Just the best - AMAZING. If you are in the area then this is a must, if you are not in the area then travel her for it!
We took the 2 person sup canoe. Very stable, the sea was glassy calm and crystal clear, and the rock formations were incredible.
Hugo was so so helpful and friendly,
I highly recommend.
Just perfect.

The best views - One of my favorite places for sup. The coast is very beautiful and full of places that you cannot access otherwise. I repeat whenever I have the opportunity, the availability and friendliness are incredible :)

Fantastic Experience! - Had a fantastic time stand up paddle boarding around beautiful praia do alemão and João de arens. We were complete beginners but our lovely guide Hugo was very patient and helpful and we got the hang of it by the end! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area, safely navigating us around the rocks and through some caves and tunnels taking into account the sea conditions. Would highly recommend.

Great paddle tour in and around the caves - I had some time to spare and was able to get a late booking to enjoy this great experience. Going in and out of the caves was excellent and Hugo was a great guide.
Very happy to recommend.
