy in Funchal! - Excellent trips! We liked it so much, we went twice in a week. Great atmosphere with the crew. The boat is quite small compared to the rest in the harbor so the atmosphere is also more friendly and familiar. Best trip money can buy in Funchal!

To do!!! - It was an amazing experience! We had the chance to quickly meet a group of dolphins who swam about ten minutes with our boat. The team is serious, passionate and respectful of animals. The small group experience allowed us to ask our questions to guides, experts in their field because biologists. We were able to talk with Florine in French, even if the tour in English is very understandable. We were able to land at the front of the boat, on cushions, enjoy unlimited fruit and a drink offered during these 3 hours. We also had the opportunity to stop halfway to dive and observe the fish thanks to the equipment provided by the team (mask and snorkel). I highly recommend this activity!

Wonderful! Personal, informal - and the best way to see marine life in Madeira. - We went on the Celebrity, which only holds about 20 guests, so it is informal and personal. We were hosted by Clara and Natasha who are extremely knowledgeable about the whales and dolphins we saw as well as giving all their guests a warm welcome and efficient attention. We even stopped for a wonderful swim on our way home. This is definitely the best whale/dolphin experience to be had on Madeira. I want to go again!

Super time at sea! - The staff were great… friendly and kept us updated through the trip…. We didn’t see any animals but that’s nature for you! They did offer our next trip at just €10 each which I thought was really good!

A truly wonderful experience we won't forget - My wife booked this trip and at the desk told me she had upgraded us to the "celebrity" version. This included a free drink and fruit to eat which was lovely. It also meant a lot less people in the Catarmaran than the standard trip. Myself, my wife and daughters aged 16 and 12 went on this trip. From start to finish the crew were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about marine life and the Island of Madeira. They had great conversation and were very professional. The trip was smooth and relaxing. Not only did we get to see beautiful Dolphins in their natural habitat but we also stopped and we're able to swim/dive/snorkel off the back on the boat. It was fantastic. Throughout the trip the crew were giving detailed facts about various marine life and I learned alot of things I didn't know. The crew paid special care and attention to the people who went into the water and at one point one gesticulated at me to ask if I was OK (I was first off the boat and into the water and remained there until we had to leave). Snorkel kits were provided by the crew and I was able to dive down and get some great footage on my go pro camera. My wife and daughters also came into the water which made it a great family experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this trip and would like to give a special shout out to the wonderful, kind, knowledgeable and friendly crew:- Natascha Fábion Florine Guilherme Thank you so much from the Jackson 4.

A fantastic experience - I had the pleasure of going on the magic dolphin celebrity trip with my family this week and it was a fantastic experience. The boat we were on was spacious, comfortable and contained seats inside the boat or on the deck. Whilst on the trip we saw two bottleneck dolphins, which the staff had expertly guided us to. The staff displayed their knowledge and passion of the animals which was fascinating. We also had time to get off the boat and swim, with the swimming equipment they provided, which was an amazing. Additionally, included you get a free fruits and one drink. As a whole it was incredible, particularly the staff who ensured that everybody was safe whilst sharing their knowledge about the animals and history of the island. Couldn’t recommend this enough !!!!
