Ferradurinha Beach Búzios Stand Up Paddle Calm Water

Paddle across flat water and explore Búzios' quietest coastline at your own speed

A stand up paddle experience on the crystal-clear, calm waters of Ferradurinha Beach in Búzios, where you explore the coastline at your own pace for about an hour. The beach has no waves, making it ideal for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. A guide provides a brief safety and technique introduction before you paddle, and life jacket, board and paddle are all included.

The experience

Ferradurinha Beach is known for its still, transparent water and absence of waves: the conditions that make stand up paddling accessible whether you're trying it for the first time or you've paddled before. You get an hour on the water to move at whatever pace feels right, gliding over the surface and taking in the coastal scenery of Búzios without fighting current or swell. The guide covers safety and basic technique before you start, so you can paddle with confidence.

The setup is straightforward: life jacket, paddle and board are provided. You'll have time to photograph the water and the shoreline, and to simply float and take in the quiet of the place. The experience is built around exploration and relaxation rather than speed or distance, which is what the flat water and the small group size make possible.
