- 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).

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.

Highly recommend!! - We had a wonderful experience. Diogo and Teresa were our guides, and they were very safely conscious, explained how to do every activity very well, and were a lot of fun to be around. They made everyone feel good, told us all we did great even if we probably didn’t :) Actually we had a great group and we all got along very well. The activity is a lot of fun!! Definitely a bucket list thing for us. Also, the equipment was in good shape—our wetsuits and boots fit—very important to get that right for sure. I have nothing but good things to say about these guys and the canyoning experience. Try it—you won’t regret it.

Awesome adventure off the beaten path - Such an awesome experience with fantastic guides. Beautiful scenery and so much fun rapelling and zip lining! The best part was rapelling down though a waterfall! The crew always made us feel safe and have a keen ability to judge the comfort and ability of their guests. Top notch company and crew!

Canyoning - Canyoning was great! Absolutely beautiful location and the guides did a great job of making us feel safe/secure while rappelling and ziplining down 15m+ tall waterfalls.

Top experience of the vacation! - This excursion was incredible! I cannot recommend it highly enough. It was exhilarating and requires you to be somewhat physically fit, but I loved that the guides made sure we felt safe the entire time. It was my first time canyoning, and I already want to go again. If you’re looking for something adventurous on your holiday, look no further.

Awesome guides, beautiful canyon, exciting activity - The boys at Fun Activities made this a day to remember. Booking was easy, communication about gear size was prompt, and details about the meetup place and time were easy to follow.
The canyoning itself was super fun with different styles of challenge throughout including cruising through the river itself, cliff jumps, rappelling waterfalls and a surprise zip-line.
As a newbie to harnesses and abseiling, the guys were super clear with instructions, generous with tips on technique, and made each portion easy, fun and SAFE!
Highly recommend. We had a great time!!
