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

Me and my partner did the beginner session, which was both challenging and fun.... read more What really make this company special is the team. 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.

  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!

  What an amazing experience with an awesome support team! Would repeat without hesitate. Keep the good work. ❤️

  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! *

  A whole day with Marco Lopes was amazing (4x4 jeep trip)!!! He was very friendly and he showed us many places. Definitely recommend him and this company 🙂 we had... read more a great time 🙂

  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!

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

  Antonio our tour guide & fabulous driver gave us two amazing trips around the beautiful island of Madeira.
His knowledge of the island was exceptional and his friendly happy... read more demeanour made our experience very special.
The tours themselves offered great variety and fun off road experience. We felt that we really got to see some of the beautiful scenery the island has in abundance.
We highly recommend the trips with discovery island but Antonia made the trips even more memorable.
We only wish we could see more.

  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.

  the cliff jumping was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done, and I would totally recommend it! the guides were amazing and took lovely pictures to remember the trip.... read more great way to experience Madeira and its nature!
