Excellent Kayaking Tour - We really enjoyed our kayaking experience with Michael. We kayaked in the bay stopping off at a lovely beach, an island where we had a light bite, and on our way back, via a mangrove. Michael was a great guide who gave technique tips for paddling and was knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife. 100% recommend.

Excellent experience - Great fun and Paulo our guide was excellent. The kayaking was exerting but not overly challenging. We always felt safe and in good hands and Paulo gave us useful info during the experience. I’d highly recommend these guys if you are staying in Paraty - it’s a great way to see some of the mangroves and beaches.

Unique experience in the middle of nature - The tour is exceptional! The guide was super attentive and helpful. The tour provided a challenge for our trip to Paraty and, as a bonus, we received wonderful landscapes to contemplate in the middle of the sea! I loved! I highly recommend it and, when I return, I will do it again! :)

Best kayaking adventure we’ve had! - Had the best time with Patary Explorer. They were so accommodating, we were in a cruise ship and were worried about tender times etc for their fixed tour. They told us not to worry and put on a special tour for this of us in the ship, starting a little later and said they would meet us at the tender pier and adjust accordingly depending on our ships arrival. Booking in advance and payment was seamless and communication from Michael & Rodrigo was excellent during booking and then the day before arrival to confirm arrangements. The kayaking was brilliant, impressive kayaks that were comfy and fast! Had a great tour of the local area with constant information on flora & fauna and history. Had a little adventure into the mangrove which was fun. Thank you for a great day!

Amazing tour, but Listing Incorrect - Loved the tour! Unfortunately the Viator listing says that the tour includes snorkeling and snacks at the beach you kayak to and that was 100% not part of the package on the tour companies end. I would recommend booking with Paraty Explorer directly for clarity.

Faulty Kayak, Otherwise Good Experience - It was our first time kayaking. It would have been a great trip because both the tour and the tour guide were otherwise excellent, but our kayak had a small hole near the right steering pedal that no one knew about. The result was that my area in the kayak gradually took on a lot of water that needed to be pumped out several times during the tour. Not knowing of the hole, the tour guide initially blamed my rowing technique for causing water to come into the kayak, which was VERY stressful as I tried to overcompensate even as I didn't know what I had done wrong. Eventually, as the kayak continued to take on water, the tour guide watched my technique and concluded that it wasn't me. So, when an opportunity came up, he examined the kayak, found the hole and improvised a plug (pieces from a styrofoam cup, I think) to plug the hole, significantly slowing the intake of water. As if that wasn't bad enough, the left steering pedal broke off during a max left turn while returning back to the beach. I didn't even get any pics. I tipped the tour guide because I didn't really blame him for what happened and he was great, including towing us for quite a bit of the way. Although incidences are probably rare, it seems that a good practice for tour operators would be to inspect each kayak before each use (at least for holes).
