      Unforgettable day with TOBOGA
      The best place for adventures in Portugal! Amazing staff, super nice and highly skilled professionals, setting the standards for canyoning. They also have the best material to allow you to enjoy a memorable experience totally safe! Must try if you want to have an unforgettable day.

      Awesome, fun, adventure.
      Super efficient, very friendly and very well organised. Briefings before and along the way were clear and easy to understand in all languages. No one was pressured to do anything they didn't want, and there was usually a 'plan B' for those who didn't want to jump. (I wouldn't do this activity though if you have a fear of heights!) Johana, our guide, was experienced and calm, and along with her 2 colleagues were a proffesional female team that brought us all down safely and with a lot of fun. Also, they are all ridiculously strong 😀💪 Thanks ladies, great day and fantastic photos.

      Wow! What a fantastic experience!
      Thank you Helder for being such a fantastic guide, a superb Canyonning enthusiast, personable and a calm and reassuring influence. Having a fluent, English-speaking guide really helped particularly during safety briefings. The whole experience was fantastic! I was impressed by the high level of organisation from start to finish. The canyonning experience was great fun! If you fancy having an awesome adventure, I would wholeheartedly recommend Toboga Adventure Center. Thank you!

      Best bike tour and views!
      Beautiful and thrilling bike tour of the National Park!! Bruno was our guide for 12 electric bikes and riders of various ability. He was patient and kind and keep us all on track. The views were spectacular. We stopped for quick lunch in Soajo which was delicious and scenic! A must do in Northern Portugal. Thank you Tobago -and Bruno!

      Off roading
      A beautiful way to see the park. The entire Toboga staff were wonderful and the GPS worked well. We are all riders and our biggest struggle was the E-bikes which were heavy and at times difficult to manage on our path, which was often off-road. If you are not sure about the length of ride you should select, we would recommend a shorter route and add on a ride to a local restaurant.

      Great e-bike tour
      Highly recommend!! We did a 45km e-bike tour with a guide and it was fantastic. We had our own private tour with just the two of us and our guide and he did a great job providing directions and adjusting the ride to our abilities. The ride was great going through small villages, incredible views, on off road paths through beautiful scenery and to some of the great historic sites in the park. It was a very hilly ride but the e-bikes made it so much easier and doable for all ability levels. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the Geres area.

      An awesome time
      This was an awesome experience. We went Aug 28, 2023. Professional friendly guides. It is fairly physical— I’m 65 basically in shape and did fine. Some of the jumps are scary and ropes on rocks, but actually fairly easy — just enough to make you feel you accomplished something. The canyon is beautiful. Had a really great time, family loved it. Totally recommend! A highlight for sure.

      Fun day in nature.
      This was an excellent day of fun and a bit exercise. I was picked up from my accomodation in Porto then taken to their office to put on the wetsuit. We were taken to the canyoning spot by another vehicle. Then the fun begins, walking, abseiling, jumping and a bit of sliding. The guides were amazing very professional in their job and very friendly. They also took a lot of photos which I received the very same day. After the activity we had a meal to round off this activity.

      Super!
      Amazing!! Beautiful route with really fun zip lines and jumps. Our guide Miguel was fantastic and really great fun. Not only did he drive us to and from the canyon but after the canyoning he also showed us to a local restaurant for lunch- really delicious! He also took a ton of great photos during the excursion and sent them to us by email free of charge. Would definitely recommend, it’s easily the best canyoning I’ve ever done:)) Thank you for such a great experience!

      10/10 would do it again!
      My friends and I had such an incredible time canyoning. Our guide Rui was amazing! He was so patient and helpful, and he even drove my friends and I to the bus station afterward when we were running late! The experience was great and I would 100% recommend it; it was worth every penny. The national park is beautiful, and getting to zip-line, repell, and walk your way through the canyon and river is an experience I will never forget.

