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.

  Amazing trip! 4x4 trip is the best. Marco Lopes is really kind, helpful and he is a really good offroad driver! If you have some common sense you should choose... read more this type of sightseeing!

  Thank you Beto and Jerome, I am scared of jump very much and it was challenge to jump into the water , but patience of you helped me make... read more the step.I have a fotos as evidence. Your sense of humor, patience, care and profesionality made this trip!! It was the hit of our vacation in Madeira and one of the best experience of my life!!

  The canyoning with Filipe and Sandro was excellent! It was fun and good experience with them! If we will visit Madeira again, we must try it again.

  We had a great time coastering with Beto and Sandro!! They accommodated both my super adventurous daughter and bit nervous son. Coastering is a great family activity as you... read more can jump from the 10m height, but also have smaller options. Beto and Sandro made it fun for everyone. It was also a unique way to explore this lovely island!

  we had a great day full of fun, and guides very helpful. would recommend to everyone, plenty of laughs and enjoyable people

  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! *

  My boyfriend and I went on a jeep tour with an amazing guide, Vasco, and it was a wonderful experience.
Not only the view was extraordinary, because that’s Madeira, but... read more every detail that Vasco shared with us about the places that we visited, about how people live here and the history of this island.
We had the best Poncha ever!
We will never forget that day, and we will never forget Vasco!
Thank you, Vasco!
And thank you, Discovery Island Madeira for this amazing experience!

  Coastering with instructors Lui and Nunu!

The best moments and impressions of life with daughter together.
