Funchal dolphin cruise with lunch and drinks - The hotel pick up is very important to me, one of the main reasons I chose it, the whole experience was great and the guys onboard were very professional but relaxed, nothing was too much trouble. Very early on we saw a large number of spotted dolphins swimming around us and diving out of the water ( great photos and videos). We cruised down the coast at a leisurely pace, very relaxing with a cold beer in hand or soft drinks, all inclusive of the cruise price. We stopped for an hour or so for lunch drinks and if you’re so inclined a swim , then a steady cruise back to the harbour, Excellent I would recommend, a great experience !!

What a lovely day - Lovely day! Picked up promptly from our hotel and taken to the harbour - wine, beer and soft drinks are flowing and soon you are a long way out into the Atlantic admiring the shoreline. Whilst dolphins are not guaranteed we saw loads! And sea turtles. Then you head to a quiet cove for a swim and lunch - which is amazing, filling and tasty. The journey back is along the shoreline where the guides point out various things including the cable cars that farmers use, different towns and so on. It’s amazing to see the rocks on the shore this close up! Would thoroughly recommend

Boat day trip - Great trip - saw Pilot whales, a turtle and a few flying fish! Lunch was homemade and really good. Gorgeous swim in a beautiful cove. Worth taking some travel sickness pills as the whales are about 1 hour from shore and then another 90 + mins back to lunch stop - it gets quite choppy even in good weather. Good selection of places to sit in sun and shade. We preferred the shade of the lower deck. Boat was really clean and staff friendly.
