5Extraordinary experience! Highly recommended!
Extraordinary experience, highly recommended! Brenda is a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable and great fun!
5Wonderful time on the water
Wonderful experience. Brenda was our guide and she was fantastic and so much fun. Got to see different flowers and plant species, bird species, a capybara resting in the mangroves, and the casitas along the canal edge. Highly recommended.
4Chilled out kayaking experience
I happened to be the only person who booked for the 09:00 kayak mangrove tour that day. Brenda was a very chilled out guide and I enjoyed my outing with her. My only complaint was that there were no details of when the trip commenced when I booked the excursion. My phone call was not answered. Eventually the boss got in touch and told me I could chose a 09:00 trip or 16:00. If you are booking this go in the morning as the sea is calm. It can get a bit choppy in the afternoon due to the wind.
5Amazing kayaking experience - easy for beginners!
What a cool experience! Brenda was an amazing guide, who has a great sense of humour and clearly has a passion for doing this tour! I may not have been the best kayaker, but she was patient and made sure it was an unforgettable experience! We kayaked around a beautiful island inhabited by all sorts of exotic birds and then kayaked through a mangrove seeing capybaras. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks Brenda and Paulo!
5Great Tour Guide and Better Views
Originally scheduled for the mangroves tour, but sometimes the tide is too low to allow access so I was placed on the islands tour instead. They gave me the option of a free cancelation, but I decided to continue to the islands. The islands were beautiful, all containing fascinating kinds of birds and vegetation. Our tour guide, Brenda, was hilarious and informative, able to answer questions about each island you visit. We were able to stop at some private, small beaches and go swimming. She also took many photos and videos, and sent them to me! Would recommend to anyone trying to see more of the bay in a fun, shorter amount of time.
5Great tour in the mangroves
I higly recommend this tour ! Brenda is really nice and will teach you a lot on the beautiful nature of Paraty ! You will enjoy stuning landscapes during a calm kayaking tour far from the tourists. If you like nature and are looking for a great ecotourism activity, don't wait any further ! Definetely the best tour I did in Paraty :)

About Paraty
Paraty is a Portuguese colonial port on Brazil's Green Coast, with whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and a bay full of forested islands.
Paraty grew rich in the eighteenth century as the port where Minas Gerais gold was shipped towards Rio and Portugal, and its historic centre, a World Heritage Site, keeps the whitewashed houses, painted doors and rounded stone streets of that time. The streets slope so that the highest tides flood them, a design said to wash them clean. Small churches once served different communities, among them Santa Rita, Nossa Senhora do Rosário and Nossa Senhora das Dores.
Top-ranked sights in Paraty: Paraty Bay, Cachoeira Toboga, Gold Path (Caminho do Ouro).
