What if you chicken out?
First of all – do not. The first decline is always scary, and it is normal. The adventure starts where your comfort zone ends. You are in good hands, so give it your best try and you will do great.
In the worst-case canyoning turns out not to be your cup of tea – do not worry – this beginner trail/stream was chosen on purpose. There is a path next to this stream, so if you decide not to participate, you can decide to walk down the stream.
Canyoning I with Discovery Island Madeira – How to prepare?
It is advised to wear a swimsuit under your regular clothes, it will make it easier to change into wetsuits. There is no need to bring anything else with you, the crew of Discovery Island Madeira will take care of everything, starting from the wetsuits and towels to GoPro cameras.
Canyoning I with Discovery Island Madeira – Final thoughts and review
Awesome. All about the adventure was awesome, well maybe except for the moment of putting on the damn wetsuits, which are a bit tighter than wetsuits used for other sports- a part of many activities which I truly have no patience for.
As you probably noticed on my video, Sandro and Diogo are great instructors. We had a lot of fun.
I did not expect anything less than a great tour – Discovery Island Madeira has a 5/5 star rating on TripAdvisor and at this moment is the second-best of 130 Outdoor Activities in Funchal!
What I disliked: Getting into wetsuits!
What I liked / big thumbs up for: Attention to safety – at all stages & the team’s attitude, good energy, fun, fun, fun.
