We had a half day jeep tour with Discovery Island in the Camara De Lobos area on the island. My partner and I had the jeep to ourselves with our... read more tour guide driving us. Our guide was very nice, and really informative. He took us to get some super, delicious and authentic Poncha at a little bar in the mountains (so cheap too). That was a real highlight. We also stopped for so many amazing views of the mountains and we even went offroading for a bit. We stopped at a fishing village and had some spare time to walk around and finished our day at the Madeira Skywalk (platform with glass floor leading down to the beach).

Our tour was included in our travel package and we enjoyed it thoroughly. They picked us up, and dropped us off at our hotel.

  It was a great pleasure having had this experience. Coasteering is something I always wanted to do and just didn't know the name of the activity. Our guides Beto and... read more Luís have done great and been very good friends and support in every moment of the adventure.
Plus: We got everything we needed, not just equipement and guidance, but addtionally a pick-up from our accommodation and afterwards Beto recommended a very good restaurant where he just brought us. Moreover Luís told us a lot of interesting things regarding flora, fauna and geology of the terrain we were exploring. For me the experience was perfect!

  This experience was brilliant. We had initially looked around so many places and finally discovered discovery island (All the previous were booked up) But they do say everything happens for... read more a reason and we had the best time!

From booking, we received a WhatsApp message asking for our weight and shoe size for our wetsuits.
*Be aware that initially we were under the understanding that our booking was at 09:00 however this was changed to 14:30 (Apparently due to the weather although seemed same throughout the day) and we did not receive a text informing us, we became aware of this when we messaged on WhatsApp to confirm pick up time*
We were picked up and taken to the area where we were given our outfits, got into them and off we went.
The jumps had smaller options so not everyone had to go off the big rocks.
We had Martin and (We can't remember his name oops) and they were both amazing! Very knowledgable and teaching of all the sea creatures and structure of the rocks. Supportive, friendly and kind.
Snickers and water midway which is a pleasant sugar boost.
Finished with a few more jumps and a spot of snorkelling.
They even take pictures on the go pro around the coastline and email them to you for free which again is a bonus.

*Note: Having done a similar experience in UK I was aware about leaving bags in vans at the place where you park and therefore we had taken no money with us. We were gutted and frankly embarrassed that we were unable to tip the men as they were amazing - therefore ensure you take some money for this! *

  We did coasteering and canyoning with Discovery Madeira now in February 2023.
The guides were awesome. Philip, Alex and Sandro. So enthusiastic and helpful. They had everyone screaming with happiness... read more on all the jumps.

Canyoning was the first time for me. It was epic. Definitely recommended experience for everyone to try out. Just make sure you pick the right level. Be true with yourself! There are some high jumps. It was cold, I think the water about 5 degrees. Air temperature about 8. Altitude 1500m+.
But we had 5ml wetsuits, neoprene socks, canyoning boots, helmets, kept us surprisingly warm. Beautiful going down the Ribiero Frío.

Coasteering was amazing the day before. The sea water is about 18 degrees so was a lot warmer!! Air temperature about 16 being by the coast. Awesome jumps. Great scenery. Snorkeling and chocolate bar was a great plus!

Great service & with pick up from hotel.

  Hands down the best experience ever!!! Wow. Madeira was a magical trip and we got to save the best part for last! I’ve never tried or even considered trying canyoning... read more in my life before (I wasn’t even sure what it was haha). For our last day in Madeira, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something different.. canyoning, best decision ever! The experience was challenging, exciting, daring, adventurous but most importantly unforgettable in the best way possible. Sandro & Filipe are hands down the best instructors I’ve ever come across in my entire life! They were so PASSIONATE in what they were doing, so funny so ENTERTAINING and made sure EVERYONE was having a great time! Not to mention they made sure they captured hundreds of photos of our group along the way- which I’m so glad about hehehe! All in all, I 10000000% would recommend canyoning to any couple, friends, family. My boyfriend and l did level 1 together and we’re so glad we got to experience this adventure together, we got to make wonderful memories that we will cherish forever, and that’s all thanks to Sandro and Filipe for everything they’ve done- seriously I cannot thank them or praise them enough! I am looking forward to going for Level 2 in the near future xx

Lots of love,
Maria and Joseph

  Awesome experience, big thanks to Milton and Luis. This place is amazing and the snorkeling at the end makes it even better

  I was a little apprehensive about canyoning but Daniel and Sandro made it so much fun. I had such a fantastic time and would definitely book again maybe doing the... read more next level. The whole experience was so relaxed but professional and would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to have a thrilling experience of canyoning, abseiling and sliding down waterfalls. Can’t wait to see the photos.

  my husband and I did the canyoning experience, with Sandro, Beto and Jerome.
it was the best experience of our 10 days in madeira, they were fantastic guides who made... read more the whole thing so much fun! scenery was beautiful and the whole experience was exhilarating, I'll be looking up canyoning everywhere I go now!
I would say you have to be reasonably brave and able bodied, and you probably wouldn't want to do this if unfit

  An amazing day with Beto and Nuno. The jumps were exhilarating, the scenery stunning and the guides awesome. For the nervous people amongst us they provided reassurance and guidance.... read more We laughed and we cried! Would definitely recommend!

  Today we did a canyoning tour with Discovery Island Madeira and it was fantastic. We did the winter-canyon Ribeiro Frio and the environment was gorgeous. Several abseil waterfalls and... read more jumps. A good idea to do this activity when it rains. Since you're already wet, the rain doesn't bother you and makes the forest look even greener. You feel completely safe because of the experienced guides who take the time to explain everything and check the equipment. The wetsuits and shoes are also of great quality. And above all, it's really fun with guides Sandro, Filipe and "intern" Alex, who should definitely get a contract with a huge salary ;).
