Ribeira dos Caldeirões Natural Park (Parque Natural dos Caldeirões) Tours and Tickets

That was an amazing experience. Handsome staff. Thins activity was perfect for beginners like us. We had fun !!

Highly recommend. We did this excursion with our 7 yr old son and it was perfect and just enough adventure. The staff were pleasant and super helpful.

This was, without question, one of the highlights of our trip to São Miguel. A huge thank you to our incredible guides—Diana, Claudio, and João. They were knowledgeable, professional, encouraging, and made every single person in the group feel safe and supported throughout the entire experience. I’ll admit that when I first put on the wetsuit, I felt surprisingly anxious. I’d never worn one before, and the tightness made me a little uncomfortable. The guides immediately noticed, reassured me that those feelings were completely normal, and reminded me that once we started hiking and got into nature, I’d feel much better. They were absolutely right. Their calm confidence made all the difference, and within a short time I was completely enjoying myself. The canyoning adventure itself was unforgettable. You’ll hike through stunning natural scenery, climb alongside waterfalls, rappel down beautiful cascades, float through crystal-clear pools, and even have the chance to cliff jump if you’re feeling adventurous. The jumps weren’t intimidatingly high, but they were just enough to push many of us outside our comfort zones—and the encouragement from both the guides and the group made those moments incredibly rewarding. The scenery was simply breathtaking. We visited places we never would have discovered on our own, and being immersed in such a beautiful part of the island made the entire experience feel magical. Safety was clearly the top priority from beginning to end. The guides watched over every participant, carefully explained each section before we tackled it, and made sure everyone was comfortable before moving on. All of the necessary equipment was provided, and everything was well organized. Our group included adults, teenagers, and even some younger participants who tackled the course with amazing confidence. You don’t have to be an extreme thrill seeker to enjoy this experience—just come with an open mind and a willingness to try something new. By the end of the tour, my husband and I felt an incredible sense of accomplishment. There’s something special about pushing yourself just a little outside your comfort zone while surrounded by such spectacular natural beauty. We left smiling, energized, and so grateful we chose to do it. If you’re visiting São Miguel, don’t miss this experience. It’s an adventure you’ll be talking about long after your vacation ends.
