This 2.5-hour canyoning tour uses hiking and water techniques like rappelling, sliding, and jumping to navigate the landscape. Participants move through natural rock pools, descend waterfalls, and cross river sections with guidance from accredited instructors. All necessary canyoning gear is provided, including harnesses, wetsuits, socks, helmets, and boots. The tour includes photos and videos of the activity. Pick-up and drop-off are available if selected and possible. This activity does not require swimming skills but participants should be comfortable in the water.
This excursion takes place in Parque Natural da Ribeira dos Caldeirões, one of the most extraordinary places in the northeastern part of the island of São Miguel (+/- 45 minute drive away from the city of Ponta Delgada). Upon arrival, we will proceed with the distribution of your personal equipment and then set off on short walk of ~ 15min to our first stop where we will have our first safety briefing. We will then continue on a short scramble uphill where we will then stop for our second safety briefing, where we will show you how to rappel before continuing onwards and upwards for another ~10min to the start of the canyon where the fun will begin! After reaching the top of the canyon you will start the second part of your adventure. You can expect several jumps (between 2 and 7 meters in height), all optional, a natural slide and some abseils (between 5 and 15m in height). We will walk back along our initial path to the starting point. NOTE: – The exact itinerary including jumps, abseils and other techniques will depend on local conditions and seasons. The terrain, landscape and flow of the stream normally change throughout the year.
