“If you like nature tours, don’t miss this one. Even though we had a rainy day, we still really enjoyed this small tour. We were able to do a little hiking and walking around in different spots. Lunch was one of our best meals of the trip. Carlos was a great guide. He very personable and knowledgeable and was super helpful in making recommendations for our next stop in the Algarve region. If we ever get back to Porto, we would take this tour again.”
Review of Porto’s Gerês canyoning trip, with waterfalls, jumps, slides, zip lines, gear, guides, transfers, costs, and practical tips.
“I canyoneer a lot in the US and found this experience exceptional. The guides were knowledgeable and exceptional. Everything was well rigged and there were rescue methods built in. The rappels (abseiling) were short--this was more slides and jumps in a beautiful canyon. I agree with the reviewer who said this would be harder for someone without some sort of regular physical activity. But if you do, you will have a great time.”

“Great trip with an amazing guide! We really enjoyed hiking in the national park and visiting some small lagunes to go swimming. Our guide Maia ensured good vibes on the entire trip, made sure we made it safely back into the city in time for our plans, showed us the coolest spot to swim with almost no other people, and took us to the most beautiful viewpoint. He took good care of all of the group members and shared recommendations for the rest of our trip in Portugal. Thank you Maia for an awesome day!!Read more”
Kayak, swim, hike to a waterfall, and enjoy local food on a full-day Peneda-Gerês adventure from Porto.
“Terrific day out in the national park. After a 1.5 hour drive from Porto, we arrived at the first stop: kayaking on a beautiful lake and an opportunity to swim in a secluded beach area. From there we had a hearty 3 course lunch and set off up the mountain for a brief hike down to the waterfall. The six of us in the group were the only people there and got to bathe in the crystal clear and refreshing water. Marianna was an incredible guide - very informative, excellent English and a very safe driver. Highly recommended tour!”
