Should I reserve ahead?

Yes. The tours are often sold out. Reserve early in your stay. If weather cancels the trip, another day is still possible.

Is there a hotel pickup?

No. Check in at the Funchal marina kiosk 30 minutes before departure.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at no charge up to 24 hours before, on group tours.

What if the sea is too rough?

If Magic Dolphin cancels for the sea state, they try to reschedule.

Do you always see dolphins or whales?

Almost every tour, never 100%. Dolphins more often than whales. If you see neither, the next cruise is €10 per person.

Can we swim with the dolphins?

No. They are wild animals.

The south coast, from Funchal.
