What you can expect
Get away from traditional tourism and explore an environmental reserve still within the city of Rio de Janeiro!
We offer a complete immersion in the nature of Rio de Janeiro's West Zone, combining a beach tour, contact with nature, adventure, stunning scenery and gastronomy.
During the experience, you'll go stand-up paddleboarding through the mangroves of the environmental reserve, relax on pristine beaches, and discover a little-known side of the city.
What will we do?
We'll meet at the meeting point and head to a more remote part of the city, passing along much of Rio de Janeiro's coastline on the way.
Upon arrival, we'll set off on a Stand Up Paddle/Paddleboard trip through the mangroves, exploring natural channels and observing the local flora. During the journey, we'll take breaks for contemplation.
On the return trip, you can also choose a beach to enjoy a moment of relaxation, take in the views, and connect with nature and the sea.
Then we'll head to another location, where we can spot local wildlife in their natural habitat, such as capybaras and alligators.
The entire activity respects nature and the local ecosystem, and there is no risk to any animals or to the participants. We always keep a safe and responsible distance. We only observe the animals; there is no direct contact with them, always prioritizing the safety of both parties.
