First time canyoning and Jorge was the best guide! We’re an active couple in our 50’s traveling with like minded friends. Prior to starting the adventure, Jorge thoroughly discusses safety protocols and has everyone practice. Jorge patiently guides each person into position at each point and ensures you feel safe and secure. Jorge has extensive knowledge about Tenerife, the canyon, and local flora. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again or any tour with Jorge! It was an unforgettable experience!

Spectacular place, prepared and friendly guide. There's a bit of walking before and after the actual canyoning, but it's worth it. Bring suitable shoes!!

Beautiful and stunning canyon, Jorge is amazing and very knowledgeable! Can’t recommend enough. A few tips for any potential travellers: Bring hiking boots - We thought that the footwear recommendations were just to stop people showing up in flip flops but you really do need a pair of hiking/climbing shoes. I’m sure Jorge wouldn’t mind telling you if your shoes are ok or not if you send him a picture. Bring a coat - A lightweight one is probably best, something that’ll keep the warm in. Rent a car - We arrived by taxi and the hotel assured us we’d have no trouble finding one to take us back however you’re literally on the side of a mountain. There’s barely any people at all and we would’ve been stuck if not for a kind member of our group giving us a lift into Santa Cruz! Can’t wait to do it again next year!
Excellent trip, nice guide and beautiful canyon

Amazing activity and tour guide Jorge!! This trip lasted 6-7 hours and we rappelled down 7 or more canyons. We felt completely safe and Jorge was brilliant at explaining all the relevant details e.g. safety tips, rappelling technique, facts about the canyon! He ensured he was aware of everyone’s physical capabilities and made adjustments to make sure everyone could hike and rappel comfortably. We recommend you wear long trousers and long sleeve shirts to avoid the stinging nettles and other things that can scratch you. Jorge was excellent and funny and we would return to canyon with him anytime!
Must do excursion

This was a great trip for our family. We are in our 50s with two boy age 16 & 14. We are generally an active outdoor family but we had little experience in canyoning (i had none). The guide Jorge was brilliant, an expert, very knowledgeable and a great motivator, encourager and supporter. And spoke perfect English. We were in a small group of 8. Most of the others had significant experience but Jorge catered for us all enabling those with more experience to use more advanced skills descending. Great experience. Great value for money. Would recommend to others
Perfect
