Explore Paraty Bay by boat, stopping at four beaches and islands for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, fruit, coffee, and a caipirinha option.
“Lovely day out with 4 stops of 20-40 minutes each. Food and drinks available to purchase (main courses cost 60 BRL and were big enough to share between two if you don’t have a huge appetite). The crew spoke limited English, but a couple of crew members went out of their way to translate into English for us which was much appreciated! N.B. Our ticket included a free caipirinha but the crew weren’t aware so make sure to ask for it.”

“The trip itself was good, and Rodriguez is an energetic guide, who clearly enjoys his job. Thank you... The organization of the trip, could be improved. The pick up time, at my hotel was identified as 07:00. Since I always endeavour to be on time, I was out front at 06:55. As I waited outside and saw 2 tour vans go by, I thought this is the one...no such luck, then 2 school buses go by.

Daí fiquei em plena madrugada do Rio esperando responderem as minhas mensagem ou atenderem as minhas ligações e nada. Daí tive que ir na orla da praia saindo de quiosque em quiosque procurando o responsável pela atividade. Só conseguir fazer pois tinha um lá que tinha parceria com a “ empresa” ao qual contratei, caso contrário não iria conseguir fazer a atividade. O rapaz que me atendeu me passou a informação que eles não tinham mais o ponto…”
