“Amazing experience on a rib boat tour. Would highly recommend”
Review of Madeira’s small-group RIB whale watching cruise, with dolphin sightings, coastal views, optional swimming, and practical booking tips.
“Amazing experience!! We saw spotted dolphins extremely close to the boat, pilot whales and a sea turtle. They work with spotters on the land and really try to go out and find different species. Today there were only 7 people on the tour, so it was very comfortable to be in a small group. Anna and Mark explained lots of things to us about the animals and the island. So I can only recommend the tour.”

“We had a wonderful adventure experience with the family. Marcus and Joao were super nice provided just the right dose of adrenalin for everyone. They showed us around the impressive cliffs of Madeira and had good humor and a lot of empathy for every member of the group. They had a really good feeling for how much support we needed climbing and jumping of the cliffs an even taught us some flips for those who wanted to learn. We all felt safe at all times, while experiencing just the right amount of thrill. I can recommend this to everyone, who wants to have a memorable and special experience in the…”

“This trip was great. The trip was well organised and the crew were very friendly and very informative about the local area. We had the best time on the boat. We had a lovely swimming spot where we could dive from the speed boat. We were given refreshments which was a lovely touch. Would certainly would attend the trip again if we were visiting.”
