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: Diving in the Madeira Aquarium
Guest User2024-08-18
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 !

Reviews: Funchal Bay: Dolphin & Whale Watch Luxury Catamaran Cruise
Guest User2026-11-03
Worth every penny! The crew were very friendly and entertaining, also shared some recommendations of things to do while we’re on the island. My wife and I get sea sick easily and the crew recommended we sit on the top deck toward the rear which was perfect and made it a smooth and comfortable trip! Couldn’t recommend more!

Reviews: Funchal: Kayak Rental or Guided tour with snorkeling
Guest User2026-09-21
It was a fantastic experience. Our guide was excellent. She was a young German student studying for her Masters. She has been spending her summers a a guide for kayaking. The facilities were very good. The employees super helpful . She gave very concise & clear instructions about both activities. It was my first time to.snorkel 'properly' and I am considering taking it up as a hobby.

Reviews: Funchal: Kayak and Snorkel Tour to Garajau NR
Guest User2026-10-23
Thanks to Diogo for the great and fun guide. Even though the weather changed unexpectedly and the waves were very wild, it was safe to go with a good guide. The waves made the usual snorkeling spot too dangerous, so we snorkeled in a different spot where the fish were not as diverse. We still saw some great fish! We will definitely come again when we visit Madeira.