      Exhilarating Canyoning experience !
      Amazing amazing experience canyoning at the beautiful Pineda Geres National Park with our fabulous guides Rui & Marta . What a day, the zip line experience was just crazy, jumping off into gushing water , canyoning down… more than exceeded our expectations and want to do it again. Rui & Marta were very caring, fun to be with, took great care of our two teenage sons and we felt the equipment was safe. If you are looking for something beyond sightseeing this is the thing to do !

      Amazing canyoning trip in northern Portugal
      Amazing canyoning trip with a very awesome, experienced and fun guide (Aurelio). So many opportunities to try new jumps and rope techniques. Kids (ours were ages 12 to 16) and adults all loved it. And beautiful scenery. Worth going to the local cafe at the end for the best burger ever!

      Thanks to Bruno for an awesome adventure!
      Did the E bike tour with Bruno today in the national park. Was just over 3 hours, we were a little on the slow side. The bikes were awesome and super helpful since the elevation goes up and down many times. The views were incredible, the information Bruno provided was super helpful, and all around it was a fabulous day. Thank you so much Bruno!

    We went canyoning with Rui and could not have been more impressed with the overall experience. Our kids (11, 13 and 15) absolutely loved it, the equipment was first-rate, the whole setup is extremely professional and our guide (Rui) was amazing. You need enough mobility to walk down a steep path and clamber over rocks, but the jumping into pools/swimming is entirely up to you. The canyon was beautiful with loads to do. Very highly recommended!

    A well organised tour with top notch equipment and guided by an enthusiastic team.

    During the trip our guide and his trusty sidekick, Miguel & Jorge, made sure both my son and myself had continuous fun and felt save with all activities.

    Everything is well explained and there was no pressure what so ever. “Plan P” never had to be executed 😉.

    So if you are looking for some activity instead of laying in the sun all day, this is definitely worth considering.

    @Miguel&Jorge: thanks again for the wonderful experience and the pictures!

    I've never did canyoning before, this was my first time and what a great experience. The equipment is awesome. From start to finish the guides were kind, helpful, professional and the most important they know what they were doing and we felt safe and on good hands. The tour was amazing, they adapt the difficulty for each person and if you don't feel comfortable with something they will have an alternative. In summary it was a great experience with great guides. I recommend for everyone!
    PS: I did not put photos but they photograph all the tour and send the photos via email.

    Canyoning is a truly great activity if you are in Gerês. Two guides take you to the mountains and then bring you down through the river by passing through rocks and natural pools, often with help of alpinism equipment. Even if it's your first time doing canyoning (like me), they take the time to help you and make you comfortable, and never push you to do anything you don't feel comfortable with! After a 3-hour tour you can get a tasty lunch at a local café.
    All guides are internationally certified and, above all, extremely friendly!!
    Totally recommended!

    Simply a "must do" if you even get near Porto! 4 adults, 3 kids (ages 12-14) had a blast! Safe, fun, adventurous and like nothing you have ever tried before! It does NOT depend on the weather as the wet suits are needed no matter the time of year. Sincerely, was one of the really memorable days we had in Portugal this past summer. The team of guides are amazing and emphasize safety and fun.

    We enjoyed our canyoning tour today very much!

    Finding the center and parking was very easy. Our tour started on time with a safety check and trying on the equipment. We then headed to the canyon with two guides just for us two.

    After another safety check we enjoyed nice views, zip-lines, abseiling, small slides and jumps. We really enjoyed the zip-lines. There were a few nice jumps, too, which were fun, but not too dificult. Let's say up to 6m or so.

    We had a nice chat with our guides in a small café with lots of recommendations for this area of Portugal. The Burger and sandwich were ok, but very cheap with drinks.
    I'm curious how the other canyons or bike tours are with this crew. They seem to be experts and very nice.
    Come to visit!

    It was a spectacular experience from start to finish,
    The instructors (Joana and Tex) were exceptionally professional and friendly. At no point were we afraid because we knew they knew every act they told us to do in perfect safety.
    I recommend it and thank you again for a fabulous day. My 13 year old girl asks to come back next year.
