Excepcional

Awesome experience!!! Both guides were so nice and supportive, they helped me with my 8year old son who had the fun of his life! We did jumping, climbing, sliding, everything in a very small group so there was enough time for each of us. Thanks so much to Be Local for a wonderful and unforgettable day.

It was absolutely amazing, the two guides Fabio and vitor were so friendly and kind and explained some of the history of Madeira while hiking through the jungle! Worth every penny and would recommend it everyone!

My 10 y/o daughter and I had a fantastic time on our canyoning adventure! The guys at Be Local Madeira were great! They were very patient with us and took us on a very awesome course. Five stars!
