About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jean-Francois L0 contributionsGreat TourRecently did the PR6 hike with Rubin. Such a beautiful day and wonderful place to see. Rubin was wonderful and cared a lot about our safety. He was also full of knowledge. I highly recommend this tour company for any tour, you wont regret it!Written September 6, 2024
- W9759LKpauld0 contributionsUnforgettable fun experience, a must do !!From the initial pick up and transfer (by Carlos) to the start of the activity everything was clearly explained and all safety measures detailed out. Our guides, Lisandro & Tiago made it an unforgettable experience and were enthusiastic and engaging. My 2 teenage boys (17 & 15) loved it and did not want it to end. Great value for money and a great way to see another part of the island. We will definitely do it again on our next visit to Madeira.Written August 14, 2024

- hugomE4114JT0 contributionsDefinitely a must!Everything was extremely well organised. The guide, Darya, was helpful and friendly and was able to respond to additional questions asked. Definitely challenge, but a doable excursion and worth the price!Written August 8, 2024
- E2466GCphilipb0 contributionsPico Ruivo climb with Adventure Kingdom and local guideSuperb experience, many thanks to Rubin, our extremely knowledgeable, friendly and multi lingual guide explaining safety, our route, the travel to and from our climb, island history; information regarding flora and fauna. Pick up from and return to our hotel was on time and perfect, a clean comfortable mini bus. We chose an option for a tuna salad for lunch, this was extremely tasty, an excellent portion size with water, juice, pastel de nata and chocolate.Written July 30, 2024
- FungS0 contributionsGood first hikeWe did this hike, which is also known as PR6, on a week day. We arrived at the car park ~08:30am, early enough to avoid the crowds. Although the hike is ~4.5km, you need to walk for ~2km down a path before descending to the lagoon. You know you are at the right point to descend to the lagoon when you see a cafe. The descent to the lagoon is ~2.5km. We completed the route from the car park and back in ~3 hours. I'd recommend doing this hike as early in the day as possible because the lagoon is quite small and crowds do start forming from 10am onwards. A mini bus runs down the 2km path between the cafe and the car park. We didn't use it in the morning as the service starts at 9am. There are toilets near the cafe, but you will need a 50cent coin to use it.Written July 20, 2024
- ChristinaJN0 contributionsGreat adventure experienceThe guides picked us up from our hotel promptly and the experience was very well organised. We felt safe at all times and it was lots of fun. We might do a more advanced one next time 😊Written July 17, 2024
- ignaciomA9285WQ0 contributionsLevel 3 canyonA true canyoning experience guided by highly qualified guides. Everything was very professional and fun. I definitely recommend this company.Written July 9, 2024
- 864niamho0 contributionsBest hike ever !My daughter and I did this hike 4 days ago and we are still in awe of the beauty of what we saw. Maderia is a very special place and it is especially evident from the heights of Pico do Areeiro and Ruivo. Having read up some information in advance of the hike I was very nervous about it. With Ruben as our guide it turned out to be an awesome experience. There is no doubt about it, as a visitor to the island this hike is a must. Thank you so much Ruben for looking after us and inspiring us to continue hiking throughout the summer. Thanks also to the driver, apologies I can't remember your name.Written June 25, 2024
- Y1593FZbenjamink0 contributionsGreat tour and amazing views / natureI joined two different tours with them last days. Nice guides who take care of everything and communicate clear all safety topics. Great views, amazing nature, and we had much fun with the guides and groups. After the tour the group receives photos the guides have done (included). I definitely recommend these tours.Written June 16, 2024
- kphillipsBristol0 contributionsChallenging walk, but well worth it for the amazing views.The hike is stunning the scenery is breathtaking. We were very lucky and was quite a clear day which meant we had a good combination of cloud and sun to enhance the views! The hike is quite challenging and should only be done if you are used to hikes! The guide did ensure we knew what was involved and could stop a little way into the trip and go back if we were concerned! Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout the walk and stopped regularly to explain things to us! Challenging walk, but well worth it.Written June 13, 2024
- kphillipsBristol0 contributionsLovely hikeWe had Reuben as our guide who was very knowledgable and engaging during the whole day. The hike is a combination of tunnels and cliff side paths, they are quite uneven and can be quite wet so ensure you have sturdy and waterproof footwear and layers for all weathers! The waterfall is very stunning and well worth the hike!Written June 13, 2024
- 97PC970 contributionsVery poor trip, made worse by surly, rude guideI had high hopes for this trip and had done my research beforehand and Madeira Adventure Company came with good reviews. The walk was just beautiful by the way - but the guide (Samuel) was just rude, unfriendly and inhospitable. We have done many trips this time and have had excellent service, but this guide is a poor reflection of the company and I know others on the trip were not happy either, so much so he didn't get a single tip. We were constantly told to hurry up, with limited time for taking any pictures and we could barely understand him, which actually we were grateful for by the end of the day. I don't pay to go on trips to be treated as a child and scolded...! The walk back was so rushed and we could hardly keep up, he kept saying this walk should take 4.5 hours but this trip was going to be 5.15 hours and he was not happy. In my experience of this walk and this company I would certainly not suggest using this company, in case you get Samuel and I really hope this company take notice of this review. Next time we will hire our own car and do any lavada walks ourselves. A beautiful walk, ruined by a rude guide! PS - bus driver was lovely and a gentleman.Written June 7, 2024

We booked these Tour on our Aida Cruise Ship . His was the best Tour we made until now. The 2 Guides organized everthing from clothes over shoes to the best way through the canyon . There was a mix for beginners from climbing , jumping, swimming until rope down some waterfalls . The nature was amazing , and the weather was really great. The Neopren clothes take your body Temperatur in the right area.
The group was about 13 people . Perfect organized ! Thanks for this experience.

We had a great time canyoning. The guides didn't rush us and we were able to take our time. They explained everything before hand and along the way as we progressed through the canyon and we're very friendly and helpful. They took photos of us all at each stage of the trip and kindly emailed them to us, this was a really nice touch as otherwise we wouldn't have had any photos at all.
A unique experience in a beautiful setting, highly recommended!
