Paddle Paraty Bay to quiet beaches, islands, and a tide-dependent mangrove on this small-group kayak tour with expert guides.
“Unnecessary long puddling which doesn’t worth the effort. finally we visited only one mediocre beach easily accessible by land. Mangrove was interesting, but could be quicker reached from the starting point. Be ready to strangle on the way back as the current takes you away from the land. Not smth very difficult, but we preferred to be warned about it and given better tecnics to cope. PS we are pretty physically fit couple 😜 conclusion: don’t lose you time unless you are a big fun of puddling PS positive side: our guide juliano was a nice and very friendly person, speaking fluent English although we booked the trip in Portuguese…”
