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 User2026-10-14
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.

Reviews: Funchal: Advanced Scuba Diving at the Afonso Cerqueira Wreck
Guest User2026-07-30
I did this dive in the afternoon of July 22nd, 2026. The club professionals are fantastic, always available, and helpful both in finding our equipment and with the dive itself. We received some explanations about the wreck and the dive site on the boat. Thank you so much for this dive, go for it! I recommend it 1000%! We went inside the wreck three times and swam around it, seeing many fish. The language barrier isn't a problem because the club staff make sure we feel comfortable and understand everything!

Reviews: Funchal: Sunset Sailing Tour
Guest User2026-10-19
Fantastic sunset cruise with whale watching and swim. Bruno and Cafofo took great care of us. They were engaging, informative and rightly encouraged us to swim when we had the chance. The water was warm and swimming by the cliffs at sunset was an amazing experience! We were lucky to see many Sperm whales and one breached right in front of the boat. A wonderful evening. We highly recommend.
