Amazing. Good mix or sea,... - Amazing. Good mix or sea, mangroves/nature and the canals. A great way to see Paraty from a different angle. The kids and I loved it and felt very safe. Our guide spoke good English

Great! - I did this activity solo and ended up being the only one who booked, so the guide took me out privately! She did a great job tailoring it to my skill level and interests, and we even attempted to spot wild capybara! Unfortunately due to rainy/cloudy weather the sunset wasn’t visible, but it was a great trip regardless

Lovely trip with charming guide - Matteo our guide was great company and we had a delightful time paddling along the mangroves of paraty. We saw capybara! Then went out to sea a little way and around a small island. Matteo really made it a lovely trip and actually managed to get my husband to paddle properly which he’s never managed before. Highly recommend.

This was a brilliant... - This was a brilliant experience in Paraty despite the overcast weather. I can only imagine how amazing it would have been with some sunshine. Our guide was extremely friendly, patient and knowledgable, and provided us with pictures afterwards. We saw all sorts of birds and even a bright blue crab. Would fully recommend

Kayaking for every level - Nice kayak trip and also suitable if you can't kayak. You will get wet, so be prepared and a waterproof case for your phone is useful if you want to take pictures

Super fun experience! - The views on this tour were amazing! We saw a blue egret, some capybaras, and lots of other wildlife, in addition to the beautiful views of the mountains and beaches. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind, and even took some pictures of us during the experience.

Worth the trip!! I loved it! - I took a walk with Brenda who's a sweetheart. Very friendly, lively and concerned with the preservation of the environment. The part of the mangrove is quite cool, an incredible silence and passing through the River Pereque-Açu following its course to the beach was too much! I highly recommend!!

Kayak a Parati (Sea + River/Mangrove) - Very nice. Beautiful discovery, beautiful landscape. A little pollution in the waterways. A little rainy but pleasant weather and the sea was warm.

Mangroves and Capybara - Had a lovely circular route from the old town beach, passed the fort, and around through the mangroves - returning to the start point via the Perequê-Açu River. We were very fortunate to see a whole herd (apparently the appropriate collective noun) of capybaras on both sides, complete with two adorable babies… our guide Milla was thoughtful and looked after us very well. They can provide dry bags, have camera bags (for sale maybe) or you can leave valuables behind safely. If you’re looking for a bit of outdoor exercise, I would recommend. My wife and I had a double kayak… get your rhythm going and enjoy!
