3.Trindade Fishing Village, Beach Trek and Snorkeling Tour from Paraty

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $59Best value

6-hour hike from Paraty to Trindade, four beaches and Atlantic Forest, then snorkel Caixa d’Aço natural pool, plus beach time.

“We had nine people on the tour - nice and manageable. The first short trek was quite steep but the views were great! The big boulders were remarkable. The trek to the “pool” was very challenging but for a little more money (25brl), you can take a quick boat ride to the pool. Lunch on the beach was excellent but enough to feed a family of four (we were just two). We would have liked to have had more time in Paraty but had to rush to return to our cruise tender.”

4.Piranha Fishing

★★★★★★★★★★2.4 · 5 reviews · 2 hours · from $130

Two-hour Manaus outing with Adolpho Lisboa Market history, canoe time on the Amazon, and guided piranha fishing for $130.

“Guide didn’t show up. I sent WhatsApp messages the day before to confirm, no reply. I waited for an hour at the meeting point the next day, called and messaged them repeatedly but to no avail. I know some others left positive reviews but it seems like this provider only does their job when they feel like it, as seen from the other negative review stating they didn’t turn up as well. Don’t risk it and just go book something else with another tour company. Complete waste of time, I’m definitely blacklisting this company.”
