Canyoning Experience in Ribeira dos Caldeirões Sao Miguel -Azores

This was, without question, one of the highlights of our trip to São Miguel. A huge thank you to our incredible guides—Diana, Claudio, and João. They were knowledgeable, professional, encouraging, and made every single person in the group feel safe and supported throughout the entire experience. I’ll admit that when I first put on the wetsuit, I felt surprisingly anxious. I’d never worn one before, and the tightness made me a little uncomfortable. The guides immediately noticed, reassured me that those feelings were completely normal, and reminded me that once we started hiking and got into nature, I’d feel much better. They were absolutely right. Their calm confidence made all the difference, and within a short time I was completely enjoying myself. The canyoning adventure itself was unforgettable. You’ll hike through stunning natural scenery, climb alongside waterfalls, rappel down beautiful cascades, float through crystal-clear pools, and even have the chance to cliff jump if you’re feeling adventurous. The jumps weren’t intimidatingly high, but they were just enough to push many of us outside our comfort zones—and the encouragement from both the guides and the group made those moments incredibly rewarding. The scenery was simply breathtaking. We visited places we never would have discovered on our own, and being immersed in such a beautiful part of the island made the entire experience feel magical. Safety was clearly the top priority from beginning to end. The guides watched over every participant, carefully explained each section before we tackled it, and made sure everyone was comfortable before moving on. All of the necessary equipment was provided, and everything was well organized. Our group included adults, teenagers, and even some younger participants who tackled the course with amazing confidence. You don’t have to be an extreme thrill seeker to enjoy this experience—just come with an open mind and a willingness to try something new. By the end of the tour, my husband and I felt an incredible sense of accomplishment. There’s something special about pushing yourself just a little outside your comfort zone while surrounded by such spectacular natural beauty. We left smiling, energized, and so grateful we chose to do it. If you’re visiting São Miguel, don’t miss this experience. It’s an adventure you’ll be talking about long after your vacation ends.

Great morning of canyoning initiation with top-notch and experienced guides: 100% safety and 100% fun! Highly recommend

This canyoning adventure was absolutely incredible, and Diana and Ricardo made it unforgettable! From the very beginning, they were funny, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made us feel comfortable even though it was our first time canyoning. They helped us every step of the way, whether we were rappelling down rock faces, ziplining over the water, or jumping off waterfalls. There were definitely moments when we were scared, but they were so patient and supportive that we always felt completely safe and confident. Their positive energy and expertise turned what could have been an intimidating experience into one of the most fun adventures we’ve had on Sao Miguel. We can’t thank Diana and Ricardo enough for everything they did to make this such an amazing experience. If you’re thinking about trying canyoning, don’t hesitate- you’ll be in the best hands. Highly recommend!

The tour guides and experience itself were amazing. the behind the scenes and activity description were problematic though. I was not provided with pictures or a ride to and from. Inez Pedro and Raphael were incredible, made us feel safe and capable.

It was amazing. I was hesitant to book because my daughter is Deaf and wears a hearing aid and Cochlear Implant but they went above and beyond to accommodate everything she needed. In addition, they were competent, kind and funny. I honestly thought they were working for tips and was surprised at the end when there was clearly no expectation for us to give them any additional compensation. It was a fabulous morning! I definitely recommend going as early as possible, we were the first group and the whole canyon was lined with tour groups as we left.

I really enjoyed the canyoning experience! The guides were very thorough and made the experience safe and fun!

Ines and team were wonderful! A must-do experience.

Had such a fun time!! Wish I could’ve kept doing it all day, didn’t want it to end! The guides were so great!

Absolutely recommend! It was my first time canyoning and it was awesome, our guides Guilherme and Julio were so nice and hilarious, it was so much fun.

Such a wonderful experience. The guides were fun and patient. Just enough adventure to make it fun but not too much. A good level of adrenaline rush. They took really good care of us and very precessional. Highly recommended.
