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

What a beautiful and special experience this cruise was with H2o! Their passion for nature and marine animals is evident. Nice to see how much respect the crew has for their habitat. Highly recommended!

Absolutely brilliant trip. Saw four different types of dolphin, very knowledgeable guide. Speedy boat ride was as exhilarating as seeing the dolphins

Nice Tour but be aware that it is a small boat you should like a bumpy ride. We haven't seen whales but Tons of dolphins. Better than in Funchal.

We chose the tour with the RIB boat to be closer to the water and the dolphins and were not disappointed. We were able to observe two groups of dolphins during our trip. But the boat trip along the coast was also very nice. We would have enjoyed it very much even if we hadn't seen any dolphins. We were a little surprised by the force of the bumps on the boat when it hit the waves. But the skipper steered it really well and spared us the hardest bumps. Nice tour and nice staff. We can highly recommend this tour.

I admit to being a little apprehensive when I saw the Rib we would be in for this trip, but it was fantastic fun! We were lucky enough to witness two different pods of dolphins, Striped and Spotted and it was exhilarating to be amongst them and watching their antics, especially the Spotted ones who were happier with our presence and hung out with us for a while. The guys on the boat were great and so professional and friendly. They also picked up a couple of bits of plastic that they found floating, so doing their bit to keep the sea clean. My husband and I loved this trip and enjoyed the ride, however, one poor chap did get very sea-sick, so if you know that you are prone to this, it might be better to pass on it. But, if you love being out at sea and want to take a chance on seeing some dolphins and/or whales you are bound to have a fantastic time!

Professional and kind staff who take care of their stewardship towards the animals that we are watching. The small boats make H20 agile enough to see up close the dolphins. Unfortunately, the whales weren’t out, but we will be back.

These guys rock. Sustainably focused, super knowledgable and so very very helpful. Rachel and our captain cannot be rated higher-thank you guys🙏

One of the most magical experiences of our lives, within 15 minutes of the trip starting we saw a Blue Whale - just amazing! We were all speechless, we then saw 2 types of Dolphin and a Turtle so we really could not have gotten much better. The guys on the boat were brilliant, they knew so much about the animals and a great deal of respect was paid to them too as we stayed a good distance from them and they were sure to turn the boat engine off to keep the waters as quiet as possible which I really appreciated 😊 thank you H20 for the experience, I cannot recommend you enough to absolutely anyone. Memories I will treasure for a lifetime.
