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! *

  Amazing and friendly instructors! Wonferful extreme experience with teens, beautiful blue water and stunning cliffs view! One of the best activities to do in Madeira

  If there was an option for 10 stars we would

The pick up was prompt and the journey was luxurious in a Mercedes van. Both Sandro and Filipe... read more were friendly and funny!

The journey up took about 30 minutes, when we got there we got changed in to our kit and got back in the van to the start. Definitely wear swimwear under your clothes for a quick and easy change.

We were shown how to use the ropes and we began. Even though this was the beginner option it was not slow or overloaded with instructions. We were explained how to keep ourselves safe and most importantly enjoy the experience.

The first waterfall decent was compulsory and a great way to build confidence. The first part of the route was 'more walking' but we didn't notice as it was still full of jumps and abseils.

The second part was more action packed, with slides, jumps and consecutive abseils. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and the two guides made it exceptional. They were very laid back and kept us all laughing in many different ways.

They showed us how to jump in to the pools to ensure we felt safe enough to go for it. There was another trip ahead of us and the one time we saw them on the waterfall they did not seem to be having as much fun as we were!!!

I would 100% recommend this company, not just for the journey, equipment or location but the two guides who made our day perfect. My only regret, we didn't do this sooner on our trip. If we could, we would go again tomorrow.

They also took photos throughout and emailed them to us within 4 hours of the trip finishing. They made sure to capture everyone's enjoyment and have meant we have lovely memories to look back on.

Thank you Sandro and Filipe, we appreciate your hard work to make sure we had a great time.

If we come back to madeira, we will be seeing you both again. Love, Diba and Danni

  The guides are the bests. This journey was the Highlight on Madeira and on AIDA. Sure I will take it again.

  Daniel and Sandro made what was a great experience, one of the best I’ve ever had. The challenges for beginners were perfect, fun and thrilling. Everything felt and well organised... read more from the pick-up to the technical abseiling and jumping. We did 6 abseils, 3 jumps and 3 shoots. People with fear were treated with care and given time, people without fear were allowed to challenge themselves. I would recommend this brilliant company to anybody looking far a fun adventure in Madeira.

  Although we had done canyoning before, we accidentally booked the beginners experience, and we were a bit worried that it might not be challenging enough, especially for our 15 and... read more 18 year old sons. Also, the group consisted of about 16 people, and we prepared ourselves for a lot of waiting.
However, once we got underway, we were pleasantly surprised - although the course was not super challenging, it was far from boring, and we had a lot of fun. Also, the guides worked together very efficiently, so that the group could keep moving for most of the course.
But what really made it go from good to awesome was the interaction with our guides, Beto, Filipe and Jerome. They were very clear with their instructions, taking safety very seriously, but also constantly joking around, chatting with everyone, playful with the kids but just as much with the adults in the group. If anyone was scared to do something, they would encourage and help, but there was usually also an easier way of doing something, and they never forced it.
We would all highly recommend this tour, big kudos and thank you to the guides for making it awesome!!

  I experienced for the first time canyioning with Discovery Island Madeira: I have to tell the truth, until the day before I was not well informed about what exactly it... read more was, it was part of an organized trip package: so it was a surprise, dare I say a beautiful surprise: I discovered a world, I felt free, regenerated, charged and relaxed like never before! Beto and Nuno were exceptional .. now I would like to try canyoning in my home too .. but will I find such exceptional professionals? I hope I can meet them again to experience all those emotions and the feeling of extreme freedom! thank you guys !!

  Off-roading with Antonio was great! Lots of fun! Highly recommend it. Learned a lot about Madeira and saw beautiful places.

  Coasteering was a whole new concept for me and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. A bit of climbing, different rocks to jump off from and finally a... read more bit of snorkeling which was very much appreciated after all of this big overcoming-of-myself-feeling and adrenaline. Instructors Beto and Luis were a big part of this experience. They made everyone feel safe, but I guess this is what you anyway expect. But that they are also funny and witty in the best sence is a pure bonus.

(Also I'm expecting Beto to remember the most important Estonian words as I hope many Estonians will find you.)

Thank you!

  Today me and my family went for a jeep ride. The tour was excellent as well as the guide, Marco. We saw some breathtaking views, such as the Fanal forest... read more or Porto Moniz. The tour was over 8 hours and for the whole time our guide was keeping us interested. He told us few wise stories and answered all of my question. I spent really great time and i think it's highly reccomended experience for everyone!
