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.

It was a Great experience. Adriano was knowledgeable in the local customs and history which made the entire experience that much better! We had plenty of opportunities for photos in all the must see spots In Rio!!! I don't think there would be a better way to see all the things we were able to see! Adriano our guide was even kind enough to take photos of us along the way. I was surprised but my favorite part of the trip was sambódromo cathedral!!

Go some 3000 years back in history, learn about the first people to live in the Island, see their signs and be amazed about Ilha Grande's important role in Brazilian history. Nature is a spectacle of its own, with beaches and natural pool, better to have a swimming costume. Activities like snorkelling can also be practised on private tours.

Bruno took us on a full exploration of this wonderful eco-rich island - Bruno took us from the city up into the mountains and our reward after 10, 400 steps was ....a wonderful waterfull fed by fresh mountain water - it was invigorating and the big reward for the hike - Afterward wqe hike down to the beach and had a nice lunch overlooking the water and then a swim - Bruno gave us a detailed history of the city and is versed in the trees , fauna and wildlife - we saw a variety of trees , and plant life and one snake ! (harmless!) We are a middle age couple and were able to do it - don't think you are not up to it - Bruno walked with us at our pace and was there to help up the inclines - As I said - it is rewarding and a great way to see this beautiful island !

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..

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

Oh my goodness, we could not say enough good things about Priscillya!! She is the best!!! She is knowledgeable, bubbly, warm, and her ability to switch between English and Portuguese was mind blowing! The day was organized and we hit every major site in Rio in eight hours. We never felt rushed and Priscillya set times and meeting spots for our group to keep things flowing. So necessary, because the whole day had so many amazing photo ops! The fact that this tour included admission to Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain and a full Brazilian steak lunch is absurd. What a bargain!! Would 100% recommend!
