Great time! - I got to book this excursion very last minute and thankfully it did not disappoint. We got to see sperm and pilot whales but not dolphins but that’s ok. I was visiting from Miami therefore not seeing dolphins was not a total bust and they can’t control wildlife to say the least so please keep an open mind. If you’re looking for a nice scenic trip with friends/family I definitely recommend this catamaran excursion. The crew was very nice, knowledgeable and I loved how they stopped the catamaran to remove plastic/garbage from the ocean that we saw along the way. Give them a try! You won’t be disappointed :)

Catamara Tour - Very nice walk! The crew was super friendly, the catamaran comfortable and with an amazing view. I took the tour in the late afternoon and I was able to see the sunset. I recommend carrying bathing clothes to enjoy even more

Bachelor party with dolphins - We went on a bachelor party 7 people and had a great time. We've never seen so many dolphins together, I think it's also a matter of luck, 5/5. The amazing views, Madeira always gives its best 5/5. The crew super well disposed and with good data about the dolphins, rating you like what you do, good for you guys 5/5. I would have liked to spend a little more time taking a dip in the beach, this time we spent no more than 10m, 4/5. Thank you.

Catamaran trip to see the dolphins - We had a fabulous time on our catamaran trip. We got to see a bottlenose dolphins and had a refreshing swim in the sea. The staff on the catamaran were very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved laying on the mesh at the front and watching the sea underneath us. I'd highly recommend this trip.

Lovely half day trip and great valuee - Seeing sealife is not guaranteed and the water can be choppy but it's a great experience. The swim at the end was lovely. Snorkeling equipment would have made swimming easier.

Good. - 3h outing, 20 minutes bathing break (too short...). We saw nothing, neither dolphin nor whale! We are disappointed but that’s the game
