Beautiful views and fun hike - This hike was excellent! The views are so much more beautiful than the photos online show, we got to see banana trees, beaches, and many butterflies. It's quite physical, with some minor scrambling and moments of going off track, but achievable if you're fairly active or used to hiking. The view at the final beach is completely worth it and the hike will be adjusted to your fitness/level of challenge. I recommend you bring snacks, something sugary and plenty of water so it's comfortable.

Great! - Amazing tour, would recommend! Even on a cold and rainy day we had a great time. The rain helped keep others off the island and we essentially had a private tour of the entire island.

Favorite Brazilian experience - Mauricio was an exceptional guide. We loved exploring the old church ruins and learning more about the history of Brazil. The island is beautiful and the waterfall is definitely worth the extra hike. Mauricio not only helped us during the hike, he also helped us figure out how to travel for the rest of our trip through Brazil with tons of helpful tips. I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the forest and the beach with a wonderful guide!

Deserted beaches & wonderful wildlife - Great hike. You need a reasonable level of fitness but this is well within the realm of anyone who walks regularly. Deserted beaches, fabulous bird life, loads of time to swim in the ocean - and guide Mauricio & driver Paulo were excellent.

Fun hiking & swimming tour - Mauricio was a great guide! This tour was a great mix of hiking and swimming in the ocean. We weren't expecting quite so much mud, so be prepared (especially if you're going during the rainy season). You'll want to wear a swimsuit and shoes and clothes that can get wet and muddy.

Wonderful Day at the Beach - I joined a group beginning of March 2020. the guide was Mauricio Cerrato Zopazo who spoke english very well. From the beginning at the pick up from the hotel throughout the full day everything was organised perfectly and with a very personal service and smooth athomsphere. I can highly recommend Mauricio. The beaches were very clean and beautiful. We saw a lot of nature, butterflies, had a nice break at a beach pub. I did not expect it to be so off the beaten tracks and so much nature in such a short distance to S.P. For me it was a very relaxing and beautiful day. Thanks Mauricio !

Amazing hiking day & beautiful beaches - This tour exceeded my expectation! Great hike to beautiful beaches! I would recommend to anyone who likes to be active on vacation; this is not a “beach day” but a hike day with stops at beaches. Definitely an amazing day! Thank you to our guide who was simply amazing!

The Perfect Day! - We had an amazing time with Mauricio and our fellow travelers. He will cater the hike to the group and offered us a harder, more adventurous option, which we were super happy about! However, if you want to chill on the beautiful beaches, you can also do that. Good combination of options!
