One of the best things we did in Madeira! Canyoning was so much fun and the views were amazing. You get to walk in the river, jump to the natural pool, slide down natural slides and abseiling. The instructors were very skilled, patient and fun. The photos you get is also a nice touch and a great memory to look back on. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do something fun and exciting in Madeira!

Went with 11 year old, 15 year old and 45 year old and all loved it. Also good service when I contacted them with a query before the activity.

What an amazing experience! Canyoning for the first time in a scenic spot with the expert guidance from Pedro and his team has been a fantastic experience! I would certainly do it again. Such a caring and skillful guidance with such kindness by the team to celebrate a participant's birthday with a cake was touching! Thanks to Pedro and his team. Looking forward to the photographs taken during canyoning!

What an amazing adventure! It was my first time canyoning. I am 57 years old and my husband is 60. We LOVED it! Pedro and Nuno was excellent guides and made me feel very safe and comfortable through out the trip. I look forward to coming back with my adult children and doing again.

We had an excellent time canyoning through the mountains of Madeira with Duarte, our guide, and his team. It was a very professional experience as we went down several cliffs, including a large 20 meter cliff down the side of a waterfall. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience the nature of Madeira.
Ange_R, Aug 2025
An incredible experience! We went canyoning in Madeira and absolutely loved it from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, we felt safe the whole time while having so much fun, and the landscapes are breathtaking. The manager and the whole team were very friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable, even as beginners. We enjoyed every moment — from the jumps to the rappelling and exploring nature. We highly recommend it! Thank you for this unforgettable adventure.

It was a great experience. I will definitely recommend this adventures activity.
We had two very good and experienced guides..
Thank you for a great time

This was our first time canyoning and we had the best time. We've done Via Ferratas before with rapelling, but not in a river like this before.
A lot of it was similar to just scrambling through a river, but the rappels down waterfalls and jumps were the best part.
Our guides were great and made sure everyone was safe.
Enrico_F, Oct 2024
We had the best experience, and I definitely recommend it. I would do it again next time.
We were just a small group and our guides Daniel and Nuno were excellent. The offered a convenient pickup just outside the cruise port. Very knowledgeable and made us feel safe and at ease all the time. Easier than expected if you follow the rules. Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable about the island and loved to answer our questions. They also took many pictures that you can then download from a link.
Thank you guys 😊

We had a fantastic time doing this “sport” for the first time. Andre and Marco made it fun and safe for everyone. They are excellent guides, who made us laugh but take this sport seriously. We are a family of 2 fit young adults and their middle-aged parents who are trying to stay young. I literally booked a trip to Madeira just to do this activity - so glad we all had a blast!
Mandy_D, Aug 2024
Me and my 11 year old son did this activity together. It was our first time canyoning and it was so much fun! I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I managed to complete all of the abseils and jumps!
Tia_H, Aug 2024
Our guides were so patient and helpful. They made sure everyone was safe and could keep up with the group while having a great time! This does require some light hiking so just keep that in mind when you are booking. This is a must do activity if you are visiting Madeira!
Caitlin_S, Aug 2024
Daniel was an amazing guide. I did not anticipate being as scared as I ended up being, and I completely lost it at the first waterfall. Daniel talked me through it and helped me all through this experience. By the end I felt confident and was enjoying something that seemed so terrifying when we started. Do yourself a favor and BOOK THIS—you won’t regret it!
Eva_S, Jul 2024
We had an amazing time canyoning through the landscape of Madeira! It was an experience we will not soon forget.
Jack_E, Jun 2024
Awesome day with great guides. Glad we did it and some cracking photos afterwards too. Would definitely recommend this trip.
PMennell, Feb 2024
A fantastic introduction to canyoning! We felt safe the entire time but also felt like we had a brilliant adventure. The whole environment was beautiful! Thank you so much!
Robertas_K, Feb 2024
Me and my friends went canyoning in February. We didn't know what to expect but it was extremely fun and entertaining. Our guides: Daniel and Pedru were very helpful and nice.
Guillemine_M, Jan 2024
So much fun with pedro and daniel ! We liked the activity and the view and we recommend it to anyone that is curious about such a passion !
Sally_H, Jan 2024
Amazing from pickup to drop off. Our guides were Andre and Pedro. They were on time, patient and all round good guides that helped make the experience what it was. It was well organised throughout. The safety briefing and awareness was good. The equipment was really good. Despite the time of year and how cold the water was you barely felt cold. The whole experience with abseiling, jumps, swimming in pools and scrambling and climbing across rocks was amazing. We were lucky it was just the two of us. We both said it was the highlight of our holiday. I could have happily done it all again. We will book again next time. Highly recommend the experience. As a side note I have a bit of a fear of heights but managed everything. There are quite a few abseils and jumps. They are optional but definitely doable and you feel so good once you've done it. The drive to the experience is a windy road, if you get travel sick maybe take a tablet or precautions in advance. Thanks for a really good experience. First class.

Had an amazing day with Daniel and Benardo. They made for a fun time regardless of confidence. Pics at the end were a great memory
Julian_R, Oct 2023
Absolutely fantastic! Having never been canyoning before, I was petrified . Pedro and Daniel were brilliant from the word go. They were incredibly nice, and remarkably knowledgeable . A fab time was had by all and I emerged happy and unscathed !
Robert_K, Oct 2023
It was really exciting. Our guide Daniel and Beni were funny, experienced and reassuring. We were at first dont have a clue what canyoning is. But they ve made sure that it s doable and safe. At the end we ve enjoyed it so much. Oh the photos are amazing also. Thanks for a great time. Would do it again for sure.
