You control how long to stay at each stop within the five-hour window, and can add lunch on the beach or bring your own snack. The crew is trained and based in Paraty, and the route adjusts to what you want to do.

The Experience

The boat leaves with your group and a qualified sailor who knows the waters around Paraty. You'll reach the fishing island first—a natural aquarium where the snorkeling happens—then move through the blue lagoon and Lula Beach before stopping at Red Beach for a longer break. Within the five-hour total, you decide how much time each place gets. If the fishing island is where you want to be, stay longer. If you'd rather spend the afternoon at Red Beach, the schedule bends to fit.

Snorkel gear, spaghetti and an ice cooler come on board. Bar service runs during the tour (drinks cost extra). Lunch on the beach is optional—you can order it there, or bring your own snack and eat what you brought. The crew handles the logistics; you handle the pace.

Children from age one are welcome, and the tour suits all fitness levels. Public transportation options are available near the departure point if you need them.
