A Magical Kayak Experience in Rio Vermelho

5.00This was the highlight of our trip to Floripa! I thought it was going to be just another relaxing kayak on a pretty river, but it far exceeded all my expectations. We went just before the start of the high season, so it ended up being a private tour with just the guide and the two of us. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, myths, flora, and fauna of Floripa and the Rio Vermelho. Throughout the journey she shared fascinating stories and explanations that really enriched the experience. We had perfect weather and, at the beginning, the current was even in our favor. Along the river we saw so much wildlife, including capybaras resting along the riverbank, kingfishers, herons like the garça-azul and garça-moura, and mangrove crabs. On the way back we had to paddle a bit harder against the current, but it was still totally manageable. Toward the end we explored a small branch of the river that led to a quiet pond, where we spotted a family of monkeys and even a paca. Tiny freshwater shrimps came up to nibble gently on the dead skin of our hands and feet. The facilities at Adrenailha are great, and it was also interesting to learn about their climbing gym and the other adventures they offer. I would definitely join them again next time I'm in Floripa!
Stunning Nature + Great Guides = Perfect Kayak Tour

5.00Adorei! Loved it! J'ai adoré! I did the kayak trip this morning in Rio Vermelho/Lagoa with Diana and Sergio, it was fantastic! The nature there is stunning, it is quiet and wild still. Diana knows a lot about the island history, fauna and flora, and all the staff is extremely nice. They can adapt to the level of participants and are able to guide the tour in english. They offer to take pictures during the tour, which is quite handy. It's worth the time and money, I definitely recommend! Muito obrigada Adrenailha :)
Very well worth it
