Magic Dolphin
We depart from the marina in Funchal and head offshore to encounter whales, dolphins, sea turtles and oceanic birds. Our spotters on land use powerful binoculars to find the animals and send the boat directly to them! Once we have explored offshore we typically cruise by Cabo Girão, the 2nd tallest sea cliff in the world. We then motor along the coast while the staff explain different points of interest like; Camara de Lobos Bay – a traditional fishing village; the world famous Reid’s Hotel where Winston Churchill used to stay during his visits to Madeira Island and much more! You will be able to relax comfortably enjoy the beautiful views of the south coast of Madeira Island from our flagship vessel.
