Great hike

Great hike with Frederico. Walked at our pace and shared insights into history and landscape and flora and fauna. Grazie!

We were delighted that all necessary equipment helmet, harness, shirt, wetsuit and shoes were provided. Bring a dry pair of socks and underwear or bathing suit. Also, an added bonus was a morning stop to sample a local breakfast and a follow-up lunch after the canyoning. The canyoning itself was exhilarating. Safety was foremost. A very unique experience for our group of 3 fit seniors. Kudos to Titiana and Marco for providing an excellent adventure!

This trip was excellent. They picked us up at our accommodation in Catania. The instructions were clear and thorough, all the necessary equipment was provided and our safety was always ensured. The descent was perfect for beginners, but still very exciting, not to mention beautiful! They even gave us pictures and videos from the day and we stopped and got cherries at a local market on the way home. 10/10 I would highly recommend.

Cheryl_A, Jun 2016

The canyoning excursion was terrific! The guides were enthusiastic and yet safety conscious. One guide's English was good, while the other's are working on it, but it wasn't a problem at all. This trip will appeal to those who love the outdoors! Repelling down several waterfalls was exhilarating and walking through the river was just as enjoyable. It was strenuous, but I'm on the older side and had no problems with the activities. The guide took pictures of our experience and gave us a memory card with the pictures that day! After our excursion the guides even offered to take us to a local cafe to try out the local fare. We did and it added to our overall experience. It isn't your typical sightseeing, but it was such a memorable outing. It was great!

Wow, what an awesome experience! The guides were fun an exciting. Safety was top priority. Only one guide spoke English, but it was okay. I would recommend wearing your bathing suit under your clothes before pick up in the morning. The men all wore speedo type suits to easily fit under the wet suit, other things might work too. I wore a one piece suit which I would recommend. I recommend shoes with good tread for griping against wet rock. I used hiking shoes and they were perfect, but they were soaked and took a couple days to dry out. We rapelled 4 or 5 waterfalls and slid down some fun water rapids. They took pictures during the experience but it's been a couple weeks and they have not yet emailed them to me. Overall, I'd say this is a must do for adventure seekers!
