Excellent, well run, memorable experience. - Excellent half day canyoning experience with Discovery Island. Tiago and Hugo were superb instructors, all the kit seemed new and they were very safety conscious. You need to be fit and supple, able to listen and follow instructions, but all in all this was a top hole experience, thoroughly recommended.

An awesome half-day experience and introduction to canyoning in a fabulous location - Wonderful experience in a beautiful part of the world - our excellent guides Tiago, Thomas and Carina were really encouraging and helpful, particularly with 2 members of our party who were somewhat afraid of heights, and made the whole experience great fun. The route was interesting and varied, and a great introduction to canyoning, with jumps, abseils and slides. The equipment was really good, and the transfers to/from the location with the guides/Carlos were like a mini-tour of the area, which was fantastic!

Unforgettable experience - We had a great time canyoning in Madeira! From start to finish, the tour was perfectly organized. Our guides, Tiago and Vitor, were absolute professionals – at the same time very competent and safety-conscious, but also super friendly entertainers. The atmosphere in our small group was fantastic, we laughed an incredible amount and enjoyed every minute. The mix of adventure, nature experience and fun was simply unbeatable. We can recommend the tour without restriction and would book here again at any time. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!
