Rio de Janeiro · CANOES & KAYAKS
5 tours
The good canoes & kayaks tours in Rio fill up first, especially between December and Carnival. Below are the 5 best, each with a current price and what makes it different, so you can book before the calendar closes.
Kayak Paraty mangroves near Paraty, Brazil, with a guide, wildlife spotting, and sunset views. Gear and instruction included.
“It was a very nice two and half hour tour with Brenda who explained a lot about the local flora and fauna. We even manages to see capibara. The kayaking was very pleasant and easy for everyone.”
Sunrise stand-up paddle on Copacabana Beach. Learn SUP basics, paddle to the horizon, and get a photo and video package.
“Pior experiência da minha vida! Conselho que dou é NÃO FAÇAM. Primeiro que fui no ponto de encontro e não tinha ninguém lá, cheguei 4h15 e o horário marcado era às 4h30. Daí fiquei em plena madrugada do Rio esperando responderem as minhas mensagem ou atenderem as minhas ligações e nada. Daí tive que ir na orla da praia saindo de quiosque em quiosque procurando o responsável pela atividade. Só conseguir fazer pois tinha um lá que tinha parceria com a “ empresa” ao qual contratei, caso contrário não iria conseguir fazer a atividade. O rapaz que me atendeu me passou a informação que eles não tinham mais o ponto…”
Sunset kayak in Paraty’s mangroves with easy paddling, small groups, capybaras and birds, plus equipment included for a 2-hour outing.
“This was such a great tour! Brenda was a wonderful guide and showed us so many cool things. Highly recommend.”
Kayak through Paraty’s mangroves from Pontal Beach, with calm-water paddling, small groups, local guides, and possible capybara sightings.
“What a cool experience! Brenda was an amazing guide, who has a great sense of humour and clearly has a passion for doing this tour! I may not have been the best kayaker, but she was patient and made sure it was an unforgettable experience! We kayaked around a beautiful island inhabited by all sorts of exotic birds and then kayaked through a mangrove seeing capybaras. I highly recommend this tour! Thanks Brenda and Paulo!”
Paddle Paraty Bay on a calm kayak route, swim on island beaches, and (when tides allow) explore mangroves with red crabs.
“It was great! We went to a beautiful beach and get to swim there. We went to an other part of the mangroves when we could not enter the original one due to the tides, which was super nice and thoughtful. We saw a bunch of birds and other animals and Giuliano told us so much about the nature around Paraty. Highly recommend the tour! Muito obrigada Giuliano”
