What’s the experience like?

First light in Paraty is something else. I remember the air felt cool, almost salty, as we pushed our canoes into the water before most folks were even awake. The bay was glassy—just a few ripples from our paddles and the distant call of a fisherman setting out. Our guide, Lucas, pointed out tiny crabs scuttling near the mangroves and told us how the tide changes everything here.

You get to choose—kayak or Canadian canoe. We drifted quietly past tangled roots, spotting herons perched like statues. The sun crept up behind the hills, lighting up the pastel houses along the shore. There’s this moment when you just stop paddling and float, listening to nothing but water lapping against your boat. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch that sweet smell of wet earth from the mangroves—honestly, it sticks with you.
