The 15 Best Paraty Tours & Boat Trips

31 tours  ·  from $11 a head

Cobbles the tide floods on purpose, a bay full of islands, and cachaça stills up in the hills behind. These 15 sort the schooner days, the jeep runs to the waterfalls and the walking tours of the old town, each priced and paced.

Paraty: Jungle Waterfalls and Cachaça Distillery Jeep Tour

1.Jungle Waterfalls and Cachaça Distillery Jeep Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 491 reviews · 6 hours · from $37Our pick

Review of Paraty’s six-hour jeep tour to Pedra Branca, Tobogã, Poço do Tarzan, and a traditional cachaça distillery.

“The tour allows you to visit 3 different places, the first stops allows you to see two waterfalls (One for pictures and the second you’re able to stand under if you wish). There is also opportunity to swim at the first stop. The second stop is the distillery, really interesting as you’re provided with a talk about the history and how Cachaça is made and then you get to taste many flavours!! Then you head for lunch at Restaurant Poco do Tarzan, we ordered chicken, rice, fries and beans for two it was delicious and the portion was huge! Then you get the opportunity to slide down the waterfall. Brilliant…”

2.Paraty Bay: Islands & Beaches Boat Tour with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 274 reviews · 5 hours · from $22

Review of Paraty Bay’s five-hour boat tour, with beaches, islands, swimming, snorkeling, onboard meals, safety boats, and strong value at $22.

“Lovely day out with 4 stops of 20-40 minutes each. Food and drinks available to purchase (main courses cost 60 BRL and were big enough to share between two if you don’t have a huge appetite). The crew spoke limited English, but a couple of crew members went out of their way to translate into English for us which was much appreciated! N.B. Our ticket included a free caipirinha but the crew weren’t aware so make sure to ask for it.”

7.Day Tour to Trindade: Nature and Sea Adventure from Paraty

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 69 reviews · 6 hours · from $37

Review of Paraty’s Trindade day tour, with secluded beaches, Atlantic Forest walks, Caixa D’aço pool, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“Belles plages visitées surtout la plage de Cepilho magnifique avec ses rochers. Les piscines naturelles sont vite surbookées car les rochers pour se poser ne sont pas nombreux. Le sable et l’eau sont un peu affectés par les traces d’hydrocarbures laissées par le canot à moteur qui fait les aller-retour avec la plage et qui rentre dans la principale piscine naturelle. Pas d’intérêt pour le snorkeling. Bon repas du midi même si le cadre d’arrivée pour le restaurant n’inspire pas forcément confiance de prime abord.”
