Beautiful place to visit and lovely people. English widely spoken and well organised events to do and placed to see. Trouble was we both came back with Covid 19 symptoms.

Lovely day. Went on the morning trip and saw two pods of dolphins, one including a baby! Friendly and informative crew!

Excellent trip, well worth the money. We saw lots and lots of dolphins but having had gone on many trips previously with no sigtings, I know it's not a given. Crew were fabulous too.

We went on the Magic Dolphin eco catamaran on Wednesday morning. The boat was immaculate and the crew very knowledgeable and gave excellent commentary. They have a ‘spotter’ on the top of the boat who is scanning the sea with powerful binoculars and when a spot is made they sail close to the area and then turn off engines and switch to electric power. They are very respectful of the creatures and will only remain in an area for a maximum of 10 minutes, which is plenty of time to get some great pictures, before moving off so the creatures are not overly disturbed. We saw a sperm whale, hammerhead shark, pods of dolphins, flying fish and potentially in the distance a humpback whale. I highly recommend this company and trip. Great value and also a nice way to see the island around Funchal

The trip was excellent and the crew very competent. It was very informative and comfortable. I would do it again. The best excursion we've been on.

We had a fab day. The crew were professional and informative. We were lucky enough to see a pod of spotted dolphins then a little later a huge group of pilot whales. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Watching he dolphins chasing the boat and swimming were the best experiences of the trip. Don't forget to bring some warm clothes because it gets windy and cold!

Tracy P

This trip was fantastic, we saw numerous pods of dolphins which exceeded our expectations. The staff on board were really knowledgeable and super friendly. The Catamaran was in good condition and spotless. My only piece of feedback to improve further would be to reduce the numbers of paying passengers as it felt quite crowded and seating space was therefore compromised. Additionally it would have enhanced the trip if there had been some music following the dolphin spotting. Other than there 2 points it was an exceptional trip.
