Client Testimonials
Thanks to Ivone and Gonzalo for leading us safe and sound through the canyon "Rivero Frio" (right spelling?). It was my first experience in canyoning and I felt well prepared by our guides and they were never in a hurry. Hope to see you guys again and lots of luck with "West Side Madeira"!
Obrigado and take care...

thanks for the nice experience!
I’ve been going Canyoing in several places in Europe now. Never have I had such a passionate and charismatic guide like Ivone. Together with Gonzalo they make a great team. They’re structured and prepared and keep everyone motivated in a big group. After a session they don’t just say goodbye but are open for a chat and provided a few snacks for us.
If you stop by in Madeira and you wanna have a great time hit them up!
Glad to come again some day.

What is canyoning exactly?
Canyoning combines hiking, swimming, jumping into pools, and rappelling down waterfalls.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Basic swimming ability helps, but we provide flotation gear and the guide will assist you through all water sections, just make sure you let us know before the first pool.
What should I bring?
Bring a swimsuit, towel, and dry clothes for after the activity. We’ll provide wetsuits, helmets, harnesses, and canyoning shoes.
Can kids do canyoning?
Yes, we have family-friendly canyoning (Level 1) tours designed for children aged 6 and up, with easy jumps and shallow waters.
What about the jumps—are they mandatory?
Not at all. Every jump has an alternative way down—either a walk or a rappel. Your guide will always offer options.
How long does a canyoning tour last?
Most tours range from 3 to 5 hours depending on the canyon that you choose. We’ll let you know exact timing when you book.
Do I need to be very fit to go canyoning?
Not necessarily, we offer canyoning routes for all levels. A basic level of fitness and comfort in the water and hiking is helpful, but you don’t need to be an athlete.
Is the water cold?
It can be, depending on the season and location, but we provide thick neoprene wetsuits, socks, and gloves when needed to keep you warm and comfortable all the way.
Can I wear glasses or contact lenses?
Yes, but with caution. If you wear glasses, we recommend using a secure sports strap. Contacts are generally okay, but it’s best to use daily disposables just in case they get wet or washed out. Please note that we are not responsible for any losses.
Can I bring a GoPro or waterproof camera?
Definitely, as long as it’s securely mounted (like a helmet or chest strap). Please note that we are not responsible for any losses.
