A great way to spend the day in Madeira!
The canyoning tour with Be Local Madeira was an incredible experience and a fun way to spend a slightly rainy day on the island. The tour is set in the Valley of the Nuns, which is stunningly beautiful. The guides, Rodrigo and Joao, were fun, encouraging and did an amazing job of making everyone feel comfortable and ensuring the whole group was able to enjoy the experience. A great day in Madeira and an experience we would highly recommend!

Perfect activity
Pedro and Rodrigo were amazing!!! Great fun in Madeira, if you’re looking to get into the jungle and have fun in the water.

It was so amazing we went two times!
I cannot recommend this company enough! We went for our first canyoning experience and did the Level 2 Nuns Valley with Pedro and Tomas as our guides. We loved it so much that we came back a few days later to do Level 3 at Ribeira Funda with Pedro and Aubri! Both experiences were absolutely amazing. The guides were very professional and always took the time to clearly explain each step and make sure we felt safe and comfortable. But most of all, they were incredibly friendly and funny, always singing, joking around, and hyping us up throughout the experience! They made both days so much fun, and we truly had an amazing time with them. We 100% recommend this experience, and a special thank you to Pedro, Tomas, and Aubri for making it so memorable!

Pedro and Gustav were...
Pedro and Gustav were amazing! So kind, patient, safe and kept the energy high the whole time. This has been my favorite part of my trip to Madeira so I can’t recommend them and this experience enough.

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madeira Canyoning Intermediate: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira Canyoning Intermediate cost?
+
Prices start at €80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Madeira Canyoning Intermediate take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Funchal is not rushed.
Is Madeira Canyoning Intermediate worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 169 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Madeira Canyoning Intermediate?
+
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 Madeira Canyoning Intermediate suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Madeira Canyoning Intermediate?
+
Around 59 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 Funchal 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 Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Madeira Canyoning Intermediate 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 Funchal 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 Funchal?
+
On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. 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 Funchal?
+
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 Funchal?
+
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 is included in Madeira Canyoning Intermediate?
+

+

What languages is Madeira Canyoning Intermediate offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Madeira Canyoning Intermediate?
+
