Me and my wife did Canyoning with Discovery Island Madeira and it was an amazing experience. The begginer level can be done by anyone. The nature you go through is... read more beautiful and it was so much fun. Especially thanks to our instructors Sandro, Martim and Filipe.

Thank you guys and greetings from Czech Republic, Matěj and Daniela.

  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!

  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

  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.

We... read more took the Level 1 course 4 years ago which was a great intro to this more advanced experience

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.

  Miguel is the best!!!! Very cool!! If your on Madeira check it out! The views were amazing and the driver was very kind.

  Amazong day with an amazing guide. Perfect mood, experiences and places. Thanks to Cisar, Madeira is unforgettable for me

  Amazing experiente with the best team and instructors. Milton and Gomes are the best. Thank you to everyone that share this day with me 🙂

  Great experience and super fun! Guides were really nice, friendly and supportive. They picked us at our hotel so we didn't have any trouble with organization or anything else, they... read more provided everything we needed (we forgot to bring towels, so next time we need to think about that). We enjoyed adrenaline while feeling safe at the same time. We are really happy we decided to do this activity. 100% recommend 🙂

  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!

  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
