Magic Dolphin Reviews 19

It was a fantastic experience!
For the first time in my life I had the opportunity to observe these wonders of the sea, the team made the experience truly wonderful! They were extremely professional, but also very attentive, kind, funny and absolutely informative! It was wonderful to sail with people who really love this job and the most important thing for them is the animals and our safety. It was great to see how respectful they are towards the animals, and it was wonderful that they tried to pass this spirit on to us too! "This is their home, we are just visitors."
They kept asking if everyone was okay and told us to let them know if we were feeling sick. I may have been a little late. Unfortunately, I fainted on the boat, causing quite a stir, but they immediately jumped to help me, and on the shore they even offered me refreshments to make sure I felt better!
Overall, it was a fantastic experience! Especially since not only the visitors, but also the tour guides set off with the same enthusiasm! Thank you very much for the experience!

No need to worry.
Before we went on our trip I was apprehensive! Was I going to be sick/get soaked/see nothing. None of this happenned. The crew were helpful/patient/pleasant....all good. We saw dolphins and pilot whales and watched a flight coming into Funchal! All good.

Absolutely amazing sea safari by speedboat. Felt very safe but exhilarated. Our marine biologist was even more excited than we were with the beautiful wild whales we saw. She was excellent, with her information and her passion. The captain was fantastic, respectful of the animals but getting us in a position to get a wonderful view, getting information from spotters on shore to see three beautiful species of whale in their natural habitat. Couldn’t have been better.

The BIG scam, on 3 hours of boat paid in the end since the crew is not on time you leave late and will come back early because? They are lazy?

So during these 3 hours there are zigzags of almost 50 minutes to go offshore to play the fools with the waves, then we more or less saw 2 mini whales that they tracked so much at high speed that they left.

Then you will go back to the coast for a while to take a dip with 4/5 people the rest will cook on the deck because that's the deal? 😅 After we go along the coast like a common sightseeing boat so that they point out the coastal towns we pass.

Totally useless.

Over 3 hours they look for whales for a maximum of 40 minutes and I'm still being nice.

You will be crammed in at more than 80 on the catamaran which is supposed to be electric for the ecology but which smell the fuel like not possible. 🤣.

On the other hand at the end do not forget to applaud this masquerade and to give a tip in the Tip box.

Out of the question it is already super well paid given the service provided.

Everything is paid on board besides not even a glass of water.

Profitability is the key word of this company and you will be entitled to a coupon at the end with -10% to try to glean other tourists.

I threw away all the brochures.

I will take the time to answer since you are making fun of the world in the answer in my opinion.

And in truth you deserve less than 1 star and several people on exactly the Same opinion as me too.

You are just mentors and clowns.🤡 And the fact that you answer completely off the mark without any repartee does not prove the truth of what I say.

You do not counter any arguments.

There people will be warned about your scam with organized tourists.

And I read your description carefully and it is just a tissue of lies.

You promise at least several dolphins and not whales.

There you saw a whale in the month diving and you said: it's good you saw it nickel and then left to have people swim.

I do not pay to take a dip.

Your engines are fuel oil ⛽️ and therefore not at all electric another lie.

Far too many on the catamaran to make the most of it we were on top of each other.

And apart from laughing amongst yourselves and having a drink, you don't make much of a choice other than collecting money and asking for tips for your great performance!

A word to the wise.

Paid 60 euros to be bashed around and soaked with no sightings of anything, the conditions were not suitable and should not have taken place just a money grabbing operation avoid

This trip was incredible from the start to the end. The captain Fabio was brilliant and very respectful of the animals. Clara and Natasha’s knowledge and passion was evident which enhanced an already magical experience. We will definitely look to do this again if we return to Madeira.

Professional and friendly crew. They have great knowledge and respect of the island and marine life. The vessel is immaculate and they went all out to locate the pod of pilot whales we saw.
Highly recommended 👌

We enjoyed the trip on new ‘E’ catamaran. 3.5 hours. Boat is comfortable. Crew very friendly. We saw Pilot Whales and Rough Toothed Dolphins. Consequently no time for swimming, which was the correct decision. Crew made a point of making sure everyone on board got a good view, leading individuals to spaces at front of the boat. Very respectful of the wildlife, and took trouble to explain about the species.

Everything was really wonderful!
We had a really privat trip with a beautiful sunset,with champagne and boat just for us!
This was the best idea for wedding day!!
Would do any tour with magic dolphins again!!
A beautiful small boat nice stuff and great communication before the trip!
Thank you for all!
Best wishes
