I was skeptical when I saw it described as the No 1 best thing to do in Funchal ...but once there I was a convert. Great fun!

Reviews: Dolphins and Whales Cruise Trip from Funchal
Guest User2025-04-01
The tour was a complete success. Despite several warnings that there's no guarantee of spotting marine life in the open ocean, we were lucky and saw many pilot whales. The guides were in contact with other boats to ensure we had the safest possible experience. They were all incredibly friendly, kept us supplied with drinks the entire time, and spread a lot of cheer. Afterwards, we could even jump into the water in front of Cabo Girão – absolutely perfect! :)

I had such a wonderful day and so much fun! I really appreciated that the guides offered alternative options for anyone who wasn’t comfortable with certain jumps or slides. It made the experience enjoyable for everyone. Definitely worth every penny, the team was incredibly kind and supportive throughout!

Reviews: Diving in the Madeira Aquarium

It was in incredible experience and a luck to find an aquarium to do it in totally safety. We saw "l'envers du décors", "behind the scenes" and learn many thing about it. The diving instructeur is very patient and alway watchfull. For old or young divers ; do it !

Many thanks to Nico and the crew for a wonderful morning trip where we got to see both pilot whales and dolphins.
We were rescheduled from 2 days earlier, due to the poor weather, but re-arranging was straightforward and we got plenty of notice. On the day we did get to go out, the crew went out of the way to make sure that we felt at home, that we always had food and drink whenever we needed, and to help explain what we were seeing.
We also appreciated that the boat never felt overcrowded and there was plenty of seating. Unlike some of the other operators which looked crammed full of passengers. So, yes you're paying more, but we thought that it was worth it.
A bonus was that one of the crew went around to take photos not just of the sea life but also of us.
