Kayak through Paraty Bay mangroves and beaches with a small group, safety-first instruction, and possible red-crab sightings on a 4-hour trip.
“It was great! We went to a beautiful beach and get to swim there. 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”
