The Atlantic just off Funchal is some of Europe's best water for whales and dolphins, so most boat tours in Funchal head straight out from the marina to find them. Pilot whales, sperm whales and several dolphin species work the deep water past the harbour year-round, tracked by catamarans, fast RIBs and the odd sleek motor yacht.
When you compare Funchal boat tours, start with the boat. A roomy catamaran suits families and a relaxed pace; a quick RIB gets you closer to the surface and to the action sooner. Look for eco-certified small-group trips that keep a respectful distance, and check if a swim stop is included along the cliffs below Cabo Girao. Sunset sailings swap the wildlife for the view back at the amphitheatre of hills above the bay.
