What You Will Do

Magic Dolphin Sea Safaris takes up to 18 people + 2 crew members. Powered by 2x 250hp engines, you can expect to cover larger distances than any other boat in Funchal in comfort. This means you will have THE BEST chance to spot the wildlife!

Our dolphin and whale spotters work hard on land to find the animals before we set out for our trip to allow our guests the most possible time spent with the wildlife, unlike most operators.

Depending on the species and sea conditions, you can be very close to the whales and dolphins, but remember, it is wildlife! And our primary goal is to be respectful of their habitat.

Our experienced crew and marine biologist will make sure you have a great time whilst learning about the local cetaceans, fauna and flora.

Our Guaranteed Sea Life Sighting Policy means that if you don't see any animals during your trip you will be offered another trip for FREE! Please note we DO see cetaceans on 98% of our trips.
