Canyoning trio with wetsuits and helmets thorough rivers and streams lots of jumping and reeling through water very fun - Our excursion with star canyoning was utterly superb. From the beautiful vistas to the exhilarating slides, jumps, and rappels. Star canyoning gave us all we could have asked for and more. Our guides Christopher, Silvano, and Elijeu were incredibly welcoming, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Christopher led us on our journey each step of the way ensuring that all members of our party were safe and enjoying themselves. We had a bundle of laughs and many shouts of exuberance to boot. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime and one that me and my family will never forget. I cannot thank Christopher, Silvano, and Elijeu enough for this endeavor. A nossa excursão com a Star Canyoning foi absolutamente soberba. Desde as belas vistas aos emocionantes escorregas, saltos e rapel, a Star Canyoning proporcionou-nos tudo o que poderíamos ter pedido e muito mais. Os nossos guias Christopher, Silvano e Eliijeu foram incrivelmente acolhedores, encorajadores e experientes. O Christopher guiou-nos em cada passo da viagem, garantindo que todos os elementos do nosso grupo estavam seguros e a divertir-se. Demos muitas gargalhadas e muitos gritos de euforia. Foi realmente a aventura de uma vida, uma que eu e a minha família jamais esqueceremos. Não tenho palavras para agradecer ao Christopher, ao Silvano e à Eliijeu por esta empreitada.

- We had an amazing canyoning tour with our guide Chris! He was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the area, and made the whole adventure fun and engaging. What really stood out was how great he was with kids – patient, encouraging, and always in a good mood. The atmosphere throughout the tour was fantastic, and we felt safe and well taken care of at all times. It was a unique and memorable experience we won’t forget anytime soon. The entire team at the center was also incredibly kind and welcoming – you feel right at home from the start. Huge thanks for this awesome day – we’ll definitely be back! 👏💦
