Super activity in Paraty Bay - Great outing in Paraty Bay, thank you to Mateu for his explanations in English, French and Spanish! Beautiful landscapes, especially the Bird Island.

Great 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.

Great 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 :)

Lovely day - The whole journey is incredible . Just by lying on kayak do nothing already a good day , together with the warm sea water, bit work out , and amazingly kind ‘coach’ and company form the group , all made a superb morning . Our lady guide ( sorry forget her name ) explain things to us well , point the bird and crab , take picture for us . But what I like the most is her enthusiasm about nature and life . She doesn’t see it as a job. She only see it as a fun day out . Kayak paraty is a kind group of people , happy to do again with them .

Mangroves & colored crabs - We had a lovely time paddling across the open water, with a stop on the way to check out the view from a pier, then on to the mangroves to cruise along looking for red, black & the large yellow crabs. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Remember to take mosquito repellent for the midges in the mangroves. We finished and shared a beer or two on the beach which caped off the day nicely.

Great tour for beginners! - Excellent ride, duration and difficulty suitable for all levels, from the most beginner. Double kayak is good for going faster, but you have to worry about coordinating the pace of the finish. The individual kayak is slower, requires more effort, but gives more freedom to manoeuvre. I highly recommend the trip with Brenda.

Walk in the mangrove - A very fun tour and a very different experience. It was the first to do a kayak ride but we managed to follow the group. The instructor Paulo is super good people, funny and knows how to teach super well :)

A unique experience for those who love nature - Lots of local flora. It's a very different view from Paraty. I've been there several times and I've never seen what I saw on that walk. It's a reasonable physical effort for the arm, but super safe. A tour for those who love nature.

Misleading & Dissapointing - The tour is advertised as a mangrove tour, but in reality it's just kayaking under the sun for three hours and going into a mangrove for ten minutes. The guide didn't seem to care and except for a brief "class" on how to kayak before starting, he left us on our own and we had to follow him from afar. After about an hour of kayaking, we took a quick break and the guide told us to rest for a bit and go to the bathroom if we needed to. He then walked towards the building and stayed on his phone. After one of us exited the toilet asking why there wasn't any running water to flush or wash our hands, the guide told us we weren't allowed to use the facilities as they were private property and that if we needed to go to the bathroom, we had the ocean for that.
