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.

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

  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!!

  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! *

  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.

  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

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

  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.
