This is a must! Not just because it’s fun but it also gives you the opportunity to see a side of the national park that you would never get to on your own. The guides are professionals, canyoning is fun, the scenery is amazing and the lunch afterwards is awesome. Do it!

We booked the canyoning tour for the family and absolutely loved it. The company had top quality gear, picked us up in Porto, and provided a wonderful guide. The nature was truly beautiful and let us see some of the natural beauty of Portugal outside of the cities. The canyoning was just hard enough to be fun but not so simple that it was boring. We felt like we really had an adventure and my kids were smiling and laughing the whole time. We would definitely do this again.
