The highlight of our visit to Madeira without a doubt! An amazing experience which we will never forget- so see a Blue Whale, not just once but several times as it surfaced and blew was a rare and very special experience, we were very lucky to be there at the right time. We also saw lots of spotted dolphins which were playing around the boat. The guides explained everything clearly, taking us straight out to the site where dolphins had been spotted- they are experienced and knowledgeable, ensuring an exciting and memorable experience- not to mention the high speed ride across the waves before and after the views. We were pleased that the engines were turned off while we were close to wildlife, and every opportunity to ensure minimum disturbance was taken. You might get wet - you'll definitely be bounced around, but such a high quality experience is well worth it.

This trip on the rig was amazing. Racquel was a fantastic, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. We saw 3 species of dolphin, two species of whale as well as numerous sea birds. I can wholeheartedly recommend H2O Madeira to anyone visiting the island

Did this trip with my daughter, amazing, we loved it. Fast fun Rib boat, lovely, knowledgeable staff who gave us lots of information. Saw lots of Dolphins, wasn't too hopeful we would see a whale really but we did, fantastic experience. Highly recommend H2oMaderia, thanks guys a great experience.

We cant control wild life but i want to thank the entire team for the amazing customer service and for making the tour super fun. Love that they provide professional copies of what they captured from the tour and immediately send us copies too. I usually get motion sick and did take supplements to decrease the chances. The tour did not affect me one bit and i did sit at the very back,as instructed by the guide. Cheers!

We had the most amazing time, the rib was fast and fun, the guides knowledgeable and considerate of the animals and we saw whales and dolphins, incredibly close. Spotters work really well and we actually saw a blue whale!!! Thank you!

We really enjoyed this trip and would definitely do it again next time we're in Madeira. The day we booked for was really bad weather. The guides managed expectations, but still took us out on the boat for 30 minutes to see if we could find any wildlife. We did spot a couple of spotted dolphins, but the guides decided the conditions were not good enough to continue. The office booked us onto the next day without stress and we saw a pod of 30+ bottlenose dolphins which was magical, and common dolphins hunting. The guides are very knowledgeable and I appreciated that this tour didn't disturb the wildlife. We even picked rubbish out of the ocean. The speedboat was also great fun. Would definitely recommend this company.

A lovely tour off-island. Fast boats, knowledgable guide, and up-close wildlife! Bring a jacket and sunscreen; you might need both!
