Highlights of the Kayak Tour in Paraty
Avoid the crowds at deserted, sandy beaches in the bay
Stunningly beautiful, the bay of Paraty is best experienced on this guided kayak tour to tropical islands and deserted sandy beaches.
​
Quietly paddling your kayak through the protected waters of the bay of Paraty makes you feel closer to your natural surroundings, enables you to see more wildlife and gives you unique access to the tropical mangrove ecosystem.
​
During the kayak tour we usually see lots of different bird species: hunting, diving or just taking a ride on the thermal air currents. Jumping fish, turtles and sometimes even dolphins can appear on the route depending on the time of year.
See the Mangrove ecosystem up close and personal
The tour finishes with an unforgettable paddle through the mangrove, which is not accessible by boat, observing the wildlife of this incredible ecosystem up close. For the uninitiated the raw yet delicate beauty of the mangrove intertidal forests comes as a rewarding surprise.
​
The mangroves have a critical role in supporting marine life and during the warmer spring/summer months from November to February it is positively heaving with crabs as they leave their burrows for the mating season. We almost always see mangrove tree crabs, edible swamp ghost crabs and the striking red mangrove crabs.
