What To Expect
This journey takes place in the Ribeira dos Caldeirões Natural Park, a remarkable park in the north-eastern region of São Miguel Island (approximately 45 minutes drive from the city of Ponta Delgada). Upon arrival, we will give you your personal equipment and then take a short walk of approximately 15 minutes to our starting destination for our first safety briefing. Along the way, you will encounter vertical obstacles in the form of waterfalls that can be overcome using abseiling techniques. The tallest waterfall is 8 metres high. With some short walking sections in between, there is also a fun area with a slide and a 5-metre jump.

5.00We had such a great experience canyoning with Basaltic Azores Adventures. Diogo and Rodrigo were awesome guides and especially great with our kids. They really adjusted the trip to match the kids’ comfort level at first, then added more challenge as they got more confident and adventurous. There were jumps, zip lines, slides, and a rappel, and the whole experience felt like the perfect mix of fun and adventure. Both guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and very safety conscious, which made us feel comfortable the entire time. You could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do and wanted everyone in the group to have a great experience. This ended up being one of our favorite activities in the Azores, and we enjoyed it enough that we booked a coasteering trip with them afterward too. Definitely recommend them, especially for families.

5.00Can’t recommend enough! We did this after our port adventure got canceled. Top highlight of our whole trip! They kindly picked us up right by our ship and drove us to our destination. They had everything so organized and me and my girls felt so safe the whole time. They didn’t rush us along and were very encouraging. So much beauty to see on the island and this was the perfect way to see it.
Wild adventure in dense nature !
