This was a lovely day. We saw lots of dolphins.

we were on the Catamaran for 3 hours and it was wonderful, we must have seen more than a hundred dolphins and very close too, the guides were very knowledgable and did their best to speak to everyone on the trip.

My first chance to see dolphins, and I didn't see a few, I saw lots! Great views of Funchal, excellent service on board (including a bar and a toilet!) Worth every penny.
