About Discover Experience
Discover Experience is a nature tourism company that has quickly become the go-to adventure outfitter in the Azores for visitors seeking canyoning, coasteering, kayaking, and guided hiking. Originally founded on the island of São Jorge, they have expanded their operations and now serve as a gateway to some of the most rugged and untouched landscapes in the entire archipelago.
Their canyoning excursions thread through lush, waterfall-laced gorges — featuring rappelling, swimming through volcanic pools, and scrambling over mossy basalt formations. Coasteering sessions combine cliff jumping, rock traversing, and sea swimming along dramatic shorelines that few visitors ever reach. They also run open-ocean kayaking trips, guided hikes to remote fajãs (coastal lowlands accessible only by foot or boat), and half-day van tours that cover multiple island highlights for those short on time.
Discover Experience's guides are passionate locals who bring deep knowledge of the islands' geology, flora, and cultural heritage to every trip. Their small-group format means every excursion feels exclusive, and they have earned a loyal following among adventure travellers who want more than the standard whale watching and hot spring circuit.
