Top Funchal Snorkeling

This trip on the catamaran was just spectacular, they have a fabulous netted area at the front of the boat providing great views and the opportunity for sun bathing. We were lucky enough to see whales and got the opportunity for a swim with some amazing views. The crew were very friendly and fun! We would highly recommend this trip!

The whole experience was great, we saw two types of whales! The ride was nice and we also swam near the Cabo Girao! We would recommend it!

We spent a long time deliberating whether to pay the additional cost of a private tour, and without question we made the right choice for us as a family, with children who don't like big crowds. It was an absolute joy to sit as a family of 4 on the deck of the Miranda and our children, aged 11 and 13, were enthralled as the waves gently splashed us. We were well taken care of by the crew, and having access to a toilet took any stress away from the journey. We were really lucky and saw a pod of dolphins close up, but honestly it would have been a fabulous ocean experience even without that. The crew also took us to an area with crystal clear water to snorkel. We loved the email we were sent afterwards that summarised what we had seen...it was a fab souvenir. We were also sent an amazing file of photos of the trip.

The guides were just brilliant. Really supportive, really chilled, really fun. Don't expect the great barrier reef, but some lovely local fish and an atmospheric snorkel around the steep underwater cliffs. Supported me as a solo woman, till I found my groove and was off.

A very beautiful morning spent in the company of Eva and Martin, who knew how to take great care of us. We were lucky enough to come across dolphins and a shark. We left with stars in our eyes and beautiful photos. Thanks to them and to On Tales for this wonderful experience.

The guidance was very friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. It immediately put us at ease. The snorkeling was a fantastic experience that we will definitely do again!

We took the Sundown trip at 18:00. We really had a good time. The boat even stopped to take in a huge plastic cover swimming in the water to bin it later onshore. The crew was very knowledgeable about the ocean and its inhabitants . We even saw a school of Blainville whales although we didn’t expect to see anything at that time. But after 10 min trailing along with them they aborted it to not stress the animals too much. Liquid catering was good and everyone was in a good mood. We stopped also for a 30 min swim before taking endless photos of the sundown while heading back.

It was a amazing experience! We see the dolphins and they came very close to the boat. Thank you so much for the kind service! The Crew was lovely!!!! Well done!!

We had a wonderful experience on the boat trip! The crew were young, friendly and incredibly kind, and they made us feel welcome and comfortable from the very beginning.The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. They were attentive throughout the trip and genuinely wanted us to have a great time.A beautiful way to enjoy Madeira from the sea, made even better by such a lovely crew. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the experience! ❤️

Great crew, we spotted a lot of dolphins with there baby's which was amazing to see . If we ever woud do this again, it would be with the same compagnie. Thank you very much.

A caring team from start to finish! Furthermore, the photos allow you to keep a good memory of the activity!

Affordable price for a sufficient duration of activities. The facilitators were very fun and entertaining, all in a pleasant atmosphere! We highly recommend this activity for a great time!

We had a fabulous trip with my son, husband and elderly father. He is a little wobbly but the boat crew were very helpful with assisting him on and off the boat. We saw Atlantic dolphins and bottle nose and then pilot whales which was such an added bonus. The crew were very good at spotting where to find the animals and told us what we were seeing. We got close without disturbing them. Highly recommend!

Good experience, the crew was very good despite not spotting any dolphins or whales.

Fun and wild - lovely swim and helpful friendly guided sea bound experience !

We did the morning trip and was very good! It starts between 10-10:30am (if you get there early you will be in the first boat which leaves just after 10). This is great as you don’t need to wake up very early. We saw loads of dolphins - 2 large groups of different types and they were just swimming next to our boat. Best place is to sit on the nets at the front of the boat. Later we also saw a small whale. The captain was great, he came after and explained what we saw. He also gave the small kids bread to feed the fish at the swimming stop. While the boats are not allowed to stay too long near the animals, we had plenty of time near them and they were just next to the boat. All in all, it was a very good trip, the boat is nice and clean (including the toilets) and we had a great time. Price is also very good value (one of the cheapest!).
