The guys who led us were outstanding! I had never done canyoning before and they were very patient with me, good with instructions and made me feel safe. The canyon is beautiful and it’s a great way to experience it!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The team reached out via WhatsApp in advance of the activity so that everything was clearly laid out. The canyoning itself was extremely fun - some walking, rappelling, natural slides and jumps. The staff were fun & friendly; and the entire operation felt safe. Highly recommend!

It was a wonderful experience with Pedro, Francisco, and Fabio as our guides. As a first timer in canyoning and a solo traveler, I felt safe and comfortable while having a lot of fun. All aspects were well organised, from the logistics to the adventure and having a nice relaxing break at the end. Everyone in the group was very friendly and kept the energy level just right to enjoy the adventure. I will definitely do it again in the future when I am around in Madeira. Thank you!!

I ser this up for my 20 something year old kids, 4 of them. They absolutely loved it. Took many pictures and still talk about it today 2 years later. Sorry it took me long to realize I had not written a review.

We travelled as a group of 3 and booked the beginner level as none of us had done this before.
The guides were amazing, they have a lot of patience for the first timers!
At no point did I feel unsafe and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
The natural slide at the end is a fantastic way to end the experience!
The guides take pictures and recordings throughout the day and we recieved them later on that afternoon.
I would recommend to anyone.
Thanks guys!

Loved it!! It was my first time canyoning and it was amazing. The guides were great and I felt safe the entire time.

You've got me, a 60 year old in group of 20-30 year olds and even though I was slower (ok, a lot slower) and more unsteady walking over rocks between abseils, both Elvis and Magic Mike were brilliant as they made sure that I was ok and that I was able to do everything. I can throughly recommend as the abseiling was brilliant, the slide at the end was well, words can't describe how good that was and if you're up for it after the slide (which unfortunately I wasn't due to my vertigo) the jump from the rock face into the pool below looked amazing for the lads that did it. If I come back and fancy canyoning again, I wouldn't hesitate in booking again with these as I really enjoyed my day.

We were a small group of 8. We had really nice two guides from Madeira. They were really nice, challenged us and everything was very safe. We enjoyed it a lot! Best thing we did in Madeira. Recommended!!

Fantastic tour. Was our 1. Mal. Everything perfectly organized. Super Guides: very professional and yet easy and fun. It was incredibly fun. We definitely do it again at Be local when we come back to Madeira.

Fabio guiden var jätteduktig och hade professionell utrustning vilket gjorde
att man kände sig trygg. Fantastisk natur och höga berg i Nunnornas dal på Madeira. Det var jätteroligt och vi skrattade och skojade allihopa tillsammans.

Die Guides waren super drauf und konnten ihre Erfahrungen super mit uns teilen. Lockerheit und Spaß standen im Vordergrund.
Definitiv eine Empfehlung wert und ein Adrenalinkick für das nächste Level!

Fabuleux! La journée que j’ai passée était merveilleuse. J’ai pu faire du canyoning avec mon amie et Fabio le moniteur. Nous n’étions que toutes les deux et c’était génial.
Fabio est venu nous chercher devant notre hôtel et nous a déposé au retour, nous avons même eu droit à un goûter. La vue et les paysages étaient à couper le souffle, je n’oublierai jamais cette journée.
Fabio est très gentil et compréhensif, je ne peux que vous le recommander.
Nous comptons d’ailleurs revenir à madère et organiser toutes nos activités avec lui.
Merci Fabio pour cette journée magnifique.

Contraté atraves de Viator la experiencia de baaranquismo para mi y mis 2 hijos, la agencia que nos atendió fue BeLocal y la verdad, el día fue increible, lo pasamos genial con Fabio y el resto de su gran equipo, Bruno y David. En todo momento nos sentimos super seguros, disfrutando de saltos, rapeles, bajdas por el rio con el resto de los clientes disfrutando, riendo y en grata comnpañia. Deseando volver a repetir la experiencia y porbar el siguiente nivel. Gracias por un día tan divertido.
