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

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

Pricier than most other activities we did in Brazil but well worth it! It is run by a husband and wife who are super friendly. We had a fabulous time with our fantastic tour guide who spoke English, Spanish, and Portuguese and was great fun! We paddled around the bay and then up the canals at a lovely leisurely pace, with time to chat, learn about the region, and she stopped regularly to point out wildlife including birds, crabs and capybaras! The equipment was in good condition, we were provided lifejackets and a choice between single or double kayaks. They also had secure storage for our belongings to be kept while we were out on the water.

It's an easy ride, not too difficult, with a few breaks. Enjoyable nonetheless. Mateo was fun to talk too.

Beautiful tour which includes kayaking on both the sea and in freshwater down Paraty’s canals. Were able to see lots of birds and even a capybara in the mangroves!

It was a very nice two and half hour tour with Brenda who explained a lot about the local flora and fauna. We even manages to see capibara. The kayaking was very pleasant and easy for everyone.
