Fantastic experience, worth every penny! We were picked up from the hotel, not knowing what to expect, initially thinking the Jeep ride was a little expensive; it is without doubt... read more the best way to experience all the different microclimates of Madeira.

Our local guide, Antonio, was full of interesting facts and extremely accommodating. We even stopped for some poncha at a great bar off the tourist track (highly recommended!).

Even if it’s cloudy, don’t be put off as the weather changes from one area of the island to another and if there are clouds on the peaks, it’s still breathtaking.

  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:-)

  We did a canyoning tour with a group of 16 people from Weroad. Sandro and Filipe were simply excellent. They made sure everybody had fun, always keeping an eye on... read more safety.
Definitely recommended!

  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!

  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.

  Absolutely amazing experience, everyone should try it. Marco is a great driver and a very very very good guy! We enjoyed his guide so much! Thanks for this day one... read more more time!

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

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

  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!

  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! *
