Great adventure in a gorgeous place!

5.00I've been at the Azores for over 2 months, and definitely would recommend this activity! One of the coolest activities to do here on the island, if you're a nature lover who's in for a little adventure. I went with 2 friends and we had a great time canyoning out here! The guides where very fun, friendly and well qualified, and made us feel very safe. They'll challenge you to do the adventurous stuff, but always offer "less scary" alternatives if you're not up for something! Also a really good way to experience nature from a different perspective, being in the water, surrounded by the lush green trees and the birdies!
Highly recommended!

5.00It was our first time canyoning but certainly not the last time. The tour was super fun for us and is highly recommended. At the end of the tour we received the pictures and videos of the tour for free. The route is varied and has something for everyone. From jumps to cable cars to abseiling yourself. We felt safe and well guided by our guides at all times. Thank you again.
Wonderful adventure in the middle of nature!

5.00I was so afraid to do this and so was one of my friends and the other was a daredevil but the guides made us feel safe and always had lots of options if we were too scared to do a high jump.
Amazing experience for action seekers

5.00We did the tour with a group of four people. The guides (Victor and Rodrigo) were really friendly and fun to be with. We had a lot of time and didn't feel rushed. We did every jump more than once. Can really recommend this tour if you want to go canyoning on Sao Miguel.
Canyoning with the Best Guides!

5.00Absolutely brilliant experience! Canyoning with Basaltic Adventures was by far our favourite activity in São Miguel. Rodrigo and Victor were the best guides – fun, professional, and made us feel completely safe and well looked after from start to finish. Their knowledge of the area and local flora added a special touch that made the adventure even more memorable. We loved that the groups are small, so everyone gets plenty of time and support, and the atmosphere was so encouraging with everyone cheering each other on. Couldn’t recommend this enough – if you’re in São Miguel, this is a must-do!
Fantastic

5.00This was a blissful first experience! The friendly guides really put you at ease. Clear explanation of what to do and no long queues because you work in a small group! Definitely recommended!
No better company for canyoning on Sao Miguel!

5.00Our canyoning experience with Rodrigo and Victor was phenomenal. They were informative, knowledgeable and fun. They keep their groups small (12 max) where other groups we saw had 16-20 people. They were encouraging when participants got nervous and always made everyone smile. I couldn’t recommend a better company for canyoning in Sao Miguel.
