A must in Madeira if you are not afraid to get wet :) - Super experience, enjoyed every minute, even though the air temperature in the morning was +6 degrees :) Safe and enjoyable with professional guides!

Perfect first canyoning experience - 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.

Best day! fun and adventure - 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 😊

Simply a class entry into canyoning - It was a great experience and a good introduction to canyoning. The guides were absolutely top and mega supportive. They helped where there were problems or let go when they realized it will be fine. That's great. And if you ask, they also like to tell you about insider spots and other things.
In short - Just great
Special thanks again for the accommodation regarding the appointment ;)

Booked a trip to Madeira just to do this! - 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!

Such a fun activity! - 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!

Excellent Unique Experience - 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!

Daniel was an amazing... - 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!

Do not book - To book, you have to enter your weight, height, and shoe size. I got picked up in my hotel in Funchal, brought all the way up north, to find out that they did not bring a suit my size. I’m 5’6 and 220 pounds but have about an average build. I just went surfing the day before and that company brought a wet suit that fits and ive never not been able to participate in activities because of my size. Shocking. Even the socks didn’t fit. To make matters worse, they didn’t bring me back to my hotel. They dropped me off at a random bar even further north for me to fend for myself. I had to wait almost two hours to finally be able to catch a taxi back home and spent 20 euros. Whole waste of my day and ruined the planning of my trip. The “manager” called me & was so rude - she needs a class on customer service. Her immediate response was to say it wasn’t their fault when it 1000% was and tried to fight me on a refund! Which i still haven’t received. Even told me to “calm down” when i was calm?! So bizarre and heinous to treat people like that
