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: Funchal Bay: Dolphin & Whale Watch Luxury Catamaran Cruise

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: 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 !

A really fun experience! Scott was a very friendly instructor who prepared us well and explained everything clearly. We felt at ease and, thanks to his guidance, were able to thoroughly explore the beautiful underwater world. An unforgettable experience! Highly recommended! 🤿🐠
