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!

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!

Out of our Comfort Zone & Loving it !!

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!!

Truly an epic experience!!

Brett_S, Apr 2024

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!

Loved it!

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...

Paige_C, Dec 2023

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!

Amazing experience with great guides

Jack_H, Nov 2023

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.

A must do experience
