Great Day Canyoning! - Really fun experience! Ricardo and Guilherme were great guides — helpful, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable, even when I was a bit nervous. We did a mix of jumps, a rappel, hiking, a slide, and a zip line — a great variety and a good time with the group.

Canyoneering - Cannot say enough about our guides Luis and Pedro. Really looked out for my wife who has a fear of heights. They enabled her to overcome some. The beauty of the area was overwhelming. Just wish that I had a camera while doing it. Don't hesitate. We would certainly consider doing it again.

First time canyoning ! - I had such an amazing time canyoning in Ribeira dos Caldeirões! Our three guides were absolutely fantastic – patient, kind, and incredibly supportive throughout the whole experience. As a complete beginner, I was a little nervous at first, but they made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Their encouragement and clear instructions made the adventure not only safe but so much fun. I loved getting to try something new and exciting in such a beautiful setting. Huge thanks to Ines, Teresa and Daniela for making this such a memorable experience! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Super fun adventure - This was super fun! It was also partly a bit scary. Lucky Joao and Gee took us along the path in a good mood and made us feel secure although at least I hesitated some times. Really recommend anyone who feel for an adventure to go for this one.

Excellent canyoneering experience! - We did a private canyoneering session with Guilherme, he was amazing! He was very patient with me during my first canyoneering session, and was very knowledgeable about the island. 10 out of 10 experience!

Ivan and Pedro are the best! - We had a fantastic time canyonyeering with Pedro and Ivan. They were so patient, enthusiastic, and kind. This was our first time canyoneering and both Ivan and Pedro were the best. We highly recommend this canyonyeering tour company and felt so safe with Pedro and Ivan. This was my son’s favorite tour in Portugal.

Must do! - So much fun. You definitely need to be fit and should be able to swim. We did a kind of zip line off a waterfall, went down a natural waterslide, rappelled down a small waterfall, and did a cliff jump. I hate heights and this was all really hard for me, but I love an adventure and I’m so happy I pushed myself. Tip: be in the first 5 people to do each jump/rappel/etc. if you are nervous. The guides were wonderful and so funny, they did a great job of making people feel secure and safe while still keeping it light and fun. I lost the paper with their names, but we were on a morning trip with João, a name that started with a G, and a woman. All 3 were so great and experienced, I wish we had time to do other excursions with them as guides (we heard about a kayaking trip but only had one day left on our trip).
