This was a great day to visit some of the lovely bays around the Paraty islands. I was part of a group of 12. The staff were very friendly and made a real effort to make the tour as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We visited four beaches and we were on the larger of the three schooners, which was the number II. My only slight complaint would be the use of the speaker to call people's orders out. The weather was great, which obviously helped, but great value for money and a lovely day out.

We had two amazing days with Michael. We did the kayaking on the Friday and hiking on the Saturday. Both were fantastic experiences. Michael was a superb guide and a really nice guy who my partner and I enjoyed spending time with. I would highly recommend. Michael knew a lot about the history of Paraty, the geography and the people. This made our holiday what it was.

Our guide, Louis, was brilliant and so were the drivers. They were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The group’s safety if people chose to swim at the waterfalls was clearly their highest priority. Really enjoyable day. The staff at Paraty tours (who run the jeep safari) were also great. I lost something valuable whilst at the distillery, the distillery called the office to tell them they’d found it before I’d even noticed I’d lost it. When I got back to the office, the staff arranged for a driver to go pick it up for me. Overall fantastic service. Only downside was 2 hour break for lunch. Tour would’ve been better as 4 hours without the late lunch stop instead of 6 hours

Visited 4 falls with ample time for having a dip or slide...on to a place distilling Cachaça and tasting then a stop for a meal and another stop at cascades before returning...This requires strong shoes, flip flops are nor good enough as some area inviolve walking over rocks, vegetation and tree branches...I recommend you bring a towel and swimming costume as you will get wet. Take a camera as stunning shots are awaiting you..
