A Must Do Trip when Visiting Madeira - We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon with VIPDolphins. The crew were friendly exceptionally knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Drinks and snacks were excellent and plentiful. We saw bottlenose and spotted dolphins and were lucky enough to see a whale. I would definitely recommend booking a trip with this company

It was the best boat trip we have ever done! - It was amazing! The staff is really great and will arrange everything you need without you having to ask. They even take photos that will be sent to you later, so you don't have to take them yourself.

Excellent trip, such great value for money - The staff on board are so attentive, this boat tour is superb value for money given the maximum amount of persons permitted. The catamaran is beautiful and there is so much room to spread out on cushions. In my opinion they could charge so much more for this trip! Saw 3 speem whales

10/10 recommend this dolphin tour - Amazing!!! They were wonderful and if I would ever coming back I would absolutely book when them again. I think they are worth every penny by able to sit freely and comfortably not next to each other was the best part. Plus they had drinks and food and made it such an amazing experience!!

The only tour company you should consider - Absolutely amazing boat and crew. It’s more expensive than the other options, but the group is much smaller and there is an open bar with snacks. This is the only boat tour you should book with
