We meet at our shop in Caniço, at the booked time. If you are arriving by car, you will find both free and paid parking spaces available, in front of our store. We will then travel together to the canyon in one of our minibuses. After a short walk through a rural area, we will reach the starting point, and our adventure will begin. You can leave your personal belongings either at our shop or in the minibus to keep them safe while you explore the canyon.

Within the canyon, you will be treated to numerous breathtaking sights. We will encounter four different rappels at varying altitudes (the highest being 17 meters), as well as small jumps and waterslides. However, there is no need to worry, as nothing is compulsory, and alternative routes are available if needed.

It was our first canyoning experience. We were there with the children and felt very well looked after, instructed, and accompanied. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming; the guides were able to motivate and encourage the children and were generous with their praise. The entire setup was very professionally and thoughtfully organized.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with LokoLoko Canyoning and cannot recommend this team highly enough!
Our three guides were exceptional from start to finish. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and supportive throughout the entire tour. Every step was explained clearly, making everyone feel safe and confident, regardless of their experience level.
What impressed us the most was how wonderfully they interacted with our children. Whenever they felt nervous about a jump, one of the guides would jump together with them, giving them the confidence they needed to overcome their fears. Their kindness, encouragement, and genuine care made the experience unforgettable for our whole family.
The professionalism, enthusiasm, and positive energy of the entire team turned this adventure into one of the highlights of our trip to Madeira.
If you’re considering a canyoning tour, don’t hesitate—LokoLoko is the company to choose. An outstanding team that deserves nothing less than a full 5-star recommendation!
Kerstin · FamilyGermany · September 2025
Great tour for beginners, fantastic guides. We had a lot of fun, and it was a bit daunting for me from the start. But I always felt very confident. Good explanations beforehand. The only downside was that we had booked a German tour, as my English isn't that good, but it ended up being in English. But the tour still deserves 5 stars 🌟. Everything was great.
