Boat Tour Experience With Snorkel Mask Included - By Netuno Tours

Wonderful trip seeing the coastline near Paraty. Good opportunities to swim and snorkel. Crew were great, all very attentive and would definitely recommend.

Great day out on the water. The boat was comfortable, the crew were mega friendly, helpful and many of them spoke some English, and the locations we stopped at were really beautiful and great for swimming. The food was amazing and, although I don't drink booze, the cocktails looked extraordinary. We'd definitely recommend Netuno tours if you're in Paraty.

good food , lovely day out 🎉 lots of swimming opportunities and. good service

The boats are big and clean. The staff on board are friendly and welcoming. we were treated like guests who visit your home. The tour was just the right duration and visited lovely coves in Paraty bay. The staff also explained the islands history. The food was good and reasonably priced. Overall i highly recommend this tour.

Paraty Bay is truly beautiful, but the excursion was quite disappointing. The boat was huge, creating a tourist convoy, with many identical boats visiting the same beaches at the same time. This really takes away from the beauty and tranquillity of these paradisiacal places. Be careful with the snorkeling equipment: check everything before diving, as a missing snorkel will cost you R$50. Also, check your bill carefully, as a tourist tax was added. We were told this charge is not mandatory and can be refused. Beautiful destination, but we recommend a smaller or private boat for a better experience.

Fun, not a lot of fish to see. Food and drinks were very good. Crew was excellent. Beaches were beautiful.

Comfortable vessel, friendly staff, beautiful views, delicious food

It was great. Julia is amazing!

We had an absolutely amazing boat tour around the islands of Paraty! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and the crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. They made us feel welcome and ensured we had a fantastic time throughout the trip. The food was absolutely delicious—freshly prepared right on the boat with high-quality ingredients. The drinks were also excellent, especially the cocktails, which were refreshing and perfectly made. The scenery was breathtaking, with crystal-clear water and beautiful islands everywhere we looked. It was one of the best experiences of our trip. If you’re visiting Paraty, this boat tour is a must-do. We couldn’t have asked for a better day—truly a “live, don’t just exist” kind of experience. Highly recommended!

It was a nice experience. The crew is attentive, the food was good, nothing to complain about.

My husband and I booked a tour on the Discovery the night before going and loved it! It was very well organized, the boat was comfortable, the crew were helpful (spoke English as well as Portuguese) and the food and drinks were much better than we were expecting. We ate better on the boat for lunch than we did in town! The activities offered were great - snorkels & masks, kayak, stand up paddle boards, floating noodles. Unfortunately the water was a little murky the day we went but it was still pleasant to swim. On the other hand, we saw a big pod of dolphins! We would highly recommend this tour and plan to come back to Paraty and do it again.

The trip was really amazing. We did 4 stops and the time was well managed. The staff of the boat was also super nice with us providing all the necessary information

Isabella, Sunday, and Bruno was super accommodating and kind during the boat tour. We had a great time visiting each spot. We were able to snorkel, swim and sunbathe.

It was a great time out. Isabella, Sunday and Bruno looked after us all day and the food and cocktails were great.

The best tour with capitain Jailson, Isabela, Agustina, sailor Ronaldo, the best chefs Janaina and Thalison. The staff is awesome!!! The best service ever!!! Highly recommended!!!

What a surprise! Of course I expected a great day. But it was exceptional! Here with family from 7 to 84! Everyone was in the water. Everyone having fun. And such a gracious crew as our hosts. Don’t miss this experience!

Amazing experience with exclusive spot really good food and nice cocktails ;) thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a lovely day trip on a Netuno Escunas boat. We did the secret island tour on a luxurious boat for the day which was really relaxing with enough time in the water for us. The service on the boat was impeccable and the food was nice and fresh! Would highly recommend a tour with this company.

I absolutely loved this tour! As a solo female, English-speaking traveler, I felt completely comfortable and taken care of the entire time. The tour is primarily in Portuguese, but the staff went above and beyond to help whenever I needed it, and a few parts were even translated into English to make things easier. The food on board was delicious (lots of option and you order beforehand for lunch later on), and there was plenty of time to enjoy all the stops (2 beach stops and 3 lookout stops with option to swim). The beach was stunning, and I loved that the boat gave the option to swim (they provide floaties and life jackets!) Or take a short boat ride straight to the sand. It made the experience fun and flexible for everyone. I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Shayanne and Caramelo, the photographers on board. They were incredible! Even though my Portuguese is limited, they made me feel so included. Shayanne spoke amazing English, and Caramelo constantly checked in on me and offered to help. They captured the most beautiful photos - both posed and candid - and were so thoughtful in making sure I looked good in every shot. They never pressured me to buy anything, but honestly the photos were SO worth it. I just received the pictures (it took about 2 days because they actually edit everything!), and they look like professional travel photos — not your average “tour pics.” Thanks to them, I was able to fully enjoy the experience without stressing about taking my own photos. If you go on this tour, I highly recommend getting photos with them. And even if you don't, check out their Instagram and support their work — they're truly amazing at what they do. 10/10 experience. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! @aflor.jpg @escunanetuno @caramel photographer

