For Canyoning lovers - The canyoning adventure was extraordinary! Descending the remote stream, we had an adrenaline-filled experience with 5 jumps and 2 rappels into emerald lagoons, surrounded by lush greenery. The two guides were great - so helpful, fun, and made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommend for an adventure in a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path setting!

Highlight of our 11-day trip to Sao Miguel - This canyoning was probably the highlight of our 11-day trip to Sao Miguel. I should note that due to some logging operations around Ribeira da Salga, Joao (lead guide) coordinated us to canyon instead on the Salto do Cabrito trek instead, which was wonderful. It was just my girlfriend and I along with Joao, one of his other guides also named Joao, and a third guide named Luis. So two of us, and three of them!! Amazing time. They made it extremely fun, kept us safe, and took some amazing pictures and videos of our trip that I know we will cherish. Very customer oriented and the small group aspect shouldn't be overlooked. You can't go wrong with this outfit, especially with Joao leading the way! Do this!!

A Thrilling Adventure of a Lifetime! - I can't express enough how incredible our canyoning experience tour was in the Azores! It was hands down the highlight of our entire trip, and my son couldn't contain his excitement throughout the entire adventure. From the moment we met our guide João and Rodrigo, it was clear that we were in for a fantastic time. Their professionalism and expertise immediately put us at ease. Safety was their top priority, and they took the time to explain all the necessary precautions and equipment. As a parent, this was extremely reassuring. But it wasn't just about safety – our guide's passion for canyoning was infectious, and their sense of humor added an extra layer of enjoyment. They managed to strike the perfect balance between keeping us safe and entertained. It was evident that they had extensive experience and knew the ins and outs of the activity. The canyoning itself was an absolute blast! The Azores provided a stunning backdrop for our adventure, with breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters. The variety of challenges in the canyons kept us engaged and excited. From rappelling down waterfalls to navigating through narrow passages, every moment was an adrenaline rush. What truly stood out was our guide's patience. They made sure that everyone in the group felt comfortable and confident, regardless of their skill level. No question was too silly, and they were always ready to offer assistance or guidance when needed. As a parent, seeing my son's face light up with joy at every twist and turn was priceless. The memories we created during this canyoning tour will stay with us forever. If you're in the Azores or planning a trip there, I wholeheartedly recommend booking this canyoning experience. It's an adventure that combines the perfect mix of excitement, natural beauty, safety, and laughter. A massive thank you to our guide João and Rodrigo for making this an unforgettable experience! We're already counting down the days until we can do it again.

A really special memory, with a great company!! - It was wonderful from start to finish! Jaoa the guide collected me from my hotel and made me feel safe and welcome from the first moment. When we began the activity, Jaoa had the perfect combination of humour and focus on safety, making me feel in great hands. The activity itself could be quite physically demanding at times, as you climb the steep canyon paths, which can be slippery (so definitely consider your fitness levels before beginning). At each jump, traverse or slide we were given an ‘opt out’ version and while everyone encouraged each other, no one was pressured to do anything they weren’t comfortable with. I would highly recommend canyoning and especially Splash Azores (and Jaoa and his assistant) to anyone looking for a bit of adventure on their holiday to Sao Miguel!!

Didn’t live up to their promise - This review is for the company and not the experience. Communication with João was initially good. I booked in April and João told me that if they were still cutting trees in Ribeira da Salga, he would take us to a different canyon instead, no problem with a different iron, he would make it work. He didn’t respond to my questions the day before my tour, even though he saw them on What’s App. He cancelled due to safety concerns, but what about the different canyon that he promised? He never did reach out and apologize. I went canyoning with a different company today and had a great time. Ironically, João’s company was also at the canyon, so obviously there were no safety concerns. He could have changed the itinerary like he promised, he just chose not to.
