We have done a Magic Dolphin sea safari before so opted for the catamaran trip this time. We pre-booked with Viator before our trip and arrived at the meeting point 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time. Boarding was quick and easy and we set off bang on time. We saw a large group of spotted dolphins very quickly then went on to see bottlenose dolphins, a sea turtle, 3 types of whale, a large amount of birds and some flying fish! We were informed each time there was a sighting and where on the boat it was best to see them and the information given was very interesting. There was a bar selling drinks and snacks and toilets were available. An excellent trip out!
A lovely trip out: managed to see some spotted dolphins and a turtle, and have a swim in the ocean. The ship took us to the east side of the island before turning round and heading to the west side! The guys on board were very knowledgeable and knew their stuff. I would highly recommend this trip, and appreciate the beauty that lives in the oceans
The boat left on time, group size was good, boat wasn’t over crowded. All crew were super friendly and informative. For the first half of the trip, when going against waves the boat was bit rocky so if you get seasick easily, might want to prepare yourself. We saw dolphins and whales, and beautiful views of the island.
A fantastic trip with a friendly crew. We were lucky: We saw dolphins and a whale.
During our stay in Funchal also made a trip with a large catamaran from Sea Born to spot dolphins. Beautiful boat with ample seating. Trip takes 3 hours. The owner/guide had time for a chat for everyone and gave information about the dolphins we spotted. On board opportunity to buy drinks and snacks. At the height of Gabo Girao opportunity to take a refreshing dip. Nice trip.
It was a lovely boat ride, the staff was nice, and we got to see dolphins and a supermarket whale! Overall, great experience. Loved how they told us what the rules where and then followed them!
It was a very interesting tour with a very competent crew. We saw a whale and many dolphins.
Just awesome. We saw dolphins, whales, and turtles, all while respecting them. The guides were very involved and very attentive. I highly recommend this company.
