This was one of the smaller dolphin cruises I saw in Funchal and I am so happy I booked it. Beautiful boat, lovely crew and with the small amount of other sailors it made for the perfect experience. We saw a pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins, went snorkelling down the coast and saw loads of fish and were provided with a complimentary drink after swimming. I would 100% recommend a tour with this provider

   Verified We will definitely use this operator again when in Funchal
Absolutely loved the small a more personal nature of this operation, super friendly and helpful sea and land crew , nothing was too much trouble and very informative. An older style sail boat (which did actually use the sails for part of the trip) , not the best weather the day we went but got to see bottle nose dolphins .

   Verified Highly recommended
Very nice boat, small group, very good lunch on the Wednesday trip. We went twice. First time no luck with dolphins and whales. Second time was amazing to see pilot whales.

   Verified Wow! Gerne wieder!
Rundum toll. Super nette Crew, tolles Englisch, leckeres selbstgemachtes Essen, lokale Getränke für jedermann, Toilette an Bord, genügend Platz auf und unter Deck, kleine angenehme Gruppe, nicht so überfüllt wie andere Touristen Boote. Die Crew hat sich super Zeit genommen, alle Fragen beantwortet, tolle Fakten geliefert und hat sich um jeden gekümmert. Immer wieder wurde betont, dass wir entspannen und die Tour genießen sollen, die im Endeffekt sogar über 5 Stunden ging. Wir werden es definitiv weiterempfehlen und bei Zeiten auch selber nochmal wiederholen. Für den Preis absolute klasse! Obrigada!
