Beginner-friendly canyoning in Madeira with hotel pickup, provided gear, waterfalls jumps and rappels, plus photos after.

“Amazing experience! This was by far my favorite tour I did in my entire Portugal trip, it was the perfect combination of an adventure and gorgeous views of nature. Even in January, it was not too cold. Thiago was a fantastic guide who was just hands on enough to make you feel safe but gave you space to really try doing things yourself. Would 100% go again!”
