3-hour Seaborn catamaran from Funchal to spot dolphins, whales and turtles, with a Cabo Girão swim stop and onboard bar.
“The whole trip was fabulous from ease of booking onlinr, checking in to get boarding cards. The weather was lovely, watm and sunny, but there was a place the shelter in the shade if and when needed. The crew were really friendly and helpful. We got to see dolphins and turtles, but sadly no whales, but that certainly did not spoil the trip in any way. If you are visiting Madeira, definitely make time to do this trip.”

Luxury 3-hour catamaran from Funchal to spot dolphins, whales and turtles, with open bar, snacks, and a swim by Cabo Girão.
“This tour was absolutely fantastic! The skipper, the crew, and the overall service were all excellent – friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. We learned a lot during the trip, and because the group size was limited, everyone had plenty of space to move around and enjoy the boat comfortably. There were multiple opportunities to soak up the sun and watch the dolphins – and to our delight, we even spotted sea turtles! It was a truly memorable experience, and we would definitely book another tour the next time we're in Madeira.”
