Funchal: Dolphin and Whale Watching Catamaran Cruise

6.Dolphin and Whale Watching Catamaran Cruise

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

Set out from Funchal Marina on Catamaran Seaborn for a three-hour search for dolphins, whales, and turtles. The English and Portuguese crew explain the species you see, then stop beneath Cabo Girão for a summer swim. Expect an open, stable boat, onboard drinks for purchase, and no guaranteed sightings.

“We enjoyed a cruise along the coast in an Easterly direction. We were very lucky to spot a pod of Pilot Whales including a mother and baby swimming along together. This put the icing on the cruise cake! We celebrated with a small glass of beer and wine from the onboard bar on the way back! I can recommend this 3 hour activity to anyone looking for a shortish trip out on the ocean. I should also say that we had very calm weather which helped make the trip comfortable.”
