Canyoning and Furnas experience
We just finished a beautiful day in Ribera do Caldeiroes and Furnas. The canyon is just magnificent, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Our guide Teresa, was amazing - fun, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Our very first canyoning experience was a little more than we bargained for, but we felt very secure in Teresa’s capable hands. Great instruction and guidance. Our afternoon in Furnas was a wonderful experience. From Cozido stew cooked in the ground to the beautiful Terra Nostra, even the rain could not ruin the day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a heartfelt review! 💚 We’re thrilled to hear that your day in Ribeira dos Caldeirões and Furnas was so memorable. It truly is a breathtaking canyon, and we’re glad Teresa’s fun, friendly, and knowledgeable guidance made your very first canyoning experience both safe and enjoyable. It’s wonderful that you also loved the afternoon in Furnas — from tasting the traditional Cozido to exploring the beauty of Terra Nostra, rain and all. We’re so happy you got to experience these special places with us and hope to welcome you back for more Azorean adventures!

Amazing Experience. Thank you, Guilherme!
We had an unforgettable canyoning experience in the Azores, and our guide, Guilherme, made it absolutely incredible. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and skilled when it came to canyoning—making us feel safe and confident every step of the way—but he also shared so much about the island's history, geology, and culture. He clearly loves what he does and where he lives, and it made the whole experience feel even more special. If you're looking for an adventure that combines adrenaline, natural beauty, and great local insight, this is it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! We're so happy to hear that your canyoning experience in the Azores was unforgettable. Guilherme will be thrilled to know his passion and knowledge made such a strong impact—he truly loves what he does, and it means the world when guests feel that. Combining adventure with the beauty and stories of our island is exactly what we aim for, and we’re glad it came through. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ponta Delgada.
How much does Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel) cost?
+
Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ponta Delgada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel) take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ponta Delgada is not rushed.
Is Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ponta Delgada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ponta Delgada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ponta Delgada and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ponta Delgada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ponta Delgada?
+
On Outty we rank every Ponta Delgada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sao Miguel West Van Tour Sete Cidades and Fogo Lake plus Lunch, Jeep Tour Full Day Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo with lunch and drinks included., Off the Beaten Track Half Day Sete Cidades Jeep Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ponta Delgada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ponta Delgada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to Canyoning & Furnas Tour (Azores - São Miguel) if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Ponta Delgada. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
