Canyoning & Adventure Tours in Madeira

11 tours · €28–€125 · ★ 5.0

Canyoning in Madeira means rappelling down waterfalls, sliding into rock pools and scrambling through the island's green volcanic gorges, and a guided tour is the only sensible way to do it. The gear, the safety, the transfers and a route that matches your nerve are all sorted, so you can just focus on the canyon.

When you compare canyoning tours, start with the level. Beginners should book a Level 1 trip out of Funchal, with gentle jumps, short abseils and everything explained from scratch. After bigger drops and proper exposure? A Level II run steps it up. Not into water at all? A buggy adventure through Madeira's forest and mountain tracks gives you the off-road thrill on dry land. We'd check what's included, the minimum age and the fitness needed before you book.

11 canyoning and adventure tours in Madeira from €28. Half-day, small-group and private, with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.

Planning a trip to Madeira

Best time to visit

Madeira is known as the island of eternal spring, with mild temperatures all year. Spring and early autumn are ideal for levada walks and mountain views; summer is warm and busy, and winter is popular for sunshine and the famous New Year fireworks.

Getting there & around

Flights land at Madeira Airport (FNC) near Funchal. The island is mountainous with winding roads, so a 4x4 jeep tour, organised excursion or hired car is the easiest way to reach the levadas, peaks and north-coast villages.
