So much fun! Great way to experience the Azores. Definitely the best choice - small group, knowledgeable and friendly guides. Can't wait to come back and do it again!

João led an amazing experience for us. He was extremely knowledgeable and ensured everyone safely had a great time. My ten year old daughter was hesitant to do some of the activities and he patiently talked her through them and made her comfortable.
This canyoning experience was the highlight of our trip!

We did canyoning with our kids and friends and we all enjoyed that very much. We did not know what to expect first and in the end it was lot of fun, thanks to our guides from Splash Adventures - Joao and Gonzalo.

Joáo was a great guide. This was recommended as a must do in the Azores for us and it did not disappoint. Even though the weather was a little chilly, we had an absolute blast. Thank you!!

My partner and I had the best time on this excursion! Very easy to book, and all coordination with the tour guide was seamless. The canyoning was a perfect level of challenging without being too overwhelming - definitely an activity for the entire family! You do not want to miss this!

The tour leaders were so efficient, well organized, friendly but still emphasis on safety, everyone felt safe and we had so much fun!

Our family of five, including three kids (the youngest being 11), had an absolutely fantastic time canyoning at the waterfalls in São Miguel, Azores. This adventure was a perfect mix of challenge and enjoyment for everyone. The highlight was definitely the 7-meter cliff jump at the end. We conquered our fears, took the leap, and it was absolutely exhilarating. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting the area – don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience!

Amazing experience from start to finish. João and Luis were friendly, informative and highly skilled in making everyone feel safe and confident - even the overthinking mother managed the biggest jumps! Totally breathtaking experience that led to us seeing parts of San Miguel we would never have seen without this experience!

It's amazing tour. Just beautiful. One star less because pictures are not accessible. Site sais they are available for 7 days after tour. I'm trying to acces mine (5th of June) since yesterday. They don't exist. What a shame.

So much fun! Just show up in a bathing suit and they take care of the rest. Super guides who would be stand up comedians if they weren’t repelling and zipping us down. Class acts who really cared.

We had a great time canyoning with a small group of only 4! It was so much fun jumping off waterfalls, zip lining, and rappelling. We didn’t have to wait long before our turn since there weren’t a lot of us and it was safe and exhilarating!

João at SPLASH Azores Adventure made our short cruise stop the most amazing family experience and memory of a lifetime we could have had. Everything from communication, safety, friendliness and adventure at each of our comfort levels was met. Do not hesitate, just book!

We participated a great canyoning adventure in Salto do Cabrito. Our guide Joao was focused on fun and safety so everyone finished the tour with a smile which you can see on the photos, too, which were taken during the canyoning trip.

Excellent experience! João was funny, knowledgeable and provided all the equipment we needed to feel safe. The group was small and that allowed to provide a more individualized experience The water was freezing but because of the wetsuits, it was not bad at all. The park is stunning. In sum, I would do the tour again with them in a heartbeat.
Peyton_K, Oct 2023
Great guide! He was very helpful and fun. It was an amazing experience! The waterfalls were incredible. We felt extremely safe and the guide really focuses on our safety during it all.

João and Rodrigo were terrific guides. Very focused on safety and an enjoyable experience for everyone. I loved it.
Mark_G, Sep 2023
These dudes absolutely rock! They are extremely skilled and put safety first. We went to Salto do Cabrito. A ~45 minute hike followed by multiple jumps and canyoning down around 4 waterfalls. What an pleasure getting to hang with Jaoa and Rodrigo. You can tell they have as much fun as you are and that makes it even better. Must try!

Absolutely fantastic experience!! João and his team made it so safe and fun. I would recommend this to anyone who loves nature and adventure!
Alice_M, Aug 2023
Amazing guys, very funny, nice, careful and professional. They took us to an other location because this one was too crowdy (august) and reading comments it appears to be the best spot. Recommend 100%
Anh_D, Aug 2023
Great tour guides who prioritized safety but still made the experience fun & exciting. It was so nice to have personalized attention in our group of 6 people, which was a stark contrast to other tour groups who had 14 or more people. The scenery was amazing and our kids ages 13 & 14 loved the excursion. We’re looking forward to seeing the pictures our guide took!

The hike up is real work, but made the first jump into the water that much better! Joao and his team were fantastic. They were encouraging and big on safety. My son can be a bit cautious around heights and water, but took every jump (25+feet) happily, it was that cool to try! An experience we will ask remember!
Julie_H, Jul 2023
Best guide. Joâo was super and Nice. The expérience was great. We liked the jumps and the hiking. Nice experience.
Sarah_W, Jul 2023
João and Vladi were hilarious, safety-conscious and committed to making our day so much fun (we felt like the only people in the canyon). You have to be pretty physically fit to tackle this activity but the amazing rappelling, exhilarating rock jumps and unreal views make the exertion more than worthwhile.
