Fun way to be physically active on vacation - The guides are professional and friendly, and made sure we had a good time.
The 3-4 rappell/abseils were exciting and not too difficult.
One of the jumps had to be done with care to not hit underwater rocks, but could be bypassed. The guides were clear about how to do it.
The included equipment (incl canyoning boots) worked well.
Great experience, would recommend.

Abseiling in Madeira - This was the highlight of the holiday, everyone had a great time, you were very active and the instructors were very nice, they also have everything with them if something happens, it is not for people who cannot walk well, as you climbs a lot and must be able to walk well on slippery rocks, you get super good shoes that have a lot of grip so you don't slide away, you have different levels of difficulty Heid and we did level two as beginners and that is easy to do, you also get a competition that is comfortable and we were picked up at our hotel, this is certainly a top experience and a must do if you are in Madeira, we have them people to tip well for this amazing experience, we hope you enjoy it as much as you do.

Great fun with the tour guides - Pedro and Andre ran the tour and they were very helpful, knowledgeable and fun to be around. They made our last day of the trip and we really enjoyed our experience. The scenery is beautiful and it’s great experiencing from a different perspective. It’s catered to beginners, they made it fun for those more comfortable and accommodated to those who needed more help. Great tour guides and a great thing to do in Madeira

Fun morning of adventure! - This was such a fun adventure!
Our guides Andre and Pedro were so nice and explained everything perfectly. I never felt unsafe or nervous at all. It was the perfect amount of excitement. The river is in a beautiful, scenic area, high in the mountains above Funchal.
My husband and I, both 63 yo, are fairly fit and adventurous. The rest of the group included our daughter and other 20-30 year olds.
We kept up with the youngsters but I will admit I was pretty tired at the end.
It was so much fun! I highly recommend this company and this adventure!

Madeira stay - First mother/daughter coastering experience, magnificent. Our two guides, very motivated, competent and in love with their island, were enthusiastic and reassuring while giving us explanations about the wildlife on the rocks and in the water.
We highly recommend this team

canyoning at the top - excellent first canyoning experience. Pedro and Andréia were super friendly and their explanations very clear. Even a little French for our teenager who is hesitant in English.
