Highlights
  • Cascata do Salto do Cabrito - This excursion starts and finishes at the Salto do Cabrito Waterfall, an amazing place located near to the city of Ribeira Grande and Caldeira Velha in São Miguel Island (+/- 20 minute drive away from the city of Ponta Delgada). When we get there, we will proceed with the equipment distribution and a safety briefing, followed by a walk of around 30 minutes on average until we reach the canyoning site where the fun will begin!

After a new briefing with a few more instructions, we begin the descent of this canyon, passing through several waterfalls and surrounded by the exuberant nature of this volcanic area.
The descent is made through several rappels (between 4 and 16 metres) and for unforgettable moments of fun, there is also the option of a zip-line. The highest rappel is approximately 16 metres and you can optionally make a jump of approximately 3 metres.

NOTE:

Great day! - Such a great day! Started off with a 30-40 minute uphill hike in a wetsuit!! That’s the only part that sucked. Everything else was really fun. We had great weather, the guides were great and they kept us all safe. They even sent us copies of the pics and videos they took throughout the day!

Wonderful experience! - We had to change at the last minute from Salto do Cabrito to Ribeira dos Caldeiroes because of all the rain. We had a great time Canyoning with Diogo and Rodrigo. They did a great job! It was just challenging enough for our group and very safe. We had a blast jumping off the waterfalls. Highly recommend going.
