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!!

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!

Pricier than most other... - 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.

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.
