A boutique experience, just the right amount of people on the trip. Friendly knowledgeable staff and great snacks/drinks. Saw dolphins a plenty, sadly now whales on this trip but that's the luck of nature. Not so sunny on our trip and a good touch that we were also provided blankets. I usually get a little sea-sick, but not on this vessel. Had a great time. Would highly recommend over some of the other appallingly over crowded boats that we saw.

Just amazing experience!!! We were so lucky to see both dolphins and whales!!! They are very professional to keep the distance from wild animals and also with the limit timing to stay around. So it's more harmless as i thought for the animals. We were 16 people in total and it is very relaxing 3 hours with drinks, snacks, sharing knowledges about the wild animals and very friendly services. Again just amazing experience.

Nous avons passé une excellente expérience à bord. Le personnel est aux petits soins pour nous: Boissons, cocktails et mignardises nous sont proposés. Des photos sont faites pour vous pendant l'excursion (si vous en êtesd’accord, de vous etdes animaux que vous verrez). Nous avons eu la chance de voir des baleines et des dauphins; l'équipage nous explique ce que quelqu'un a imaginé nous voyons exactement et apporte des précisions si nous souhaitons. Je recommande à 100% cette expérience, foncez si vous êtes à Funchal.

The moments that stay with you forever ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There are moments in travel that quietly stay with you—and a morning out with VIP Dolphin Tours in Funchal is one of them. Set against the deep blues of the Atlantic and the dramatic coastline of Madeira, the experience feels refined from the outset. The boat is intimate rather than crowded, creating a sense of calm exclusivity that immediately sets it apart from typical excursions. This is not a rushed, tick-box trip—it’s curated, considered, and beautifully paced. What elevates the experience, however, is the team. Warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate, they strike the perfect balance between professionalism and relaxed hospitality. Their understanding of marine life is evident, but it’s their respect for it that truly defines the journey. And then, the magic—whales breaking the surface in their natural habitat. No spectacle, no theatrics—just a rare, humbling encounter with something far greater than ourselves. It’s the kind of moment that resets perspective and lingers long after you’ve returned to shore. VIP Dolphin Tours delivers exactly what its name promises: a quietly luxurious, deeply authentic experience that feels both special and effortless. Without question, one of the standout highlights of Madeira.

Book this boat! It’s a maximum 17 passengers, way more space on the boat, amazing staff, all you can drink (cola, brisa, alcohol, etc) and snacks We did see dolphins and whales, Amazing experience, totally worth the money. Don’t go with other companies, even if its cheaper, this one is way better
