Great canyoning experience - A very cool and fun tour in a beautiful valley in Madeira! The tour is also well suited for beginners, yet with many great passages and enough adrenaline. Thanks also to the two best guides, Carina and Alex, who made the trip special!

Don't overthink it, just do it! - Absolutely amazing, partly because the canyoning itself is incredibly good fun, but also because our guides - Beto and Carina - were really fun too. They clearly love what they do and it shows. I can't recommend this highly enough and it's incredibly good value for money too, so don't overthink it, just do it!

Fantastic experiences with canyoning! - We had a very nice experience together with our guides. It was a really fantastic first experience for my boyfriend and for me a second time. We really enjoyed it! The pictures taken along the way were also very nice! We have received tips from our guides about 3 food spots on the island that we tried in the days after our canyoning experience, all 3 were very tasty and unique places! Thanks Diogo and Tejo (if I wrote it so well)!

Very good and satisfied! - I was really satisfied and happy because there wereany jumps and high cliffs that I enjoyed jumping down and climbing down! The assistants were also very very nice and fun! I would recommend it for people who don't have any fear of hights or climbing down. But I loved it very much. I would also bring my friends one day and do Canyoning together. 😁

Great guides and spectacular scenery - Can fully recommend this trip. Beto and Carina were both excellent guides, and their good humour and positivity made the experience even more memorable. The terrain itself was absolutely spectacular, and the length and difficulty level felt just right. We were amazed at how warm the equipment kept us, and how comfortable the boots were to walk in. This experience of canyoning was amazing, and definitely a highlight of the holiday - would highly recommend!
