VipDolphins All Inclusive Dolphin and Whale Watching

Luxury catamaran whales and dolphins watching experience

Join us at VipDolphins for a 3-hour sea adventure departing from Funchal, an experience that combines luxury and adventure. Upon your arrival on our catamaran, be greeted with our Portuguese sparkling wine and enjoy our open bar, including a variety of cocktails, local beers and wines, and refined handmade snacks.

Our journey begins at the new marina in Funchal, where we set out in search of dolphins, whales, and turtles. Then, a welcome break at Cabo Girão (586 m), Europe's highest sea cliff, provides the opportunity to swim in crystal-clear waters during a bathing session. On the return to the marina, relax while contemplating breathtaking panoramic views of the South coast of Madeira.

The likelihood of observing dolphins and whales is 96% during our morning experiences, 92% in the afternoon, and 68% during our summer sunset experiences, according to our 2023 figures. Our team of onshore observers, equipped with powerful binoculars, contributes to achieving these high observation rates.

To maintain an intimate atmosphere, we limit our excursions to a maximum of 17 guests accompanied by 3 crew members, ensuring optimal visibility of marine life and 5-star service for each guest.
