The best experience in Madeira so far. The team was so friendly and helpful; even though I was 10 minutes late for the meeting time, they still understood. If you love adventure, this is an experience you absolutely have to try.

Everything is provided, you need to be sure footed and comfortable scrambling on wet rocks. Guides will bring your bags to the finish point, so pack your wallet so you can enjoy a nice poncha at the end.

It was a very nice experience to go canyoning with these guys. Our guids were very informative and made the experience awsome.

It was the best excursions I have ever done. Was the first time I jumped from a cliff! The instructors were very helpful and always gave you an alternative if you didn’t want to do the “scary” stuff. I did of course but not everyone wanted to and they did not chassis them for it. Great communication and sooo fun!

Pedro and crew were exceptional. Everything went very smoothly from pickup/dropoff to the actual canyoning event! All gear was provided and Pedro made the experience safe and fun for everyone. I highly recommend this excursion!

Best guides, Mauro and Joao ensured everyone had a blast and most importantly was safe. We were nervous but so happy we did it. The ending is the best part!

This tour is AWESOME! Best tour I’ve experienced so far. Hugo and the crew did an amazing job to keep everyone safe while ensuring everyone had a fantastic experience and got their picture taken. It’s a must do when you’re in Madeira!

Absolutely recommended!
The intermediate canyoning experience was everything I hoped for and more. The pace was easy and comfortable, making it enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. We went through about 10 waterfalls with rappelling, which was both exciting and safe thanks to the clear guidance.
The whole team brought great vibes – young, energetic, and highly efficient – and that made the adventure even better. A special shout-out to our driver Alex, who not only got us everywhere smoothly but kept everyone laughing with his great sense of humor.
If you’re in Madeira and want a fun, safe, and memorable adventure, I can’t recommend this enough!

This was a really fun experience! We went with Francisco and Fabricie and they were very helpful and friendly. They handled a range of skill levels and enthusiasm very well.
I struggled to put on the suit in the beginning and the crew was so helpful and nice as they pulled it on to me (lol truly thank you all for the assistance!).
We did intermediate and 5 of the 6 of us had never canyoned before. This was the right choice for us. By the end, the hardest part was walking through the rocks and water. Overall, a fun time for the adventurous!

This was my favorite activity on the island. The group I went with was in good spirits. It was mostly a mix of Germans and Americans. The guides were engaged and energetic. The activity includes hiking through a canyon with repelling from waterfalls. There are also some surprises. The guides help with capturing moments throughout.

The guides were amazing. High energy, engaging, funny, very knowledgeable. The views were beautiful and the water refreshing. A wonderful time!!!!!

Great experience. We did the intermediate canyoning in the Nun’s Valley last Monday. The guides (Fabio &Velerio) were professional and fun to be with. Really enjoyable experience!

It was a great adventure with great guides! Make sure you bring a changes of close and some cash for a beer or coffee after.
Ellen_P, Sep 2024
We had the most fun, safe and adventurous experience on the intermediate canyoning course. Our Instructors Jose and Felipe did a great job and it was easy to tell they had alot of instructing experience. I highly recommend this experience, especially the intermediate one even if you have not had any previous canyoning experience prior!

This was such an adventure! Our guides, Hugo and Mano were great. I was picked up in Funchal and driven to the meeting point. After changing into all the required gear, you hike to the canyon. We did a lot of rappelling (abseiling) and clambering over and around rocks. There were a couple short, natural slides and two jumps into the water below. We also had a bit of swimming to do. We hiked back out at the end. I felt safe during this trip, but you do need a good sense of balance and fitness. If I could change anything about it, it would be a smaller group. There were 12 people, so you have to wait awhile for all the others to do each element. It gave me lots of time to chat with the other participants. For my first canyoning experience, it was awesome!

Awesome guides! So much fun and I always felt 100% safe. The landscape is beautiful and be prepared to get wet. They also give you a yummy snack at the end. And bonus the guides take pics which they provide FREE which is hard to come by these days.

Experiencing the canyon was the best part for me. Our guides were fantastic, very knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. I highly recommend this experience!
Andrew_F, Mar 2024
This was a great trip. Fabio and the other guides were fantastic. Just the right level of challenge for our group. Beautiful scenery in the canyon. They sent us a wonderful collection of pictures and videos after the trip to remember it by. Was among the best things we did on Madiera.

Had a great time with Magic Miguel and Elvis. Lots of laughs, fun and great vibes. Thanks guys and I'll be back for level 3!!

Greetings!
We did a level 2 trip. It was very pleasant. They took us on time. Equipment was exactly as they had prepared in advance. The route itself was interesting and challenging.
Roads were heavy and very ungrateful.
Many thanks to the guides MIGEL and FABIO
Alison_P, May 2023
Really well organised trip, contact beforehand to arrange pickup, all kit was prepared for you as a result of obtaining sizing details, removed a lot of potential problems. All safety precautions were taken, starting with initial signal talk as well as do’s and don’ts. Anybody that had any fears was reassured and supported to complete the activity. Good group support also on my session.
Fun and exhilarating activity definitely recommend.
Luk_K, May 2023
Amazing experience with Fabio, Fabricio and Filip!
This activity was so much fun and a bit of adrenaline too!
Very recommened for everyone who wants some nice memories fro Madeira
Brandon_H, Dec 2022
My boyfriend and I had the best day with Fabrissio and Fabio! They were fantastic guides and not only was the canyoning an absolute blast but we learned a lot about the history of the region. We got lucky with a clear, beautiful day with plenty of water coming down the canyon so repelling within the waterfalls was even more exciting than expected. This was a great way to explore Madeira's natural beauty while getting a decent dose of adrenaline and a great workout. This experience was one of the top highlights of our time in Portugal and we will surely be back to experience a Level 3 canyoning adventure with their company in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun-filled morning or afternoon in stunning Madeira.

A very pleasant activity with a friendly guide and that puts us in safety. Descents into falls, slides and jumps. Just fun!
