Responsible and recommended whale tour
As promised, this was a responsible while watching tour with a marine biologist who collects photographic evidence of the individual sightings where possible. There’s no guarantees of spotting anything, but they use spots on the cliff which helps to identify any action where possible. Anne and we were treated to a pod of photo of dolphins and three bryde whales. The skipper cut off the engine and we were lucky enough that they came right by us with my husband even seeing a bait ball under the boat with dolphins feeding on it. A great experience all around..

Would recommend!
Overall, VIP Dolphins was an exceptional experience. With their high-end catamaran and small group size, it really did feel like a premium experience. The crew of 3 were all extremely knowledgable and went above and beyond to make our evening tour memorable. For the price, I would certainly say that this experience was an amazing deal.

See the Whales
A spacious and quite new catamaran with an enthusiastic crew. Successfully took us to see many pilot whales, a tropical whale and a rare monk seal. Duration was sensible at 2 hours. Just 2 suggestions. Advise all passengers by microphone that a crew member will talk about whales. And after the swim session, advise passengers what happens next. The distant and closer views of Madeira were superb. A great trip.

Two day guided tour
Fabulous 2 day excursion. I happened to be allocated with the same guide both days: Renato Rodrigues. His vibrant personality as well as very apparent knowledge of Madeira made the time more appreciated and fun. He captured Madeira's essence. The cultural influences reminded me of my ancestry and so it made me feel connected to the island. However long your stay in Madeira I would recommend the tour. As a solo traveller I felt very safe and met some very interesting people from across the world.
