We had so much fun! 4 hours flew past. Alvaro was a great guide - helpful, informative and very kind. We came at the end of the season so the water was slightly lower than it should’ve been, meaning the rapids weren’t too extreme and we did end up getting stuck on the rocks - remember to wiggle and shake to free the canoe! The company provide you with full gear, a bottle of water and a small snack along the way. Being able to swim helps, but even if you can’t, the life jackets provide full support. We stopped at 2 spots where we swam - one of which had you jumping either 2m or 4m from a rock. Alvaro took plenty of photos and videos along the way, so you don’t have to bring your phone with you (if you do, it’s at your own risk). Great weather and even better company. Our group was quite small (10 people including the guide), so we had a calm and relaxing experience. It was our first time canoeing and I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an adrenaline rush with beautiful scenery! Thank you for the experience!

We had an amazing time Rafting/ Tubing. The scenery was beautiful and the overall experience was great. Our guide Pedro from JUST COME was super fun and we felt extremely safe with him. Also as an extra bonus he took a lot of fun pictures of the trip! Totally recommend this activity! We will be back for sure - maybe when there is more water in the river. But evens the water levels were lower - it was still a great adventure for us. So yes absolutely 5 stars. We also booked the lunch - it was a fantastic way to extend the nice trip. Cute restaurant and good food. Thanks Pedro!!

Really beautiful way to see the river. Our adventure was upgraded due to the rain. The rapids were fun and our tour guide was experienced and warm, like a Portuguese Santa, making us feel safe and encouraging everyone to have fun. It was a little cold, but the gear we were provided was perfect, and initially nearly too good at keeping us warm in the sun. I only wish the river was longer. Very very good way to see the river and quite fun.
At first she was skeptical and then delighted with everything that followed. There followed 2 hours in which the joy of being in nature on a good and obedient river, supervised but without being disturbed by Pedro - our guide and observer are a memory to which you want to return. Congratulations to JustCome on his professionalism!
Very funny and enjoying activity, the guides were great and cool, everything was perfect! The river landscapes is very beautiful, the water very clean with fishes. Please do not use solar cream, it kills the nature here!
We had an interesting and fun time, the service and attitude are wonderful, the escorts are very professional and feel safe with them on the river.
Very nice experience, the supervising team was at the top very reassuring and listening, not to mention incredible jumps and views. Brief activity perfect for our family
Unique feeling .. the possibility to hear the silence of nature .. enjoy the river in its course .. peace and tranquility, are the words that occur to me, simultaneously with adventure and challenge .. Thank you to the Just Come guide who accompanied us and so well motivated us during the experience, and for new ones!!
It is very tasty, an experience that we will definitely want to repeat when the waters are higher. But it's worth going no matter what time it is. My father and I loved, the guides are super friendly and do not leave quite safe the whole trip. I thank the whole team and hope to see you all again.
We sailed a nice stretch and were well guided by Lee, which is a nice addition that he takes pictures that are shared via goodly drive. This time of year the water is low, but despite that we had a few nice gears. Thanks for the nice day and hopefully back in April for rafting;-)
Excelente...Pasamos una mañana genial. No es nada peligroso, mi Mujer era más reticente y acabó encantada. Recomendable 100%
They helped us choose the best option, depending on the flow of the river and then committed to ensuring excellence from the start to the end of the activity. The guides were able to provide us with the most fun in the activities, while ensuring that the safety was total at all times. They were absolutely fantastic.
I highlight the excellent organization, flexibility in the planning of the activities and the manifest knowledge and professionalism of the guides (both in Rio and on the Suspensa Bridge). To emphasize the cordiality and sympathy. Especially from the Pedros (Lapas and Teixeira). When we return, we will not hesitate to request the services of Just Come again. Continue the good work!
Big day. Friends, conviviality, big show. The Enterprise was simply IMPECABLE, I would say more, a Service of excellence, the sympathy, the care and above all the taste with which they did all this work, was unique. Congratulations to everyone and undoubtedly an experience to repeat.
Everything impeccable, staff 50 stars , strong advice, experience to repeat , thank you for everything
From start to finish very well advised both by Pedro Teixeira and guided by Pedro Lapas. The material in very good condition and the tranquility, patience and calm of Pedro Lapas made the experience very advisable and to repeat more intensely next time. Value for money very good and the whole family (boy of 9 and girl of 7) delighted. We stop for breaks, enjoy the river without hurry and have fun with the rapids. All situations very controlled and well advised to enjoy without any sense of risk / danger. We recommend and repeat
Very good Cano-Rafting activity provided. Enrolling and paying for the activity on the Enterprise website was easy. Professionalism and sympathy from the Enterprise monitors. New or semi-new used material, which is always very pleasant. I recommend this Enterprise for future activities. Excellent quality/price ratio.
Very simple booking process. An activity done in full safety, with an experienced and well disposed guide, who explained to us not only the technical issues, but also gave us a little more to know the region. Beautiful landscapes and the river with crystal clear waters!
Impeccable!!!!! Repeat!!! And trying other activities. Very good for starting families in more radical activities. Attention top!
A very fun experience in the middle of nature, with landscapes and fantastic environments. The kids loved it. I recommend those with children to try it especially for the first time at this time of year. We'll be back for sure.
Very good, little details to improve. I recommend doing, when I can I will repeat. Landscape Very, very beautiful to see. The guide Pedro Lapas, very good at everything and the girl Joana Nunes, a lot of sympathy and professionalism.
Fantastic experience! Thank you for your sympathy and professionalism. The kids loved it, it was BRUTAL!!! To repeat for sure.
Spectacular to remove fear! Adrenaline qb! Super friendly, Pedro! And then he even indicated an excellent bifana with "a prince"! I recommend!
