Highlights
  • Parque Natural da Ribeira dos Caldeirões - This excursion takes place in Parque Natural da Ribeira dos Caldeirões, one of the most extraordinary places in the northeastern part of the island of São Miguel (+/- 45 minute drive away from the city of Ponta Delgada). Upon arrival, we will proceed with the distribution of your personal equipment and then set off on short walk of ~ 15min to our first stop where we will have our first safety briefing.

We will then continue on a short scramble uphill where we will then stop for our second safety briefing, where we will show you how to rappel before continuing onwards and upwards for another ~10min to the start of the canyon where the fun will begin!

After reaching the top of the canyon you will start the second part of your adventure. You can expect several jumps (between 2 and 7 meters in height), all optional, a natural slide and some abseils (between 5 and 15m in height). We will walk back along our initial path to the starting point.

Great fun! - We had a great time! There is a little bit of an uphill hike which was probably the most “rigorous” part of the trek for us. We had a blast with the cliff jumping, zip line, and rappelling. Our guides Bruno and Joao did a great job of joking with the group while also ensuring safety and fun for all. We had a great time and would absolutely do another activity with them when we’re back! They also did a great job of documenting the experience for us and sending pictures and videos so we could just focus on being in the moment. Cant recommend them enough!

Awesome experience!! - The location is gorgeous and our guides (Bruno, Daniela, and Henrique) were fantastic - experienced, safety-focused, encouraging, supportive, and fun! Jumping from a height into water has always scared me but with the support of the guides and the rest of the participants I was able to do it twice! I have never been rappelling before and I loved it - can't wait to do more of it.

Fantastic Experience - Exciting tour, great guides ... a fantastic experience. The pick-up location was just few steps away from the cruise terminal in Ponta Delgarda. The guides did a fantastic job and told us a few things about the island and its inhabitants during the drive to the waterfall. Thank you so much for this incredible experience...
