Seaborn catamaran from Funchal to Cabo Girão for dolphin and whale spotting, onboard drinks, and possible swims in Madeira.
“Nice trip with friendly staff. Saw dolphins, but unfortunately not whales. worth the money. It was as described….”
30-minute parasailing over Madeira’s south coast from central Funchal—quiet, scenic, and professionally run for small groups.
“Didn’t do parasailing, offered us jet skiing instead. Which was ok, but they just left us in the middle of the ocean on a jet ski that we’ve never used before. Luckily nothing went wrong, but if something did go wrong there would’ve been no-one for us to call for help.”
Hop on Funchal’s yellow bus, then sail the coast for possible whales and dolphins, plus Madeira wine and craft stops included.
“I enjoyed riding the bus loop, it was easy to find. Was very dissappointed there was no internet. The region is very mountainous, So we visited areas we would not have reached on foot.”
