You step off the cobblestones of Paraty’s pier and the escuna rocks under a steady, ocean-scented breeze — the bay pulling you away from town and into sunlit coves.
The five-hour circumnavigation visits four distinct stops: the red-sand inlet known locally as Red Beach, Coconut Island’s palms, the glassy Blue Lagoon, and the long, low island fringed with reef. The schooner-style boat carries more than 120 people, with a bar and kitchen onboard, two toilets, music, and complimentary flotation noodles and snorkel gear for short reef excursions.
Paraty’s coastline reflects its layered past: a colonial port for gold routes, marble cliffs of Precambrian rock worn by sea and time, and fishing communities that still depend on the tides. The islands are volcanic and metamorphic outcrops; currents and coral pockets create pockets of calm water where fish gather and the sea dares you to dive.
Practically, this is an easy, social cruise suited to most fitness levels — the boat does the work. Expect short beach landings from a tender, shallow reef snorkeling, and periods of sun on deck. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a water bottle, and water shoes for pebbly shores. Morning departures mean calmer seas and clearer snorkeling; afternoons warm up and attract more boats.
If seasickness is a risk, choose a midline seat and time your medication. Respect local regulations: avoid stepping on coral and take any trash back to the boat. The tour is a convenient way to access beaches that are reachable only by sea, combining local flavors with straightforward coastal adventure.
