My partner and I signed up for the Canyoning Experience, led by Bruno and Carolina, and it was a total blast! Despite having absolutely no canyoning or abseiling experience, coupled with an intense fear of heights, I ended up really enjoying my experience and can't wait to try it again. We began our morning suiting up in rash guards, wetsuits, neoprene and boots, all included in the price and in great condition. Then we trekked up to the falls, which was a bit strenuous and slippery, but Bruno and Carolina was with us every step of the way, pointing out potential hazards and where to step/hang on to. We were then given thorough safety briefings on how to abseil, and then we did it! The jumps into the water were really thrilling too. The best thing about our tour were our guides, especially Bruno! He was super funny, kind, and helpful - can't recommend him enough! We also lucked out going with a small group (6 of us total) who brought great vibes. If you have a few hours to spare in Sao Miguel, definitely go canyoning with Azorean Active Blueberry - they're the best! We'll definitely be back to try the Canyoning Adventure next time.
