Magical mangroves, beautiful views and a kind guide - We had a wonderful morning with Brenda, our kayak guide, enjoying the beautiful water of the sea, and mangrove, and river. The circular route took about 2 hours and we were fortunate enough to have very still waters. Brenda told us about birds and animals and plants along the way (in English, Spanish or Portuguese). The row around the island has some spectacular views across Paraty and the islands, with the mountains in the background. The mangrove was my favourite stretch, we carried the kayaks a few metres from the sea into the river and it was very gentle rowing while watching crabs, birds and fish jumping up. The atmosphere was magical - a really unique experience with dense foliage either side and mountain views in front. The final part was along the river and round back to the beach where we started, where there were lots of bright red crabs on the walls either side. Brenda went at our pace, took some nice pics as we went (which she later sent on to me) and was a kind and informative guide. Bit recommendation!

Kayaking in paradise - Lovely received, by arguing with the taxi too late but were lucky that we were the only ones and so they could wait. Dear people, with passion for kayaking. We made a lovely round with the icing on the cake a capybara seen. We love being on the water and we succeeded.

Kayaking Paraty - 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!

Good but should have been better - I enjoyed the trip a lot. As a novice the kayaking was tricky at times, particularly at the start when we were rowing against the current but the views were worth it. The guide was not great however which was a pity. He was impatient and had very little solid information or stories to enhance the experience. We still enjoy it overall but in another guide's hands it could have been wonderful.
