Pico do Papagaio

Reviewed By 394maggiet

Martin was a an absolute joy to work with. He is professional and knowledgeable while still making the experience fun and enjoyable. We completed both the parrot peak hike and also the sunset canoe trip. Martins tours are an amazing experience and I highly recommend him if you enjoy staying active while on the island. During our time we were able to experience a variety of unforgettable moments including watching one of the most spectacular sunrises I’ve ever seen and swimming with bioluminescence. Martin keeps the mood light and also provided us with amazing photos of the entire adventure for no additional cost. 10/10 recommend!

Saco do Mamangua Beach

Reviewed By NewWorldSurfer - San Francisco, United States

Like most special places in the World, you pay dues to get there. If it is too easy it is ruined by overcrowding and inconsiderate people. The big issue here is the last 5 kilometers of the "road" to Paraty Mirim. Heavily washboarded and lots of mud. We made it in a rental car but if was rainy would be very easy to get stuck in the shin deep mud. 4X4 better, with higher ground clearance but lots do it in regular cars. Parking 20R for the day. The boatman would not go lower than 250R return despite dozens of boats and not so many customers. We are FIT travellers and refuse to go on tours with groups. This was true even before the Wuhan plague but all the more critical now. We did see the small bus so you can do it the cheap way for less than the cost of parking. The main beach was soso and crowded. You must hire boat to get to the world class beaches in the Saco (fjord) of Mamangua itself. The drive first suggested taking us to a beach with a restaurant which we declined. We bring our own cooler with food and deinks and asked for the best beach (which means undeveloped). Euginho Beach did not disappoint. Freshwater stream emerging from pile of rounbded rocks which meets the sea and very pristine sand , HUGE shade tree and restroom are only "facilities". and reef.

Lopes Mendes Beach

Reviewed By ElaineE24 - Dublin, Ireland

One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to. You can get a taxi boat out from Abroaa to Pousa ( 25 real) and from there it’s a 15 minute walk through the jungle to get here. White sandy beaches and crystal blue water will greet you on arrival! Be prepared it gets quite busy but you can walk much further down the beach to get a quiet spot. They also have lifeguards working. They don’t have any facilities on the beach so make sure you pack a picnic and some beers.

Lagoa Azul

Reviewed By Judamatta

It’s of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Take goggles or rent with your tour company, it is totally worth it. You will see different types of sea life including turtles and starfish!

Paraty Bay

Reviewed By Paulschimel

We had excellent tour to Paraty from Rio. Our tour guide/driver was Newton from C2Rio. The scenery on the drive is beautiful and Newton’s descriptions of the places and history were excellent. This is a great way to see the historical city of Paraty and area around Rio. This is a full day trip. Allow 5 hours travel each way and 4-5 hours in Paraty or stay in one of many available hotels.

Cachoeira do Toboga

Reviewed By E8026HSrobertj - London, United Kingdom

We went on the waterfall/jungle tour with Jango Tours and the Toboga was one of our stops on the day. The surfers at this spot are insane, blindfolding themselves with leaves while flipping and sliding down the rocks on their feet! It is an amazing natural formation that is loads of fun to slide down a few times into the natural, cool pool. Don't miss the chance to do this if you're in the area.

Praia do Cachadaco

Reviewed By wetandhappy - Poole, United Kingdom

This amazing beach was all we wanted. We plonked ourselves at a cafe/restaurant half way down the beach - the first. They were really helpful- left us to chill and looked after our needs when we needed them- they helped with translation as our Portuguese was/is poor ???? We had the most wonderful lunch- a huge and whole fish, salad, rice washed down with some great cocktails. I also spent a lot of the time in the sea enjoying the force of nature. We caught a bus with the locals from Paraty and had a great day overall. Recommend this to get away from it all ????
