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.

  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!!

  Absolutely Amazing Day Canyoning ❤.

  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!

  An eventful day with a wonderful guide.
The rainforests in the mountains were a great experience.
Madeira in a nutshell makes you want more.

  Absolutely last minute cancellation for coasteering. We were booked on for two people for coasteering, and they accepted the booking.
About a week before, they called us to ask... read more if we can change to a different date, but we had other things planned so we said we couldn't make a different date, and told them that if the trip was going to be cancelled, we should be informed then so we can make alternative plans.

They reassured us "No, no, the date is fine. The activity will go ahead". I called two days before to confirm the pick-up location, and it still sounded like everything was going ahead as before.
Then, at 7pm the evening before the trip (which was due to depart at like 8am the next day), they called to cancel.

Absolutely scummy business, they know that if they cancel at 7pm the day before the activity, all other places will be closed and it's too last minute to organise another activity, so you can't go to another company. Honestly, I understand if they told me a week before that the trip can't go on because of insufficient numbers, but not at the last second.

Avoid this company if you're travelling in small groups during off-peak season.
We went coasteering with Harmony In Nature instead, and they were amazing. We were again the only two people booked on, but they still continued with the activity (which required 2 guides), unlike Discovery Island

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

  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

  Just came back from a 4x4 journey throughout Madeira, it was a awesome experience. Had a great day out. Recommended Matt

  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!
