...instead saw 3 separate pods of fin whales plus a whole load of dolphins. The crew on the boat were great - clearly knew their stuff and were keen to share their knowledge and experience; they seemed genuinely excited when whales were spotted! It was a bit windy when we went out which did result in wet legs as we were sat by the trampoline nets at the front - the odd wave caught us out! It is worth noting that outside seating (with the best view) is deck cushions: if you are considering this trip and have any balance / mobility issues, you have been warned... Plenty of photo opportunities - even if only for a reverse view of the bay and coastline - but don't forget to look at things with your actual eyes (rather than through a camera) and remember that everyone else on the boat is trying to get the 'perfect shot' as well. We did not use the other facilities on the boat (e.g. bar, WC) but they were there for those who wanted / needed them. All in all - a great way to spend 3 hours!
Cable car was great, but it is half way u8pmthe mountains outside Funchal. You either have to take a bus or taxi to the start of this cable car or take another cable car fron Funchal itself .This starts close to the market and takes you up half wat to the Monte gardens. A 10 minute walk takes you to the start of the second cable car to the Botanical Gardens. Trip and gardens are great just remember the journey to get their!
Worthwhile experience seeing dolphins in natural setting not too far off shore. The crew were excellent and made a point of not only informing everyone of what was going on and details of the different dolphins and whales but they also spoke to all the individual gross separately. One thing to bear in mind is that the 9:30 sailing in only 2 and a half hours not 3 as advertised on this site.
Brilliant morning on a beautiful catamaran. Staff were were very friendly and knowledgeable and really cared about the wildlife. As with all wildlife there is no guarantee that you will see anything although we were lucky to see Pilot Whales in their natural environment. We also stopped for swimming and if this is an option we would strongly recommend it as it was a great experience.
Really nice trip near to Funchal coast. I was skeptical and I was not waiting to see dolphins, but we really did, plenty of them. The crew was friendly and funny. Gave us a lot of information about dolphins and whales as well as some sightseeing tips for Funchal and surroundings.
