What a fantastic experience! The guides were knowledgeable and helpful. I am a relatively fit 57 years old female, and always felt safe under their guidance. This was a thrilling way to experience the Azores, and I would highly recommend this tour to others who are seeking adventure.

Great trip. Will be a highlight. Incredible surroundings. My family loved it. Exciting trip through the lush landscape with rappels and jumps that will excite all. Fun for those with canyoneering experience as well. Our guides were awesome. They love their jobs and it showed through their experience and enjoyment of canyoneering. Highly recommend.

This was our first canyoning tour and we really enjoyed it. Due to the weather situation we had to take a different route than originally planned, but it was non the less a great experience. The size of the group was small therefore we ever had to wait long for everyone to catch up. Our guides were amazing. They made us feel safe throughout the tour and explained everything well. They also gave lots of background information about the area and the Azores in general. We definitely recommend a tour with this company.

My wife, teenage daughter and me had a great experience. I was afraid of heights but the guides made me feel safe enough to zip line, abseil and jump off a cliff even though there were options to avoid any of the challenges. A morning we will never forget in the beautiful Azores! The guides were fun but serious when they needed to be. Always felt safe!

Our guides Rodrigo & Daniela were absolutely amazing! They were super knowledgable about the history of the island, answered all of our questions, made sure we were safe and were extremely friendly. Overall we really enjoyed our excursion!
FYI the water is cold in April so be prepared, and the half day is the perfect amount. This tour is no joke if you're not in good shape
