Dolphin and Whale Watching Catamaran Cruise from Funchal

About this activity
Experience a 3-hour trip by catamaran along the south coast of Madeira Island. We depart from Funchal Marina, giving a quick briefing about the trip and safety matters on board. The crew then starts their search for dolphins and whales, and any other marine wildlife, using binoculars equipped with a compass, doing their best with their experienced eyes. During the summer months, there is the possibility to swim in the crystal clear waters below Cabo Girão if the conditions are good, one of the highest sea cliffs in the world at 580m (1903 ft) in altitude.

During the trip, our qualified crew will give you detailed information about the species of cetaceans you are seeing as well as other technical and historic information to ensure a complete and unique experience.

Since we are dealing with wildlife, there are times that you could end up the trip with no sightings. In the event of no sightings of cetaceans (dolphins or whales), you will be offered with a complimentary trip to go again on an alternative occasion (valid for 1 year since travel date).

I would recommend this trip. Although the Catamaran was quite large and there were a lot of people on the trip, we got to see Dolphins and a Sea Turtle. There is a bar and toilets on board and we also got to stop off for a swim.

The tour was really great and well organized. We had several dolphin sightings. The amenities on board were good and the bartender made the best Poncha which is the local Madiera drink -- highly recommended! Having a photographer on board was a great touch.

Great trip, saw three different species of dolphins that all came up close to our boat and showed off. Good informative guides.

Was a good and relaxing trip on the ocean. You get to see the whole Island from the water and get some great photo opportunities. We were lucky and got to see some dolphins and whales but honestly you see the animals from quiet a distance as the boats are not allowed to approach the animals. You barely get to see their dorsal fins. Overall it makes for a nice trip. Enjoy!!!!!
