An ACA certified course in a sea kayaker's paradise
This one day sea kayak course is run by an American Canoe Association (ACA) qualified sea kayak instructor in the picturesque colonial town of Paraty. Located midway between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Paraty is easily accessible by road yet far enough from the big cities to offer you the most amazing sea kayaking in Brazil.
On this one day course we work on the main sea kayaking techniques, manoeuvres and rescues in the warm water bay of Paraty. With over 50 islands and more than 100 beaches Paraty has been rightly called a 'sea kayaker’s paradise' by National Geographic Magazine. The perfect scenario for developing your paddling skills!

Reviews
I took a kayak class with Michael recently in preparation for a bigger 3 day kayak trip and it was amazing. We started by getting some general theory and safety lessons on kayaking, and then headed off paddling. Along the way we learned different paddling techniques, with great demos and instructions from Michael, and we had plenty of time to practice as we paddled through in the bay. Eventually we learned how to how to perform rescues and how to get back into our kayaks after capsizing, so by the end of it I was much more confident in my paddling abilities!