I wasn't planning on booking a schooner tour, but my hiking tour didn't have enough attendees so I transferred my booking to the "secret island" schooner tour. The boat, Neptuno Day Vinci, was excellent - two level (three if you include below decks) with lounges and tables to relax at. We were taken to 4 locations, two of them beaches for swimming. I won't list the names here, as the nature of the tour I booked was that the crew choose the ideal locations based on the weather of the day. My lunch (additional cost) was divine - shrimp linguine topped with grated cheese. Drinks were available on board as well, with the bill settled at end of tour. My number of passengers was small - only 11 guests, including myself. What made the tour special was the customer service of the staff. Everyone made me feel welcome and looked after, despite the fact my Portuguese is almost non existent. Some crew members spoke some English. I chose to use a stand up paddle board at each of our stops. At one of the islands, wildlife was clearly visible from the water! I saw lizards, birds and carpinchos (apparently smaller cousins to capybaras). I recommend bringing a sweater or jacket to wear between stops - it can get windy on deck. All in all - highly recommend!

A lovely, relaxing day out. We had cloudy weather so most people swam less than they would do on a bright sunny day but it was still very nice! The pace was chilled, the stops of a good duration (30-40 mins each at 3 different spots/bays). Drinks from the bar were sensibly priced. The lunch (included) was very tasty & having fresh sliced fruit at the end was lovely to round off the day. The boat was lovely - big enough for privacy & each couple/group to have their own table. The background music was very cheerful & not intrusive & locals were enjoying a singalong! Unlike other boats there was not a noisy party atmosphere or waterslides, which we wanted to avoid! It was a very enjoyable time with lovely views. I am a keen swimmer but chose not to snorkel as visibility looked not good that day. I am told I didn't miss anything. Bird watching was great from the deck instead. Take your binoculars.

Excellent boat tour, well organised. It's worth having an overview look of Paraty from the ocean and seeing the amazing beaches and islands around it. Great idea having the photographer onboard!

This tour we randomly selected but we was very happy. The tour was well organised and the facilitators are very friendly and professional. Shout out to Ricardo, Julia and the master chef Marta (apologies if i got the names wrong). These guys was genuinely friendly and made the tour a special day for us. Obrigado. Definitely and highly recommended!!! P.s. photo of tue very friendly Ricardo added below.

Booked as part of a group tour with G Adventures. Our group of 12 was not accommodated for. Boat was overcrowded, we had no where comfortable to sit, all the tables and chairs and lounges were all taken before we arrived. Staff were not helpful to passengers to find them fair and safe places on the boat. The booking was to include photos you buy after but photographers were ‘selective’ of who they would photograph. Small boats to island visits were overcrowded and unsafe. Roll call system to check everyone is on the boat was chaotic. Food was over priced Very disappointing

All excursion was amazing. We visited 2 island and 2 beaches, in total 4 places, but during trip we seen even more from ship. I really enjoyed snorkeling. There is a lot of colorful fishes and sea life. Also the color of see is so impressive. All personal was very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for everything! For sure this excursion is obligatory!

On a boat with less than 30 people was great. The possibility to use the paddle and kayak is a plus! The food and drinks are really good as well. It’s been well organised. We had a great moment 👌

This was a nice boat tour of a few beach es around the bay. Lunch was delicious and the service on board was top notch! Wish the complimentary coffee was more than a sip.

An incredible day on the boat :Da Vinci" with my 19 year old niece. The boat was spacious, immaculate and equipped with comfortable lounge furniture on 2 levels, plus a dining area with tables and chairs. We stopped at 4 different lovely coves and swam off the boat. We were able tonborrow any water toys we liked, including paddle cards, pool noodles, loungers and snorkels. A delicious lunch menu and nice selection of drinks were offered for extra charge. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Based in the other boats I saw, the Da Vinci is one of the nicest in port at Paraty!

Beautiful, dreamy day on a beautiful boat. Stunning views across to the islands and beautiful stops along the way. The crew were friendly and helpful. We even saw Golden Lion Tamarind monkeys emerging from the forest onto the shoreline! We were on the Netuno Da Vinci boat which looked considerably more comfortable than others we noticed out and about.

