We had a wonderful day on board the Porto Seguro, the guide was very nice (even if he didn't speak English) and we really liked being in a small group (11 passengers). In addition, we recommend that you do the Pão de Açúcar hike because it will take you to a moment cut off from time, a panorama of the entire bay of Paraty, which is nevertheless worth it because the climb requires a little cardio and good sneakers (400 meters of elevation, count about 1h30) To conclude, we note the fact that fresh water is available at will on the boat and the mask and snorkel are provided during swimming, which is very appreciable.

5 out of 5 stars

The waterfalls are worth seeing and you can even swim and slide down the rocks... Beautifully located restaurant for a lunch break with self-service. A lovely trip! The guide speaks broken English, but that doesn't bother us. Great rainforest landscape!
