Madeira Canyoning - Beginner
By Be Local Madeira · listed in canyoning tours in Madeira for beginners
I'd look at this beginner trip if jumps are your main worry. There are other ways past them. You still need moderate fitness. Certified guides lead the group.
You follow the stream through slides and pools. Abseils can reach 14 metres. Jumps can reach about 5 metres. Boots and the rest of the canyoning kit are included.
Transport and insurance come with the trip. You get photos and videos too. A snack and water are included. Send a pickup reference point before the day.

Madeira Island is considered one of the best places in the world to practice the Canyoning.
This is the only way to get to the most beautiful places on Madeira.
This canyoning is intended for those who wish to have the first contact with the activity. It is an easy and accessible route for ages over 10 years old.
Descending some of the earth’s most beautiful geologic creations is unique, and Madeira Island have the beautifull ones.
Sharing it with friends, family or visit this secrets alone is one of the best activities you can do in the middle of the nature.
