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.

  The canyoning with Filipe and Sandro was excellent! It was fun and good experience with them! If we will visit Madeira again, we must try it again.

  It was a wonderful time! Alex and Filip are the best we laughed all the time and it made this experience even more memorable.

  Fantastic trip - west Madera. Very exciting. Atmosphere was friendly. Vieves were beautyfull. Miguel is realy positive person.

  I have visited Madeira numerous times, and done canyoning and coasterring with discovery island which were brilliant and I couldn't fault it. So this year I decided to go kayaking... read more with my son. Different experience as the we were put with another company Madeira Sea Emotions. The instructor did not introduce himself or bother to know our names. The info during the trip was limited, we had a rough beach landing where I injured my shin and then the staff disappeared and left us to work out which boat to catch back to the Marina. I've tried to complain to Discovery Island about this but they have failed to respond. Won't be using them again!

  I booked and paid for a sunrise tour on August 26, 2022. I received an email confirmation of my payment but nothing else about pick-up time or location. I called... read more the tour operator to ensure I was confirmed for the tour (scheduled on September 3, 2022). I was reassured that my booking was confirmed. I asked about the pick-up time but was told I’ll receive information the day before the tour starts. I got a phone call the day prior to the tour informing me that the tour was canceled due to not enough participants. Canceling my tour the day before it starts is a big inconvenience because I’m on holiday for one week on this island, and one day is such short notice (and impossible) for me to book another tour. Very frustrated!

  3rd trip with these guys in 3 years. Always use them for adventure activities. They are excellent. This time I did coasteering with me 11 year old daughter. Everything about... read more the trip was fantastic. Sando and Beto were fab guides and were great with my little girl who was a little nervous. Fully recommend!

  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

  I couldn’t recommend the canyoning more. Sandro and Alex were amazing - clear with their instructions and very supportive. I was a bit nervous getting started but I felt so... read more safe and had the best time. I will definitely come back for level 2 one day! Thank you for an amazing time!

  If you want one of the most fun, professional and memorable experiences in Madeira, please go with these guys! They rock. I have visited Discovery Island Madeira a few times... read more now, to go canyoning, coasteering, hiking and also enjoy the full day jeep tour. Customer service is just in their DNA, they truly want the best for each client, and it shows. You feel like you are in the company of good friends from the start with a warm welcome. They are super passionate about Madeira and adventure, and they always make me feel safe during their activities.

I'd 100% suggest these guys - give them a go when you visit!
