This was our first time canyoning, and it was a wonderful experience and adventure! Our guides were fantastic — prioritized safety, fun, and ensuring we all had a fantastic time. The perfect length, right level of challenge, and a really unique way to spend half a day. Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing experience!! At first I was so scared because I had never canyoned before, but the guides made me feel incredibly safe! It was such a fun time and the fact that they take plenty of photos for you is a nice added touch! I would highly recommend this experience.

We enjoyed our canyoning experience with Alfredo and Lucas! It was a very smooth operation from beginning to end. Being picked up by the company was easy, they gave very clear directions on canyoning itself, the gear they provided was in great condition, and we felt very safe the entire time. Most importantly, we had so much fun and it was a great adventure! We were able to rappel down several waterfalls and slide/jump into a few of the deeper pools. Alfredo and Lucas also took great photos for each person! Highly recommend this experience!

Level one canyoning in Madeira was a great choice! We had a belter time. Causing havoc whilst under awesome supervision. Well looked after by our guides.
Definitely do this is you want a challenge and a laugh!

Did not know what to expect but absolutely loved this experience! Really friendly instructors and I felt really safe. You are active all the time, and a nice mixture of jumps, slides and descends. Time for this excursion was just right too. Honestly just really good fun!

Ronaldo and his friend are amazing and we loved their sense of humour. So experienced and knowledgeable. I loved every second of the experience and my daughter Oliwia who is 8 can't wait for another one. Thank you guys! Keep doing what you are doing as you are amazing!

One of our best memories from the trip to Madeira! The guides were fantastic and did a great job! The canyon scenery was gorgeous and this is a unique way to see more of Madeira.

We had the best time! The group size was perfect and Luigi and Peter were so funny and made sure to get the best pictures and experience. Definitely would do this again!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time! This was well out of our comfort zone but so glad we did it! After getting to the destination, we changed into wetsuits and hiked for 10-15 minutes down to the river. We were in the water for about 2-3 hours. Activities included ziplining, repelling, sliding, climbing, and river walking. The guides were very helpful and made personal accommodations to make sure everyone was comfortable! The hike back to the meeting point was difficult as it was all uphill. Overall, this was an amazing time and would do the next level up when we are in Madeira next!

EPIC and EXCEPTIONAL !! Guides were knowledgeable, and highly skilled with a fun, positive energy! They took very good care of everyone in the group. What an incredible experience!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Wonderful experience. The guides were very helpful. Three women on the tour couldn’t swim, and they made sure to accommodate them so they could fully participate. If you can’t swim, no worries. The water is shallow and they will help you! As for me, I was a little nervous because this stuff is out of my comfort zone, but it looked like so much fun. It ended up being an amazing experience for me!! The guides talked us through every step and helped us with everything, even telling us how to place our feet on the rocks. By the end, I wasn’t scared anymore and I was so happy I did it!! Also, playing in the water and enjoying the wilderness was just spectacular!

Absolutely loved the experience! My husband and I were skeptical as we have never done anything like it, but we walked out of this loving it! Luigi and Marcus were great guides. Instructions were clear and our safety was always a priority. We would highly recommend to anyone who is physically able as it could be demanding!

No matter whether you have heard of canyionig or not, everything will be explained to you and you will be able to put theory into practice in a beautiful natural setting. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the guys are very nice e prepared and you feel safe even jumping sometimes into the water! I simply had a lot of fun, I enjoyed the nature, and I can't wait to do it again!

This was such a unique experience! Our guides Marcus and Luigi were very helpful and informative, we felt comfortable the entire journey. You repel down about 5 waterfalls with a few slides and jump points. There was a short hike to and from the river bed as well. We had an amazing time, would definitely recommend!

We went in a friend group for our first canyoning experience, and it was amazing. Ronaldo and Honorio were THE BEST guides we could have hoped for, they had an amazing energy, friendly, professional, patient when needed and helpful and clearly knew what they were doing. They also explained the techniques and the jumps in a very clear way. There were a couple of families on the trip with smaller children and they also handled the kids amazingly, so I would recommend too if you are going as a family. We walked through the river and saw small waterfalls we would not have seen otherwise. All the equipment was provided, the drive felt very safe and we got a little snack midway
Overall, a very fun and 100% worth it experience if you visit Madeira and want to try something new.
Janine_P, Sep 2023
