Beautiful! - Beautiful family experience! Dinis Scouted us to canyoning with great kindness, a lot of benevolence and all in safety. Slides, waterfalls, small and large jumps in the clear white waters of the river near the canyoning center. Nature is very beautiful and preserved. Dinis even reserves some surprises... to discover them do not hesitate to go there 😉

Star canoeing in family - I loved the experience. I felt super safe, because the monitor (Dinis) explained everything super well and in case of fear still did as a psychologist. I highly recommend especially for families

Matias - Matias did an amazing job leading us on our first canyoning adventure. He ensured that everybody has fun (and there was a wide range of ages and adventure levels!) and pushed us to our limits - safely! He is a great physiologist and helped the group bond as well. A really good time and a great guide that I would recommend to anybody!

Canyoning fenomenal - Adventure and amazing views, the instructors Dinis and Duarte passed us a lot of safety and were very friendly 😊
It is necessary to have a minimum of physical conditioning.

Amazing canyoning experience with Ramon and Simone - Ramon and Simone did an excellent job guiding us along this canyoning for beginners. The route is very well designed, as you do not have to walk long to arrive, nor to return. We had the opportunity to try some jumps, slides and even a little rapel. Always under the supervision of the monitors and while they were taking pictures of the members of the group. Very good first experience!
