This catamaran trip was the highlight of our holiday in Madeira and it did not disappoint. Being able to see the dolphins in their natural habitat in the Atlantic Ocean and then being able to snorkel in the warm clear waters at Cabo Girão amongst the abundance of colourful fish beneath us was a dream come true. I now have a real understanding and appreciation of how the Madeirans really do look after their environment ecologically for both humans and marine life to co-exist together. I’m so pleased we chose to do this trip with VIP Dolphins rather than on a more commercial boat. There were only 16 of us on board the luxury catamaran with plenty of places to sit and view from. The crew were very experienced and extremely attentive at all times and full praise to them when one of the passengers became unwell for a period of time and how they dealt with that situation. We also enjoyed sampling the various Maderian wines and snacks provided throughout the trip too. Thoroughly recommend!
What an incredibly amazing trip this is and worth every penny. The amazing crew, Margarita, Francisco and the other 2 guys were fabulous and looked after everybody so well throughout the trip. The catamaran is truly luxurious and the drinks and snacks were delicious and of a high quality. Highlights were that we saw some dolphins and 3 whales. The crew were very knowledgeable about the likelihood of the sightings and the animals themselves, they provided a lively commentary throughout. There are bedrooms on board to get changed in and towels and plastic bags for wet swimming clothes to be put in, they have thought of everything! I was really nervous about jumping in the sea but I was supported and encouraged by the kind and caring Margarita and Francisco. I felt confident in their ability to help me if I struggled in any way. I am 60 years old and have Rheumatoid arthritis. I had tasty snacks, bubbly and 2 aperol spritz. After my swim I had coffee and a Pastel del nata…a perfect day!
