Itinerary

Our meeting point is at our shop, conveniently located at the entrance to São Rafael Beach, next to the main car park. Once you arrive at the beach, you'll have a secure place to leave your belongings before the tour begins. Before heading onto the water, your guide will give a short safety briefing and explain the basics of stand-up paddleboarding. If it's your first time on a paddleboard, don't worry—our experienced guides will teach you everything you need to know, making it easy and fun for beginners. Throughout the tour, you'll paddle along the stunning coastline of São Rafael, exploring impressive cliffs, hidden beaches, and beautiful sea caves. Your guide will stay with the group at all times, sharing local stories and ensuring everyone feels safe and comfortable. During the experience, we usually stop at a secluded beach that's only accessible by water. Here, you'll have time to relax, explore the surroundings, and enjoy snorkeling in the crystal-clear bay (weather and sea conditions permitting). At the end of the adventure, we'll paddle back to São Rafael Beach, where the tour finishes at the same location where it started. Perfect for beginners, families, couples
