Summary:
Incredible experience! We all absolutely loved it. So well organised and run. Carlos was clearly very experienced, which put us all at ease. He was fantastic with the kids, especially my eldest who was very anxious and nervous of the abseiling at times. Carlos was patient and kind, and my son ended up doing far more than I'd anticipated as a result. Gave him so much confidence, it was really wonderful to see. Highly recommend!

Summary:
I went there with our 12-year old son, and this turned out to be the highlight of our vacation. The activity is set in a beautiful surrounding in the midst of a granite canyon, with small and bigger waterfalls and puddles to explore.
It's a very family-friendly tour, with two experienced and emphatic guides who maintain the perfect balance between safety, fun and time to enjoy the water and environment. Everything is explained very carefully, you are always encouraged to try, but never feel forced to do anything you're not feeling comfortable with.
The descent is very relaxed, and never feels rushed. There is always time to take a jump a second or third time, or to simply float around in the water or have a chat. They are great with kids, fooling around, exploring caves, all while keeping an eye out and ensuring they stay safe.
At the end you get A LOT of high quality pictures and videos documenting your trip.
If you're a little bit adventurous I would highly recommend this tour while in Peneda-Geres.

Summary:
As a family with two children aged 9 and 12, we absolutely loved our first canyoning adventure! Carlos is a true professional — we felt completely safe and well-guided throughout the entire trip. One of the best parts was the flexibility; there was always a Plan B for anyone who wasn’t comfortable with a jump, which made it enjoyable for all of us.
We had a fantastic time exploring nature — swimming in crystal-clear natural pools, hiking through stunning landscapes, and soaking in the beauty all around. Even the small touches, like the tasty energy bar, made a difference. And receiving all the trip photos afterward? That was the cherry on top — amazing memories captured forever.
Don’t hesitate to book with Carlos — you won’t regret it!
