Join me in one of the most beatiful parts of the world and discover the growing sport of Canyoning, this is a trip that you can’t afford to miss!
We meet in the village of Gordona and make our way to the stunning Val Bodengo, with its crystal clear waters and gigantic rockfaces, the area provides great jumps, slides and some short abseiling sections too.
This is an easily accessible canyon and as such is perfect for beginners in the sport of canyoning. Whilst this may be a short simple course I guarantee you will forget all about time as we jump, slide and use short rope descents to make our way through this awe inspiring canyon. Jumping is not mandatory on my trips so don’t worry if you’re not seeking thrills, there is beautiful natural scenery and marvellous rock faces waiting for those who prefer the touring aspect of this trip.
As this is a beginner course no previous experience is necessary as I will ensure you have a safe and most of all, fun introduction to the exhilarating sport of canyoning. There’s beauty to behold in the clear waters and mighty rockfaces to be found in Val Bodengo, ensuring there’s something for the thrillseekers and the nature lovers! This simple yet incredibly fun trip is a great idea for families, (accompanying children must be 10 years old and over) a teambuilding activity for the workplace or wedding parties!
All you need is a swimsuit, a big towel and a t-shirt to put on under your neoprene suit. I will provide helmets, harnesses, wetsuits and canyoning shoes.
I promise that after this half day of jumping, sliding and abseiling through the awesome Val Bodengo, you will be in love with the sport of canyoning, contact me now to book this trip!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
