Do you take a commission on adventure bookings?
No. Operators listed here pay for their own listing and you book directly with them. We don't add a booking fee or take a cut, and we label paid placement.
Are these companies insured and certified?
Ask before you book. Reputable canyoning and paragliding operators in Madeira carry liability insurance and use ICA or FPVL certified guides — most will show you the paperwork if you ask.
