Madeira - This is a must do while in Madeira, the trip was very smooth and pleasant we got to see Pilot Whales. The boat starts in Funchal bay heading towards the deserted inlands so you can get a look at Whales and Dolphins, right after this the boat head towards Cabo Girão sand stops there for about 30 Minutes, i believe that in the summer months they will stop so you can swim , after our stop we head slowly to Funchal passing by Câmera De Lobos (where i am from) this is the most beautiful fisherman village in Madeira. The fish there is always fresh and you must try the traditional fisherman's Poncha as this is the original one. Once in Funchal you Disembark just by Praça Do Povo and they have some nice places for a bite or a drink. The trip is around 3 Hours and the booking slots are 10:30 Am and then again around 3PM to 5PM Hope you enjoy as much we did

Nice experience! And we saw whales! - Booked at short notice but everything worked out very well! Well organized and nice crew. The crew went to great lengths to make sightings of dolphins or whales possible and after almost two hours this was also successful. We found it very nice that this was not a full speed cruising around, but it went very prudently. Even when we approached the short-finned pilot whales, this was done very carefully on a small trip or switched off engine! Conclusion: We'll be back!

Beautiful discovery not to be missed - Great! We left with a very grey weather from Funchal but offshore the sky was clear and icing on the cake we could observe a large number of whales who made us a superb show several times (in different places) Very difficult to take pictures they are very fast 😂 On the other hand back to Madeira: big waves (which reached the center of the catamaran and high wind) Beautiful sailor experience 😂 In summary: very beautiful discovery not to be missed

Worth the money!! - This really is a fun trip! The views were just gorgeous of Funchal and the surrounding coastline. The staff were so friendly and did their very best to find dolphins and pilot whales. They were great to watch. Don't forget your swim suit!The weather was perfect so they sailed to the edge of the cliffs and you had an opportunity to swim. Fun trip!

Worth it - Very nice tour in windy weather the captain looked for a long time but then we saw grint whales. Nice would be even more information to the island they can be seen well from ship. Otherwise everything great again

Beautiful boat but no dolphins - Beautiful boat, great trip out to sea but rather crowded and no dolphins other than a momentary sighting well away from the boat. Stopped off a beach for a swim and then back to Funchal. Lovely tour but disappointing not to see any wildlife
