What an experience!!!! - Basaltic Azores Adventures were amazing. Definitely check them on instagram and message through there to book. Quick response. Easy booking. And then an afternoon of adventure begins for the whole family. What an experience. Thoughtful and friendly guides.

Amazing day, incredible staff, an absolute highlight - We had the best day! I booked this as my almost 10 year old was desperate to try it. His younger sister at 7 is pretty fearless, my husband had no real idea what I had booked and I was terrified! Heights and I are not friends. But this activity was a stand out highlight for us all. Eduardo and Angela gave us so much confidence and were so incredibly kind. I cannot begin to explain how much the two of them made this experience for us all. They gave us all what we needed as individuals, made the day fun and I honestly think will be talked about for a very long time. Cannot wait to see the photos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

If you don't have a fear... - If you don't have a fear of heights, definitely a good experience and beginner friendly. Our group had ziplining, jump from waterfall (not too tall), fairly short rappelling and a final taller jump. I am not a swimmer but they were still accomodating with a life vest. Honestly I think I would have wanted a bit more but with the halfday timeframe and number of people we had to wait for in our group (8 adults and 5 children) it was difficult.

- Canyoning was so much fun. It includes a little bit of everything, a short zip line, jumping off waterfalls, repelling and sliding off rocks into the beautiful river. Evo and Eduardo were very professional and true canyoning experts. They made the event very instructional, fun and safe. Thank you!!!

Family of 5 - We did this excursion with our family of 5, children ages 9, 11 and 13. We had an absolutely amazing week in Lisbon and Azores but this trip was the highlight of our vacation and what the kids speak most about. From repels, to natural waterslides, to jumps we felt safe and well led. The team was incredibly supportive, accommodating, encouraging and patient. There were options if anything felt like too much- my 9 year old has a medium fear of heights (never even liked to be on shoulders) and he rallied to do everything but the last jump. We all had an absolute blast and I very highly recommend this tour. The equipment and gear were comfortable and well maintained. We all wished we could have done it again!
