We had amazing time! The crew was fantastic, very friendly and attentive, we had drinks and snacks and saw lots of dolphins. The boat was very clean and with only 16 passengers on board it felt very luxurious. Thank you!

Our family had an amazing time on the VIP Dolphin & Whale Watching cruise around Parque Natural Marinho do Cabo Girao. Captain Pedro, Vandela, and Sheila made the experience truly special from start to finish. With only 16 people on the spacious catamaran, there was plenty of room for everyone to relax, spread out, and move around comfortably. Drinks were served right away and continued flowing throughout the cruise. Captain Pedro brought us to a whale sighting, but unfortunately the whale was playing hide-and-seek that day. Even so, we were thrilled to see a pod of about 80 dolphins swimming, playing, and jumping all around the catamaran. It was an incredible sight. Vandela and Sheila also served local snacks during the trip, and everything was delicious. Captain Pedro patiently answered all of our questions about the animals we might see and about the island of Madeira. We then continued to Cabo do Girao, where everyone had the chance to jump into the cool ocean water for a swim. Madeira’s coastal scenery is truly breathtaking. During the trip, photos were taken of everyone and later emailed to us, which gave us a wonderful way to remember the day. Thank you again to the crew for making our day so memorable and for their outstanding service! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a more private and personal experience.

An absolutely incredible experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Madeira! During the tour, we were lucky enough to see a huge pod of more than 100 dolphins, 3–4 whales, 2 sea turtles, and even flying fish. It was an unforgettable wildlife experience that exceeded all our expectations. What made the trip truly special was the crew. Everyone on board was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They shared interesting information about the marine life and made us feel welcome and valued throughout the entire excursion. We also really appreciated that the boat was not overcrowded. There was plenty of room to move around, enjoy the views, and observe the animals comfortably. It felt much more personal and authentic than the typical crowded tourist boat trips. We highly recommend VIPDolphins to anyone visiting Madeira. If you’re looking for an unforgettable ocean wildlife experience with a fantastic crew, this is the company to choose!

Une magnifique journée avec un équipe attentionné et souriant,un merveilleux moment, dauphins et baleines au rdv, le nombre de personnes à bord étant limité à 17 nous avons eu l’impression d’être seuls à bord le plaisir était intense.

Fantastic Trip and Great Crew / Boat Having carefully researched available dolphin and whale trips we chose VipDolphins. The whole trip was excellent, small group (max 17), really friendly, nice and informative crew of 3, really nice included sandwiches, snacks and pastries, unlimited included drinks (cocktails, beer, wine etc), photographs taken by crew and emailed to us a few days later, plenty of time to see 50+ pod of dolphins and take a swim (towels, goggles and snorkels provided). Couldn't recommend VipDolphins enough, little bit more expensive than some other operators but great food and drink included, so ultimately cheaper.

Wir kommen wieder ! TOP! Wir hatten wunderschönen Stunden auf dem Katamaran. Viel Platz, sehr nette Besatzung, top Service. Häppchen wurden gereicht. Mit Getränken wurden wir auch bestens versorgt. Gesehen haben wir viele Delphine, eine Schildkröte und in der Ferne einen Wal. Super entspannte und schöne Stunden. Zudem bekamen wir kostenfrei Fotos per Mail nach der Tour zugeschickt.

Esperienza assolutamente incredibile e uno dei momenti più belli del nostro viaggio a Madeira! Durante l’escursione abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vedere oltre 100 delfini in un enorme branco, 3-4 balene, 2 tartarughe marine e persino dei pesci volanti. Uno spettacolo che ci ha lasciati senza parole. Ma ciò che ha reso questa esperienza davvero speciale è stato l’equipaggio. Tutti i ragazzi a bordo sono stati gentilissimi, preparati e appassionati. Ci hanno spiegato molte curiosità sugli animali marini e hanno fatto di tutto per farci vivere qualcosa di unico. Abbiamo apprezzato molto anche il fatto che la barca non fosse affollata: c’era spazio per muoversi, osservare gli animali e godersi il tour in totale tranquillità. Una formula completamente diversa dalle classiche escursioni turistiche sovraffollate. Consiglio VIPDolphins senza alcun dubbio a chiunque visiti Madeira. Un’esperienza che porteremo con noi per molto tempo!
