Review of Madeira Level One canyoning, with waterfall rappels, natural slides, gear, guides, price, fitness needs, and booking tips.

“We went in a friend group for our first canyoning experience, and it was amazing. Ronaldo and Honorio were THE BEST guides we could have hoped for, they had an amazing energy, friendly, professional, patient when needed and helpful and clearly knew what they were doing. They also explained the techniques and the jumps in a very clear way. There were a couple of families on the trip with smaller children and they also handled the kids amazingly, so I would recommend too if you are going as a family.

“I knew that I wanted my first canyoning experience to be with Azorean Active Blueberry because of their online reviews. They exceeded my expectations in so many ways. They made everyone feel comfortable, it never felt rushed, and each participant was encouraged and cheered at every level. I was picked up at my apartment and what a blessing that was! It gave me a half hour of the best conversation with two of the most genuine and caring people that I have met, Carla and Filipe. And because of their calm, reassuring nature, everyone was so relaxed and we all bonded easily. We cheered each on, we became invested in…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 407 reviews · 6 hours · from $115

Review of Porto’s Gerês National Park canyoning trip, with swimming, jumps, slides, ziplining, abseiling, gear, transfers, and practical tips.

“EXCELLENT! The trip was beautiful, challenging (for a novice), and memorable. Pick-up was easy, convenient. Instructions were clear and safety prioritized with excellent equipment provided. We were by far the slowest in the group but Miguel was very patient and made the whole group feel included and took extra time to ensure our (previously) injured one was keeping up. He also made opportunites for the stronger ones to have more challenges. Lots of great pictures and videos included which has been great to look back on.”
