Quick answers to the most common canyoning questions
What is the best time for canyoning in Madeira?
Canyoning is a year-round activity in Madeira. In summer (June-September), the rivers on the north side are most appealing with greater water flow. In winter (October-May), the rivers on the south side are more advisable as they are calmer. The weather is generally mild throughout the year, making it perfect for outdoor activities.
Do I need previous experience for canyoning?
No previous experience is required for beginner-level canyoning. Level 1 tours are designed for first-timers and include comprehensive safety briefings and basic technique instruction. However, good physical condition is recommended as the activity involves walking on rocks, swimming, and rappelling.
What equipment is needed for canyoning?
All technical equipment is provided by certified operators, including wetsuits, helmets, harnesses, and safety ropes. You only need to bring swimwear, a towel, and water-resistant shoes. During winter months, bring extra layers for warmth before getting into the wetsuit.
