Relax on the river - There was maximum security, the monitors were always very explicit, friendly and attentive to anyone.
This activity was very relaxing, fun and refreshing.
Even though it has been done twice there are no disappointments.
There is no criticism to add.
An incredible, adrenaline-filled activity!
An experience to repeat again!

Ideal to start canyoning - We did the activity with our 9 and 12 year old daughters and it was our first time. Ideal for beginners in canyoning and suitable for children of that age. The monitors are very friendly. It was a 100% recommended experience

Canyoning route - The monitors Filipe and Hélder were very friendly throughout our Canyoning route, they encouraged the entire group to participate at all times and demystified all the fears that arose during it. They explained very well all the steps we needed to take, always ensuring our safety. One of the great advantages of choosing this company is that a photographic and videographic record of the most emblematic moments of the route is carried out. In short, I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a moment of adventure to get to know the Peneda-Gerês natural park better!
