OUR CANYONING DOCUMENTARY ON RTP MADEIRA

October 7, 2026

Twenty-five minutes. Three canyons. One very patient camera crew. 🎬

Back in the day we teamed up with RTP Madeira to make the first full documentary about canyoning in Portugal, filmed right here. It’s the island from the inside: how the sport started here, three routes that show what these riverbeds hide, and that forest so green it looks edited (it isn’t).

A few facts for the curious:

Published on our YouTube on 15 January 2020, about 25 min 30 s, in Portuguese (there’s an English-subtitled cut on our Facebook)
RTP1 ran a news piece, Canyoning na Madeira (6 July 2017, journalist Paulo Jardim), with Francisco Pereira from Epic Madeira. It’s still in the RTP Arquivos
Full film: Documentary about Canyoning in Madeira Island

Rewatching it still makes us want to grab the ropes and go. If it does the same to you: Beginner (8+, 65 €), Intermediate (12+, 80 €) or Coasteering (8+, 75 €). No film crew required.
