Reviews: VipDolphins Luxury Whale Watching
Guest User2026-02-01
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.

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! :)

Reviews: Responsible Whales and/or Dolphins Watching Tour
Guest User2024-09-20
We had originally tried a different company for a whale and dolphin watching tour and had no luck as they just went along the coast line. This company take you out and have spotters telling them where to go! We saw two different pods of pilot whales, stopped to get videos and pictures but kept a respectful distance! It was amazing. The speed boat ride back was hilarious too, it’s so fast. We were out for two hours and it was definitely worth the money! Only a group of 12 of us, and you can snorkel with dolphins if you find a specific species.

Reviews: Funchal Bay: Dolphin & Whale Watch Luxury Catamaran Cruise
Guest User2026-10-14
I booked the excursion an hour before departure. The yacht was in excellent condition. They offered a welcome drink. We saw dolphins, but no whales. We swam in the sea from the yacht. The excursion was worth the money.
