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!

Que divertido! Vimos um pequeno grupo de golfinhos, mas mesmo que não tivéssemos visto, teria sido uma tarde incrível no barco.

O nosso passeiro foi 5 estrelas. Adoramos o nosso passeio de barco. Nossos filhos ficaram radiantes quando viram os golfinhos. A equipa do barco foram muito simpaticos.

What a fantastic outing! We booked the morning trip and the sea was calm, which made the ride very pleasant. The spotter up front pointed out land features and marine life, we saw two species of dolphins and two whale species during our 3‑hour tour. Staff were very professional, and the boat even cuts its engines near the animals to minimise disturbance. Highly recommended for families or anyone wanting a memorable nature experience.

We saw dolphins, which was the highlight of the tour. Very well-organized and relaxing. Highly recommended!
