Amazing canyoning in Sao Miguel, the Azores - We had an amazing time with the team from Fun activities! We’re a family of six, four kids age 9-15, three of whom had never done a canyoning before. The guides were very professional, and although they tried to put everyone at ease using humor, safety always came first. They gave very clear explanations on what to do or not to do, using gestures so even the kids who didn’t understand English understood quite well. They encouraged everyone to take the decents, jumps and slides, with a lot of patience. All the guides went the extra mile to make this experience worthwhile and unforgetable, and the succeeded very much in doing so!

Great Canyoning Experience - It was an amazing trip with our experienced guides Diogo and Guilherme. They gave us good instructions, took care about everyone in the small group, and showed us the amazing nature in the canyon. They were always open for a chat to give us more information about canyoning and the Azores, and made some jokes to ensure we had a fun time.

A perfect canyoning experience in São Miguel - Looking for the perfect canyoning experience in São Miguel? This is it. We went with Fun Activities in Ribeira da Salga – a lush, hidden stream that only they guide. Imagine water park meets jungle: two big rappels (one over 20m!), four smaller ones, three jumps, and barely a dull moment in between. Our 16yo and 18yo boys, no strangers to adrenaline, were buzzing from start to finish – and a 60+ couple in the group with us was just as excited (age is just a number). The setting? A green canyon draped in ferns and streaming water, completely cut off from the island’s bustle. The guides? Teresa Henriques and Diogo Estevam – the perfect mix of fun and ultra-professional. Leading the group smoothly through the canyon without compromising safety for even a second. The operation? Safety lines in place along the route, gear in top condition, everyone kitted out in under 10 minutes. I’ve done canyoning before – never with this level of professionalism. Thrill. Beauty. Professionalism. This trip has it all. Book it – you’ll thank yourself later.
