I discovered Kayak Paraty through travelers on YouTube. Intrigued by their images and stories, I decided DE go there myself to book a kayak trip. There, I met Mateo. A few exchanges, a relaxed atmosphere, and voila, the exit was set for the next day.
On D-Day, there were four of us, accompanied by Mateo, ready to embark on a planned two-hour balla DE... which eventually turned into six hours of adventure. But who really counts, when you’re in the heart DE the mangrove, slaloming between the roots, observing flamingos, birds whose name I don’t know anymore, and even a sea turtle that gave me a look like: "He's not going to finish the ride." Spoiler: she was not completely wrong.
EN route, we took a break on an absolutely beautiful, secluded beach with transparent waters. The perfect opportunity to swim, cool off and enjoy the paradisiacal setting, far DE all.
Fortunately, Mateo showed incredible patience. At one point, he even boarded my kayak with me to help me paddle. Thanks to him, the return was in a good mood, EN song and without stress.
And EN middle DE day: a dream lunch DE, feet in the water, postcard atmosphere, simple and magical.
A huge thank you to Mateo for this unforgettable adventure, shared with our Belgian Team, full DE laughter, DE discoveries and DE raw nature. An experience to live, really.
Great outing in Paraty Bay, thank you to Mateu for his explanations in English, French and Spanish!
Beautiful landscapes, especially the Bird Island.
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.
