“We had an excellent time canyoning through the mountains of Madeira with Duarte, our guide, and his team. It was a very professional experience as we went down several cliffs, including a large 20 meter cliff down the side of a waterfall. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience the nature of Madeira.”

Review of Madeira beginner canyoning from Funchal, with waterfall jumps, abseiling, guides, transport, value, tips, and practical details.

“This was a brilliant day out - the guides were fantastic. They were friendly, good humoured, but importantly we felt incredibly safe with them.
