“The views of the bay are amazing! We didn’t get into the mangrove area because the tide was too low. But the guide was very good and accommodating. For example, we got pretty tired, so he suggested we paddle to a restaurant where we could rest for lunch. Fantastic food and a relaxing beach.”

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”
