VipDolphins Luxury Whale Watching

Well worth the money! The crew were wonderfly friendly, informative and we had all round great service. Drinks and snacks included. Boat was spotless and not crowded. We saw flying fish, a loggerhead juvenile turtle, whale and dolphins. An amazing experience.

Fantastic afternoon , the crew were amazing , constantly offering drinks and very knowledgeable about the sea life. Highly recommend this trip.

Fantastic day out! Excellent value for money. We’re only here 1 week and looking at doing the boat trip again! The staff were absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and attentive, kept our drinks topped up! Trying traditional Madeira snacks was fab as well! We saw dolphins up close, wales and flying fish.

Excellent voyage to look for whales and dolphins on a lovely catamaran with plenty of space for everyone. The crew were very friendly and attentive. We were given lots of different snacks and a variety of drinks and taken out around the coast. First we found a loggerhead turtle. Then we changed direction after the captain noticed spray. We then came across 4 bryde’s whales and bottlenose dolphins. We also saw flying fish as we left the area. We then sailed to the bottom of Cabo Girao and anchored so we could get in the sea to swim. It was refreshing and not cold at all. We sailed back close to shore passing Câmara de Lobos to Funchal.

Great choice. Beautiful boat. They don’t overcrowd it. Always only 17 people. Nice passed snacks and drinks. It felt like an elevated experience,not so touristy.

Just perfect, wonderful boat and crew. Saw every species we could have hoped for up close. Felt very pampered -a true VIP experience. Crew were very respectful of the wildlife with no crowding of the marine species we saw. The best experience.

Beatiful moments, with nice people in a beautiful area of the island Madeira ♥️ , We hope to come back….

From start to finish my time with VIPDolphins was impeccable. The communication leading up to the trip was smooth sailing and they were always willing to answer any and all questions I may have had. The boat captain and the staff on the boat were amazing, informative and just good people. You could tell they loved what they did. My youngest daughter got sea sick and they bent over backwards to take care of her. I'm bad with names so I don't recall the names of the staff but the captain was born and raised in Madeira, there was a young man also a local Madeiran (I believe his name was EZ) and lastly a young girl from Sweden. Cheers to all three of them for making such a memorable experience for my family of four. We will be back and will certainly book with VIP tours again!

Absolutely worth it . A wonderful afternoon . Dolphins, flying fish , a whale and a shark whilst enjoying food and drinks with friendly , knowledgeable and attentive staff. Passed the very overcrowded big boats in style and comfort. Would do again without a doubt. Thankyou VIP Dolphins for a very memorable experience.

The main thing that attracted us to this trip was the limited number of guests - maximum 17. When viewing the other operators, it seems as though there are up to 80 guests on those boats. The captain and crew were very knowledgable, friendly and helpful and I would unhesitatingly recommend them.
