Itinerary
Cruise on our 2022 purpose-built Eco-friendly catamaran and enjoy a comfortable tour along the southern coast of Madeira Island.
Our spotters on land use binoculars to find the animals and direct the boat right to them.
When sea life arrives our hybrid-electric engines engage for silent emission free cruising which helps keep the cetaceans very happy!
Our certified guides will provide you with informative commentary and fun facts about the cetaceans and different species that you may see.
On our way back, we sail close to the coast passing by many points of interest that may include:
• Cabo Girão - the 2nd highest sea cliff in the world (time permitting you can go for a quick swim)
• Camara de Lobos Bay – a traditional fishing village
• World famous Reid’s Hotel where Winston Churchill and high profile celebs stayed during visits to Madeira Island
• Enjoy views of our paradise island in comfort and style

This was a cool catamaran experience. We saw families of spotted dolphins which was pretty cool. Then, we made our way to a swimming spot for ten minutes. Other than that, it was pretty boring.

The views of Madeira are spectacular from the Atlantic. Outbound, we saw the coast from a distance and inbound we hugged the coastline for closer up views. The ride was smooth and the crew very professional and friendly. We even saw a rarely seen species of whale on our trip! Definitely will come back again for this excursion.

The trip was great.
We saw 2 types of dolphins - a lot of them! We even saw a baby, it was amazing. The guys leading the tour were very nice, funny and kind. They were trying not to disturb the animals with our boat, which I think they succeeded in, because the dolphins were swimming very close to us and were not afraid.
I also really liked the fact that they promote violence-free attitude towards wildlife and teach people to respect the animals and admire them with the needed respect.
Thank you!

I waited in Line for an hour and was 8th in line ( I am 66) … then suddenly they brought families to the front of the queue…who preceded to get on and take the prime seats on board to save for their family and friends still in the queue by putting their bags everywhere, particularly local Portuguese ! This was extremely unfair and spoilt the excursion … there were some arguments !

A good trip on nice catamaran with kind and helpful staff. We enjoyed seeing some dolphins and pilot whales, sadly nothing more.

Excellent day. The crew of the ship was great. They were able to locate four separate groups of dolphins. Beautiful day out on the water.

Good responsible team with positive environmental messaging. We saw common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins. It would be good if the guides also identified some of the seabirds too.

I am happy to join previous reviewers in recommending this company. I saw dolphin only but that is not the fault of the company as wildlife do their own thing! The 'cruise' would be worth 3 if not 4 stars if it was just for sightseeing. Clearly the crew do know their stuff with the sea creatures. I wonder if they might make some more announcements than they did about the shore line but that is a minor quibble.
The boat takes quite a lot of people but never seemed overcrowded. I didn't purchase any drinks/snacks or use the toilet but both can be done. I was travelling with a 90 year old relative and they assisted her with boarding and disembarking. Effectively it is a free for all for seats when you are on the boat but people do move around once you get going. As others have mentioned, you could get wet if you are right at the front.
