This was the BEST thing we did on our trip exploring Portugal! - This was the BEST thing we did on our trip exploring Portugal! I couldn't recommend it more! It was our first time, so we were nervous to do level 2, but we had done a beginners ropes course before, and Daniel, our guide, made us feel so comfortable and safe the entire time. The only other people in our group was a lovely couple from the UK, so it was Intimate and we were able to watch and learn from the guide about canyoning and Madeira. I recommend going to the pick up spot instead of driving, as the roads are small, winding and you'd have to go all the way up the island. This adventure is great for everyone at any skill level, as long as you're not too afraid of heights. The hike back up to the top is less than 15 minutes and very manageable, even if you haven't hiked in years. Daniel, our guide, took great photos and videos of us along the way that we'll cherish forever! We can't wait to come back for level 3!

Canyoning in Madeira really roped us in — we fell head over heels (and waterfalls)! - An incredible experience for the two of us! As an active couple, we loved every second—from rappelling down waterfalls to swimming through canyon pools. It was thrilling without feeling overwhelming. Our guide was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole group feel like a team. The vibe was fun, the views were jaw-dropping, and it was absolutely worth the price. We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Small group cannoying with great guide - One of the greatest activities we did on Madeira. Smooth check-in, meet up and security briefing with a small group unlike some of the other tours we saw… Daniel was a lovely guide very experienced and most importantly passionate about cannoying! Very straight forward approach and easy to learn from Daniel. We heard other groups where the guide would scream at the people, while Daniel was calm which reduced stress and made this experience so much enjoyable!

Awesome Experience! - Daniel and Fabricio were great guides! Their instructions were clear and they made the experience safe yet fun. We booked a level 2 tour and ended up doing a mixture of both level 1 and 2 tours. My next trip back to Madeira I will definitely love to do level 3. Thank you for the memorable experience!
