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…”

“My sister and I had took the horse riding tour in January of this year and it was an amazing experience. Raul has a really deep love for his horses and nature. I really enjoyed his explanation of how he trains his horses. It felt like he works with them in such a humane and understanding way. But he is also great with people. I am a complete novice at riding but he is was very patient with me. I highly recommend this tour.”
