FANTASTIC - YOU CANNOT MISS 🎉 ✨ - Me and my partner tried the beginner lever canyoning as I've abseiled a bit in the past but wanted a challenge. This was the BEST part of our trip so far!! We were just smiling and laughing the whole time. Our two guides Mauro and Ika were faultless. We all felt safe, fully informed, well guided and supported through all the beautiful areas, dips, crossings and waterfalls through this incredible canyon. Even with one girl who slightly hurt her foot, they were so kind, patient and supportive making sure she got down slowly and safely with the group without any further worry. She was smiling so much at the end! We were all laughing, cheering and supporting each other as a group so you get this amazing feel to it as you go. Even if you're slightly fearful of heights or water like some of our group were, they make you feel so at ease even with the jumps, slides and dips that we didn't think we could even do!! Me and my partner were smiling and laughing the whole way as it was a first for us both and the guides will take so many amazing pictures for you and show you where to pose! Our advice would be, bring a sense of fearlessness, bring that trust and depency in them as you'd just hold yourself back otherwise. Nevertheless as a beginner course it was still so exhilarating and fun, we even did slides and jumping into the water! We were so proud at the end and our guides got us together for a big group photo and kept calling us their family!! Tips I'd share is wear your swimwear underneath and the changing area is sort of out in the open on the side of a road so bring a towel for modesty if you prefer!! Don't bother with phones, watches etc you won't need them! Your things are safely kept in designated numbered bags by the host and he keeps these safe and makes sure they're there at the end. You go to a little bar area at the end when you're finished which has a toilet but otherwise you do have to hold pee most of the way. Be ready! As amongst the actual canyoning there were climbs, walks and traversing across streams, slippery rocks etc so definitely bring your energy but it was SO WORTH IT! We could not stop saying how amazing it was and how we couldn't have done it without the support of our guides and such a wonderful group so Thank you, I would give this 11/10 if I could and I genuinely have no complaints (other than the wetsuits initially do feel a bit icky when they go on... But will feel so comfortable when you're in the cold water!) Be fearless, go for it, I would recommend this to anyone wanting to feel so at nature in Madiera and pushing themselves to their limits! Thank you so much Mauro and Ika! ❤️

An absolute must do in Madeira with the best guides ever, Mauro and Ika🤙🏻 - If I could give a 10 star review, I would. Mauro and Ika were absolutely incredible. I felt safe and comfortable throughout. They were warm funny and friendly and it just felt like I was doing a fun experience with some friends. Suzie and I loved it, we had the best time and our bus driver too sorry I forget your name but a lovely man. This is a must do experience in Madeira and such insane value for money. Thanks guys you were amazing. Much love❤️

Fantastic experience from... - Fantastic experience from start to finish. The team reached out via WhatsApp in advance of the activity so that everything was clearly laid out. The canyoning itself was extremely fun - some walking, rappelling, natural slides and jumps. The staff were fun & friendly; and the entire operation felt safe. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience. - My 8-year-old son and I have had a fantastic experience. We definitely recommend Be Local! We were in a small group of 10 people, so we could continue and there was personal attention. The communication beforehand was clear and fast. The journey was not too difficult for my son and where he wished he had the choice to skip a part. We had a really great morning. Be Local thanks!
