Our three‑hour morning tour with VipDolphins in late February was a delight from start to finish. The catamaran is impeccably maintained, comfortably arranged for only 17 guests, and offers a sense of space and calm that sets it apart. Drinks (including wine, beer, and simple cocktails) and a selection of small sweet and savory bites were served with friendly attention. We encountered two dolphin groups feeding right beside the boat - a beautiful sight - and appreciated that the onboard photographer allowed us to stay fully in the moment. The images were available online five days later. A short swim stop beneath the dramatic cliffs of Cabo Girão and a scenic cruise past Câmara de Lobos and Reid’s Palace rounded out the experience. Even without whale sightings, and despite cheaper alternatives, the combination of exclusivity, professionalism, and scenery made this tour exactly what we hoped for. A clear recommendation.

Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Tag!!! Die Crew ist super freundlich, entspannt und fachkkundig. Auf dem modernen und komfortabel ausgestatteten Boot hatten wir reichlich Platz. Das Highlight war die Delphine und Wale aus nächster Nähe beobachten zu können. Danke auch für die leckeren Snacks und die kühlen Getränke. Der Badestop rundete die coole Tour ab.👍👍👍

This was honestly one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve had on Madeira ⭐️ We booked the VIP catamaran tour to see dolphins, and everything about it was absolutely perfect. The boat was comfortable, the ocean views were breathtaking, and the whole atmosphere felt special from the very beginning. What made it even more unforgettable was the incredible crew. They were so kind, attentive and genuinely warm. We got engaged just the day before the tour, and when the team found out, they surprised us with a bottle of champagne to celebrate 🥂 It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture that made the moment even more magical. Seeing dolphins in the wild while sailing along the coast of Madeira is something we will remember forever. If you’re visiting the island, we 100% recommend this experience. Amazing team, amazing views, unforgettable memories. Thank you for making this day so special ✨

Funchal „vom Wasser aus“ begleitet von Delphinen Es war wunderbar dieses Erlebnis auf einem luxuriösen Katamaran mit einer super sympathischen Crew, die Delphine so nah zu erleben;-)

This tour was amazing! I highly recommend booking this trip. The boat was beautiful. Small group size with plenty of seating on board. The crew were friendly, super knowledgeable about the island and the animals, and provided the best service. We saw a huge pod of dolphins that swam along with our boat. A really incredible day. Our group was so happy we went with the luxury experience. It was well worth the money.

Wir hatten einen wahnsinnig schönen letztes Tag auf Madeira und das dank dieser einmaligen Tour. Es wird sich wahnsinnig gut um einen gekümmert. Sowohl Snacks als auch Getränke gibt es massig. Einziger Minuspunkt ist die eher geringe Auswahl an alkoholfreien Getränken abgesehen von Softdrinks. Das scheint aber ein allgemeines Problem auf Madeira zu sein ;) alkoholfreie Cocktails und co haben hier noch nicht so sehr den Einzug gefunden. Wir haben Unmengen von Delfinen gesehen, leider keine Wale.

Die Bootstour war wirklich super. Sehr gut organisiert, nette Menschen getroffen, es gab wirklich viel Platz an Bord. Die Crew war wirklich sehr nett, hat uns alles erklärt und immer wieder nach unseren Wünschen gefragt. Es gab reichlich zu essen und trinken. Auch wenn ich es wegen des rauen Windes nicht so nutzen konnte. Wir haben sehr sehr viele Delphine gesehen und ich warte auf die versprochenen Bilder. Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen! Vielen lieben Dank 😊
