  Canyoning with discovery island Madeira was the highlight of our trip to the island!

Sandro, Bruno and Jerome were fantastic with our group of 12. Brought so much fun, laughters and safety to the whole day. Lots of pictures taken throughout which were shared the same evening, only regret is that we didn’t do this earlier in the week to do another session with them before we left.

  Coasteering is a blast. The team was great. Luis, Martin, Nunu and Ana all deserve a huge thanks. I had a little trouble with the hike down... read more (and up) and they helped me all the way. This is a fun adventure, but physically challenging. They included all the gear and photos. It is a great experience. You must be a confident swimmer!

  We had two 4x4 tours planned and after seeing East with Cesar we've asked for him for our West trip. He is very professional but at the same time funny.... read more You can feel his passion for Madeira and he knows how to entertain you. Also the best driver I have met.
When we will be back on Madeira it will be for the views, poncha and Cesar:-)

  The canyoning trip was fantastic. Our guides Ivone and Alex made us feel very welcome and made it one of the best days we experienced in Madeira.

  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.

  Second time doing canyoning, but this time with Alex and Sandro was much better. We did the second level - moderate and we had more waterfalls. Also, the guys took... read more care of us and we had plenty of fun.

  An adrenaline fuelled trip - beautiful scenery, abseiling, jumping, clambering over rocks and dips in cold running water. Wetsuits, boots, helmets provided. Safe but good level of challenge.

Excellent guides (three for a party of nine), made a real effort to make sure we had a great day. Over 600 excellent photos taken by the guides as a great memento of our journey down the river. The age of participants varied from 23 to 59, all of us had a reasonable level of fitness.

  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 ;).

  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! *
