The good canoe & kayak trips in Brazil go early, and the best of them vanish entirely over Carnival and New Year. Current prices, plus what separates each from the next, are set out below.
Kayak Paraty mangroves and canals from Pontal beach, spotting birds, herons, capybaras, and sunset views, with English-speaking guide.
“A nice leisurely way to spend the morning exploring Paraty from a different view. Definitely suitable for beginners to Kayaking.”
Paddle semi-oceanic kayaks through Rio Vermelho and Lagoa da Conceição, with guided training, Atlantic Forest views, and flexible routes.
“La remada por zonas realmente naturales. Parque y lago. Quia excelente y muy empática. Es algo para repetir”
SUP at Copacabana at sunrise, calm water, easy basics, and a handy photo and video package, plus lockers and a waterproof phone case.
“Pior experiência da minha vida! Conselho que dou é NÃO FAÇAM. Primeiro que fui no ponto de encontro e não tinha ninguém lá, cheguei 4h15 e o horário marcado era às 4h30. 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…”
Kayak Paraty’s sunset route takes you through Paraty’s mangroves and Ilha dos Pombos, with calm water, wildlife, and small-group pacing.
“Fine kayak tour - as expected all the way through. No real sunset, but that cannot be blamed on them ;)”
Kayak Paraty’s mangroves from Pontal Beach, paddle calm waters, learn the ecosystem, and choose a 2-hour capybara route or 3-hour scenic option.
“the beautiful nature in its purity the beautiful nature in its purity the beautiful nature in its purity”
A 3-hour guided hike and kayak or SUP on the Iguazu River near Foz do Iguaçu, plus an Atlantic Forest trail and waterfall swim.
“There was no SUP option. I was disappointed. My husband enjoyed the activity but I thought it was boring. Far too many logistics to overcome and not enough time doing the activity, which was underwhelming - 20 mins hike, 20 -30 mins kayak, 30-40 mins at a waterfall, 20-30 mins kayak, 20 mins hike.”
Kayak Paraty Bay in modern double kayaks with expert safety. Swim on beaches, then try mangroves and red crabs with tide.
“It was great! We went to a beautiful beach and get to swim there. We went to an other part of the mangroves when we could not enter the original one due to the tides, which was super nice and thoughtful. We saw a bunch of birds and other animals and Giuliano told us so much about the nature around Paraty. Highly recommend the tour! Muito obrigada Giuliano”
