Guided tour
Although the staff were excellent and the boat was good, we didn't see any wildlife whilst on the experience. I am aware they they cannot control the animals and it is not always certain that we will see anything, but there was no offer of a second trip for a discounted price or money back from this trip. For it to be called a whales and dolphin cruise and to not see anything, it was quite disappointing.
Hit the waters near Cabo Girão in search of dolphins and whales on a 3-hour cruise trip from Funchal!
Set sail from the marina in Funchal, where you will board the yacht. Search for dolphins, whales, and sea turtles up to 3 miles from the coast. With some luck, you will see lots of native wildlife in their natural environment!
As you keep an eye out for local wildlife, take a dip in the water Cabo Girão and use the snorkel provided, or relax with a drink in your hand before your sailboat docks back at the Funchal Marina.