Spectacular👍. I would like to thank Pedro for his professionalism, patience and sympathy. I recommend to all families
From the first contact via phone, to all the interactions we had with the staff (and were some with at least 4 elements at different times) the attention was 5 stars. The activity itself, excellent, well prepared with experienced staff, well disposed and with obvious pleasure in carrying out the work, making it also a pleasure for those who experience. Congratulations because you're doing a great job
We have a great time with Pedro who we feel loves his work and his area. He knew how to reassure us (2 novice children 8 and 11 years) and make us discover the beautiful region , we felt like in Ardèche! I really advise them, they work in collaboration with "casa do soutinho" and value together the economy and local products.
Cano-rafting was a fantastic experience. The guides are very attentive, attentive to the safety and fun of everyone. We made the route to the Sandinho. Between one quick and another there were the pools in the river where we stopped to swim and get the most out of the day. Super recommend!!!
Sorry the application only allow to select an activity when I did 3 in family and friends. Bridge 516 with the passages of Paiva, canyoning and rafting. Everything very well organized. Excellent professionals and sympathy. Top!
the activities are very well organized, very experienced guides and well equipped. I highly recommend just come!!!
3 days full of ardelanias. We did Passages and Bridge suspension, cano-Rafting and canoying. Team 5 stars.
One of the best weekends ever! We did cano-rafting, canyoning and the jeep tour and it was absolutely amazing! There are no words to describe the kindness and sympathy of the instructors, especially Pedro Teixeira, Pedro Lapas and José Pedro! It was a weekend that will stay in my memory forever! I encourage everyone to try even if it is an activity with Just Come, there is no way not to like it! The greatest success in the world for this spectacular Enterprise!!
It is impossible to describe what was provided to us except by the word EXCELLENT! We know we’ll have a good experience when we feel at home and with friends, and that’s exactly what I felt with this team! We were accompanied by Pedro Teixeira and Pedro Lapas in cano-rafting and Conyoning, complicated activities for some but that, accompanied by these two professionals, do with both legs on the back. We also made a UMM tour of Serra da Freita where Zé Pedro was an exceptional guide, giving us to know what is best in Arouca. Conclusion of everything: If you want to meet Arouca with "an unknown friend", the Just Come team is ideal for you! Thanks Just Come !!!!
We tried cano-rafting because we were no longer in rafting season, so we will definitely return! The whole experience was spectacular, from scheduling, to accompanying during the activity, impeccable equipment, everything excellent!
All excellent! Equipment in excellent condition, super competent and friendly guide and stunning landscapes! Transfer back to the starting point and sending (many) photos of the experience included. Repeat!
From the beginning Pedro was always very helpful, answering all questions and helping us to plan the best activity taking into account our schedule and interests. Cano-rafting was spectacular, with the opportunity to jump during the course. Besides the activities, we also got great suggestions on how to explore the passages and what to do in the area. We recommend 100%
Besides very fun, the guides were very attentive and professional, could not have run better! Super recommend
Very nice tour led by Pedro Teixeira with mastery! Advice is worth it! In addition to the tour of the river Paiva we did dives in its fantastic affluents. Repeat!
It was a spectacular and fun morning to experience rafting in the family. The flow was not very large but still gave to feel adrenaline on the route, which was complemented with stops for dives and jumps in the water. Pedro is a guide 5*, for the sympathy, for the safety care, for all the games and the will he has with the children (including those who are always asking questions!) and above all for the calm he transmits, it is even noticeable that he likes that everyone has the best possible experience. It was the second time we did activities with Just Come and in the end there is always the desire to come back!
We had a fantastic morning, full of laughs and unforgettable moments. Thanks to the spirit of Peter, there were never dead moments and we all left with memories forever. Thank you to Just Come for the organization and constant joy. Let's try other adventures with you!
Pedro was an excellent guide, having provided a fantastic and joyful afternoon. The opinion is general (from the youngest to the oldest): they were undoubtedly moments of great fun always guided with great professionalism and safety. I recommend and will definitely be to repeat.
We loved this experience with Pedro. Although the flow in the summer dropped, it was super fun. We were 5 adults and two children - one of 7 and another of 9 years old. We always feel safe and Pedro complements the canoe ride with jumps to the water and fun moments.
We headed to Arouca to spend a different birthday. We contacted Just Come who promptly provided us with the Cano-rafting experience. In addition to wonderful landscapes, Pedro Teixeira was a tireless and very helpful guide. Thank you to Just Come for the fantastic activity you provided us. We will definitely contact you soon for more experiences. Thank you
Super careful guide, attentive, fix and giant “help”! Level of exceptional professionalism and with a fabulous response capacity (we called at 10h is at 15h30m the same day we were in the river! ). Good permanent mood, dream spots and tremendous scarf jumps. Pedro will definitely return to perform more descents and other of the countless experiences that Just Come has!!!
It was a fantastic experience!!! We love it! It is a team of spectacular professionals: they like the work they do and do it from the bottom of their hearts.
Our experience with the activities offered by Just Come were fantastic. It's just like they say (Just Come), just come, the Enterprise organizes everything, thinks the smallest details. We had the opportunity to do the following activities: Cano-Rafting, Drave, the Magic Village – Walking Tour, Serra da Freita – Jeep Tour, Family Canyoning – Adventure, Historic Center of Arouca – Walking Tour. Everything went perfect! The whole Just Come team is excellent. Pedro Teixeira is a five-star guide, with a lot of knowledge about the region, conveying safety and tranquility in the activities. And you're ready for everything. It exceeded our expectations. In addition, everything was in accordance with the health recommendations of the DGS imposed at this time. In particular in the activity of Cano-Rafting was a true encounter with nature, stunning landscapes, excitement of entering the water. We highly recommend.
