Mangrove SUP & Rio West Side Wildlife Experience

7 hours

Easy

Explore the wildest side of Rio de Janeiro with a unique SUP experience through mangroves, secluded beaches, and direct contact with local wildlife.

If you're looking for a different experience, away from traditional tourism, this is the perfect adventure for you!


We offer a complete immersion in nature in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, combining exploration, adventure, and surprising landscapes. During the experience, you’ll paddle on a SUP through mangroves, relax on preserved beaches, and discover a lesser-known side of the city.


What will we do?
We will meet at the designated meeting point and head toward a more remote area of the city, passing by stunning beaches along the way.

Upon arrival, we’ll begin a Stand Up Paddle session through the mangroves, exploring natural channels and observing local wildlife. During the route, we’ll make stops for contemplation.

Along the way, you’ll also be able to choose a beach to relax, enjoy the view, and connect with nature.

After paddling, we’ll head to another location where we may spot local wildlife in their natural habitat, such as capybaras, birds, and even caimans. All activities respect nature and the local ecosystem, posing no risk to animals or participants. We always maintain a safe and responsible distance. We only observe the animals—there is no direct contact, prioritizing safety for everyone.

The experience typically lasts around 7 hours, including transportation, equipment preparation, paddling, and free time at the beach.
