Funchal: Dolphin and Whale Watching Catamaran Cruise

5.Funchal: Dolphin and Whale Watching Catamaran Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,697 reviews · 3 hours · from $41

From Funchal Marina, you spend three hours scanning Madeira’s open waters for dolphins, whales, and turtles aboard the stable Seaborn catamaran. The crew shares information in English and Portuguese, then heads toward Cabo Girão for coastal views and, in summer, a swim stop. Drinks and snacks cost extra, and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

“Our cruise was from 6pm-8:30. It was an ideal time as the sun was not too strong at that time and we also got to see the sunset on our way back. We saw quite a few dolphins but not any whales. We also made a stop at Cape Girao for a quick swim.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,496 reviews · from $62

Spend six hours aboard a modern catamaran from Sirens Quay in St Paul’s Bay, swimming at the Blue Lagoon and other weather-dependent bays.

“My husband and I took the sunset cruise so there is not a lot of people. We would have rated it 5 stars, but unfortunately the cruise was not able to go to the crystal lagoon. You have to be really early to take the good seats. Overall, worth the money.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,362 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $57Top rated

Sail from Panama City Beach aboard Island Time’s broad catamaran to Shell Island, with dolphin watching, snorkeling in St. Andrews Bay, paddle boards, and a waterslide. Captains and crew members such as Heath, Clay, Keith, Sarah, Emma, and Carter help run the trip. Plan on three hours, plus a 30-minute early check-in.

“We had the perfect time on Island Time! The two captains and bartender took the time to get to know us, were so helpful in spotting dolphins (easily over 100)! They slowed down and stopped so we could take videos/photos. Then spending time walking the beach on shell island was more beautiful than expected. My husband snorkeled and we found sand dollars and gorgeous shells. The music was relaxed but fun, the drink offerings were spot-on (go for the rum punch) and the 3 hours on the trip were some of the best spent on our entire trip!”

“We had a great time with our captains on our sunset cruise! It was a windy day, so a little chilly for swimming in late afternoon, and some modifications had to be made to the original itinerary which the crew had warned us about once we arrived! The boat was pristine and very comfortable. The lunch was delicious as well. The hotel pickup and drop off was great to have included. I only wish we had gotten to see more of the island during our cruise!”
