Dolphins & Whales Catamaran Trip Enjoy a trip with a high possibility of watching marine species in their natural habitat.
This is a trip you don’t want to miss! With departures from the Funchal Marina, you can enjoy a trip about 3 hours with a high possibility of watching marine species in their natural habitat. In Summer you will have the opportunity to swim and snorkel in Cabo Girão bay. Whenever the winds are favorable, let’s lift the sails for a unique and relaxing experience.

From the moment we boarded the catamaran at the harbour in Funchal, it was clear we were in for something special. The crew were warm and attentive, the boat super comfortable, and within minutes we encountered a lively pod of dolphins playing in the surf. Then we spotted a group of pilot whales gliding nearby. The commentary was informative (we learned so much about the local species) and the setting—Madeira’s west coast cliffs shimmering in the sunlight—was breathtaking. A highlight of our holiday!
Easy booking, friendly crew, and plenty of wildlife sightings
We booked this catamaran tour somewhat spontaneously and it turned out to be one of our favourite outings in Madeira. The sea was calm, the weather perfect, and the dolphins circled the boat for minutes. The narrative from the guide made it educational as well as fun. Don’t forget a wind‑breaker for the upper deck!
An amazing experience out on the ocean! We loved the peaceful boat ride, and seeing dolphins jumping through the waves was truly special. The crew was welcoming and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. Would definitely recommend!
What a fantastic morning out on the catamaran! The crew were friendly, informative and made everyone feel at ease. We spotted a pod of dolphins quite early on and later a few pilot whales. The sea was thankfully calm and the boat had plenty of deck space. Would definitely recommend this to anyone staying in Madeira.
This was such a wonderful experience out on the water in Madeira! The catamaran was comfortable, and there was plenty of space to enjoy the fresh sea air and admire the coastline. The best part was spotting dolphins swimming in their natural environment — it was amazing to see them so close while they played in the waves. The crew were welcoming and shared interesting information about the marine life, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
Pleasant 3 hours trip, saw whales and dolphins, had a poncho and madeira wine, overall very nice trip on a sunny afternoon. Great value and would recommend to everyone considering few hours trip in Funchal.
Very good, guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Passei muito agradável, foi possível a observação de golfinhos várias vezes, dois deles passaram por baixo do catamarã. De seguida, foi possível mergulhar em Fajã dos Padres. Staff impecável.
