Great experience! Not only the fast (somewhat bumping) ride, but especially the encounter of two whales, dolphins, a turtle and flying fish made this one special! A lot was also told about the species and their behaviour, so it was also educational.
Beautiful and exciting experience! Two different species of dolphins spotted. Solid boat trip, but fun to experience. Friendly staff and we were given time to take pictures and enjoy.
Even before boarding the boat, a ray was already welcoming us. Then the sea rolled out the red carpet for us: dolphins everywhere, several whales, and even a turtle 🐢 and some flying fish. Needless to say, we were dazzled… and we could not have dreamed of a better outing! 🐬🐋✨ and on top of that, a slightly playful captain on the sea 😉 Too bad it wasn't in French
We chose H2O Madeira because of the excellent reviews. And they are completely justified! The team is concerned about the well-being of the animals! We were able to observe dolphins and a whale. The zodiac is comfortable, and we were even offered a little burst of speed. As a bonus, a link with photos was received after the excursion. Suggestion: headphones for translation into French would be a plus. Thank you to the entire team for their professionalism.
Wonderful moment, luck was on our side, we were able to observe several whales. Very friendly skippers, the only downside was the lack of explanations in French, which was a shame for the children. I recommend 100%!
Friendly team, dolphins, a turtle, 2 smaller whales. A great experience.
A unique experience and impeccable organization. Highly recommended.
Excellent organization for this sea outing (the sea was quite rough, it's sporty!). We saw about thirty dolphins, a turtle, flying fish... and 2 whales! It was sublime! Be careful, depending on the conditions you may get soaked. It's good to bring a waterproof jacket, clothes that can get wet, and water shoes. Watch out for your cameras too...
This trip was out of this world, staff are amazing and full of knowledge. We saw Spotted Dolphins, A Bryde Whale and her Calf, Flying Fish and a Turtle. Was amazing
Excellent morning out, spotted and bottle dolphins, Brydes whales. Very knowledgeable guide, excellent skipper and a thrill ride on the fast boat thrown in.
