Great fun & adventure - Had a great time with Ivo & Luis. They were fun, obviously knew what they were doing (they watched Youtube the day before) and made us feel like we owned it. If I can do it, you can too! Enjoy!

Amazing activity to have for first time visitors - It was a fun activity where we challenged ourselves and got out of our comfort zones. Our instructors were super helpful and knowledgeable, and they helped us face our fears through jokes and good humor. The water was very cold though, even in May

So fun! - This was a whole lot of fun! We were also excited and it lived up to the hype! It’s definitely a lot more uphill hiking than it talks about, but it was all pasted well and super fun and absolutely beautiful, and definitely worth it to be able to jump and repel all the way down :-)

Was a wonderful experience. - Was a wonderful experience. The nature around was beautiful, we had a feel of going through the jungle. It is not a traditional canyoning, you don't get inflatable boats, it is mostly about climbing and sliding waterfalls. Was very fun, the instructors were knowledgeable and very pleasant. Would recommend for both total beginners (as the trail is easy) and medium level (just for fun of it)

Must try canyoning - My husband and I are “older” first time canyoners. What a great way to spend half a day for those who want a little something different. The hike up the trail, rappelling down the waterfall, jumping from the waterfall and sliding down were all so much fun! Hugo and Scarlett helped us navigate the experience and safety was the number one priority. Don’t hesitate to try something new!

Fun family activity - Great activity for adventurous families in a beautiful environment. Well organized by 2 friendly and knowledgeable guides. They add a touch of humor, never force you into anything and we did not feel unsafe at any time. Our 11 year old son absolutely loved this and it was his highlight of our trip to Sao Miguel.
