Tour Itinerary
The tour begins at the meeting point in Paraty, where guides provide a safety briefing and distribute equipment. The group then launches into the calm waters of Paraty Bay to begin the paddling route.
Kayaks enter narrow mangrove channels where the canopy closes overhead and the sounds of the open bay fade. Guides point out bird species, root systems, and the ecological role of this habitat.
The group paddles to a secluded white sand beach for a scheduled rest. Participants can walk the shoreline, swim in shallow water, or simply take in the surrounding landscape.
The route continues to an uninhabited island where snorkeling equipment is used to explore the underwater environment. This is the highlight stop of the tour, offering calm and clear conditions for first-time snorkelers.
After the island stop, the group kayaks back across the bay toward the starting point. Guides may take an alternate coastal route depending on tidal and wind conditions.
