The female receptionist was incredibly rude to myself and my friends on arrival. I had no data so couldn’t access my booking and she huffed and puffed becoming passive aggressive with me rather than provide me with the wifi to retrieve it.

The tour itself was enjoyable and we managed to see Pilot whales and Dolphins up close which seems to be the most common sightings for this tour looking at previous reviews.

On arrival back to land, we asked if we could use the bathroom at their reception as we had been out on the water for over two hours and the guide again advised us to go to McDonalds instead and deterred us from using their facilities.

After paying 63 euro for the tour, access to the bathroom should be the bare minimum offered. Overall the staff could work on treating customers with better respect as this was hugely off putting and would deter me from reccomending this company to friends in the future.

This was a lovely experience. We saw bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales. Our guide was very knowledgeable, describing the animals and providing interesting information. The route included wonderful views of the cliffs, shoreline, and the city of Funchal. Even if there were no sightings, I would recommend this activity to see the island from a different perspective.

Niesamowite wrażenie i spełnienie największego marzenia - zobaczyć delfiny w ich naturalnym środowisku, wolne i szczęśliwe. Coś czego nie da się zapomnieć. Wspaniała wycieczka, bardzo dobrze zorganizowana, gwaranacja zobaczenia delfinów. Profesjonalni obserwatorzy wyszukują z dużej odległości, gdzie aktualnie znajdują się delfiny dają znać i tam płynie szybka łódź.

Die beste Entscheidung seit langem. Es war supercool. Schon alleine die Fahrt mit dem Boot, war sein Geld wert. Dann noch die Delphine. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert 😀

Our trip was canceled less than 18 hours before departure because they received a last-minute request from a cruise ship (their words). They stated that they were under contract with this cruise line, but nowhere on their website does it say that they can cancel your trip at such short notice for this reason. Later, they claimed it was due to one of their boats being out of service, which, to me, seems like a valid reason for not being able to fulfill a contract. Instead, they allowed the cruise line’s last-minute request to proceed on the boat that was still operational and canceled the reservations of their other customers.

They offered us an afternoon tour, which we couldn’t take as we were leaving the island. Other tours were already fully booked, so there was no whale-watching for us.

Absolutely bizarre and untrustworthy behavior from this company. I would recommend booking your tour elsewhere.

Unsere Tour mit Rota dos Cetáceos zum Whale- und Dolphin-Watching in Funchal war insgesamt eine tolle Erfahrung. Besonders die Fahrt mit dem Speedboot war ein echtes Highlight – schnell, aufregend und ein großer Spaß! Die Crew, bestehend aus einem erfahrenen Skipper und einem freundlichen Meeresbiologen, hat uns sicher durch die Wellen geführt.
Nach einer Weile auf See haben wir schließlich eine Gruppe von Pilotwalen und Delfinen entdeckt, was wirklich beeindruckend war. Allerdings hat es etwas länger gedauert, bis wir die Tiere gefunden haben, was die Spannung zwischenzeitlich etwas gedämpft hat. Als wir sie dann endlich erreicht hatten, blieben wir meines Erachtens nach zu lange an der gleichen Stelle. Es schien fast so, als hätten sich die Wale irgendwann gestört gefühlt und sind schließlich wieder abgetaucht.
Trotz dieser kleinen Kritikpunkte war die Tour insgesamt sehr gelungen. Das Personal war äußerst nett und fürsorglich, und man merkte, dass ihnen das Wohl der Tiere am Herzen lag. Alles in allem kann ich die Tour jedem empfehlen, der auf Madeira die faszinierende Welt der Meeressäuger hautnah erleben möchte!

I paid for a swimming with dolphins experience and even though seeing whales was pretty cool, that excursion cost significantly less than swimming with dolphins. They decided half an hour before the scheduled end time that they would go back to the port because they couldn't find any dolphins. I understand it can be hard to find wild animals in the ocean but they gave up on looking half an hour early so, not only did I not get the experience I paid for, but they also ripped the entire boat of customers off for the time they paid for. They also mentioned that it can be hard to find sea life because there are scientists who tag the animals with a gun and since they don't like getting shot (understandably) they avoid the boats. I emailed them about getting the difference refunded because I don't think it's fair to pay extra for a dolphin experience when we just went on a cut-short whale watching excursion but they aren't answering me. They answered me when I had questions before I paid for the tour so I guess it's one of those companies that care more about the money than the experience they give people. I'd recommend booking with a different company if you want to get what you're paying for.

Madeira

Madeira is a paradise for nature lovers and watersport enthusiasts. We recommend taking a boat tour to explore the island’s dramatic coastline and clear waters. Snorkeling is a must – you might even spot dolphins or whales along the way. Madeira’s blend of adventure and natural beauty is something you won’t want to miss.
