Boat trip through the Bay of Paraty: small groups, five stopsA boat trip through the Bay of Paraty with stops at Red Beach, two swimming islands, a lagoon and a smaller island, aboard a 32-passenger boat with a live Portuguese-speaking guide. The boat carries floats, a freshwater shower, bathroom and bar; the tour runs five hours and suits families and groups looking to avoid the large commercial boats that run the same route.Is it for me?Book this one if your group wants to swim and explore multiple islands without joining the large commercial boats that run the same bay route. The smaller passenger count and onboard amenities (shower, floats, bar) make the difference for families and friends traveling together.
Private Boat Tour Paraty Bay: Islands & Beaches, 5 People MaxA private boat tour of Paraty Bay for up to 5 people, exploring islands and beaches on the Myrna Loy with a live guide in English or Spanish. The boat operates on a hop-on, hop-off model, so you choose which stops to visit and how long to stay at each one. Floaters and bottled water are included; infants sit on an adult's lap.Is it for me?The boat moves at your pace, not a schedule — if your group wants to linger at one beach or skip a stop entirely, the guide adjusts. This works best for travelers who'd rather control the day than follow a fixed route, and for small groups (up to 5) who want the bay without the crowd.
Snorkeling in Paraty: Private Boat Tour, 5 HoursA five-hour private boat tour in Paraty takes you to a fishing island (natural aquarium ideal for snorkeling), blue lagoon, Lula Beach and Red Beach, with snorkel gear, spaghetti and ice cooler on board. 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.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a private boat and the freedom to linger at the stops that matter most to you. The five-hour window is fixed, but how you spend it inside that frame is yours to decide.

Paraty Bay: Schooner Tour with Swim Stops & LunchYou’ll sail across Paraty Bay on a classic schooner with stops for swimming and snorkeling at four islands or beaches. Enjoy a traditional Brazilian lunch on board, taste fresh tropical fruits, sip coffee as you return, and share laughs with locals—all with gear included for your day out on the water.
Paraty Schooner Cruise and Snorkeling: four island stopsA five-hour schooner cruise through Paraty's bay with four snorkeling stops at named reefs and beaches, mask and snorkel provided at each one. The boat departs from Paraty Tourism Pier in the Historic Center; you collect your voucher there no more than 30 minutes before departure. Each stop lasts 40 minutes, and lunch can be ordered at the start to be served aboard during the third stop at Blue Lagoon.Is it for me?If you're in Paraty without a car or a plan to reach the reefs, the schooner picks up the logistics—you show up at the pier, the crew handles the boat and the stops, and you spend the day swimming instead of arranging it.
Saco do Mamangua Speedboat Tour from Paraty: Three Snorkel StopsA speedboat tour from Paraty into Saco do Mamangua, a 8 km fjord with 33 beaches and mangrove habitat, includes three stops for snorkeling with a professional guide, snorkel gear and mask. The five-hour trip departs daily; children from age 6 are welcome, and you'll need to pick up your voucher by 8:30am at the Paraty Tours agency on Avenida Roberto Silveira.Is it for me?Book this if you want to cover multiple snorkel spots in one morning—the speedboat gets you between three locations quickly, so you see more reef and marine life than a single-beach visit allows.

Mamangua Sugarloaf Peak hike from Paraty: tropical fjord viewsThis full-day hiking and boat tour from Paraty takes you by speedboat to Saco do Mamanguá, Brazil's only tropical fjord, where you hike Mamangua Sugarloaf Peak with a local English-speaking guide for panoramic views of the bays and rainforest-covered mountainsides. The hike takes about 1 hour 20 minutes up; after descending, you swim and have lunch at a beach restaurant on Cruzeiro Beach before returning to Paraty by boat. A minimum of 2 people per booking is required, and moderate fitness is necessary for the steep terrain.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full-day hike and swim combined in one trip—the speedboat from Paraty and English-speaking guide are included, so you're not coordinating separate services.