En Netuno Discovery disfrutamos de un paseo hermoso, recorriendo varias playas. Julia fue nuestra excelente anfitriona, y todo el equipo es muy atento. Comimos riquísimo a bordo y viajamos cómodas. Shayanne se divertía con nosotros sacando las fotos. Gracias por esta bella experiencia! At Netuno Discovery, we enjoyed a beautiful tour, visiting several beaches. Julia was an excellent host, and the entire team was very attentive. We had a delicious meal on board and traveled comfortably. Shayanne had fun with us, taking pictures. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

I had an absolutely excellent day on board the Da Vinci! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. A huge shoutout to Julia for being so helpful and incredibly knowledgeable—she truly made the experience even better. The lunch was fantastic, and the food and service on board were exceptional. If you’re visiting Paraty, this is something I highly recommend. A fantastic way to spend the day!

Really enjoyed this boat tour from Paraty to various beaches & islands. The fish they served for lunch was super tasty & you could buy beers & cocktails from the bar. Plenty of space on board & they also had a photographer called Gustavo who took lovely photos of me & my friends for a good price. We could jump off the boat, swim to the beaches & snorkel. Overall a 5 star experience & good value for money!

Julia and the whole crew on Netuno Da Vinci were super amazing. We were attended to very well and the service we received was excellent.Much to our delight the food and drinks were very affordable and still delicious which is usually a rare combination. Would definitely do it again!

The views were awesome. They stop at 3 places where you can swim, and near 1 island for lunch. The package included lunch at 3rd stop, tropical fruits at the end of the trip, snorkeling mask, and floats. The soothing music onboard is amazing. The boat was super clean and the crew was the best at customer service. They had a toilet on boat as well. The only thing bad about the trip was the water quality at the 2nd island, where my eyes burnt a little because of the emissions from many motorboats. Overall it was a great trip for this price and would definitely go with them again.

The experience with the staff is absolutely amazing and nothing short of excellence. Don’t know who owns this tour business the boss is lucky to have a super team to do the service. Me and my family and everyone on board today on Feb 22nd 2025 pm on the boat Da Vinci. The staff had shown me what service what service excellence can be. It make me think about how to build a business culture like this in my business of 350 workers in Asia and North America even we are not in the service touring industry. They are constantly smiling and talking care of all of your needs. The operation and service runs clock work. I hope the boss is paying them well when they are working on the weekend. I want to steal them from the company to work for us lol. Anyway thank you Beto/ Julia/Thalison/Jailson/ Leidiana and the whole crew. Best service on tour in 88 different counties I have been to.

Great trip with Cau! Saw lots of fish and a few starfish snorkeling. Islands were all beautiful, not too crowded. Bring sunscreen.

GOOD - Boat was really nice - Staff was friendly and welcoming - We had a chill time - Cheap for the base price BAD - Title is wrong, tubas was not included - Beach stops are really short (20mn each) and wildlife was non existant - We felt like we were only here to consume their expensive drinks and food (we could not bring ours) - Food wasn't great, we couldn't finish our plates

Unbelievable experience. Just the fix I needed. Lunch was delicious. Smooth boat ride and spacious. 100% recommend!!

This exclusive tour was fantastic. The staff on this beautyfull ship called "DA VINCI" where so helpfull and friendly. Food and drinks were amazing. Absolutely worth the money! Only for them liking a more luxery trip.

Third time with this team and it is always a very good experience, great places and marine life, I always recommend it...

I highly recommend "ParatyTours" as the best travel agency.. Be amazed by the exclusive tour to the paradisiacal beaches aboard the high-end schooner "Netuno DaVinci". I would like to thank Laura, Alexandre, Chef Janaína, Lionai and the entire ParatyTours team for their warm hospitality and care.

Amazing trip and service by the crew. Food and drinks available were great. Kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling all complementary. Also thanks Cacao for the great photography. Highly recommend.

Really nice experience ! We had a really good time and the team is just lovely. We went to different locations where we did some paddling, kayaking, snorkeling. Would definitely recommend. :)

So Much fun! You can do snorkelling, paddling, kayaking. All the beaches were amazing, not many other people around. Recommend!

We had a lovely time paddling across the open water, with a stop on the way to check out the view from a pier, then on to the mangroves to cruise along looking for red, black & the large yellow crabs. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Remember to take mosquito repellent for the midges in the mangroves. We finished and shared a beer or two on the beach which caped off the day nicely.

Stupendo bonita yay. I would recommend this a lot. The food it excellent and the boat is classy. Great way to see the islands

Great excursion, well run by a great team. The boat was great and we had a brilliant day. Would highly recommed to any visitors to Paraty looking for a boat trip.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The staff was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was nothing short of amazing—a true culinary delight every day. We’re leaving with full hearts, wonderful memories, and smiles that will last a lifetime.

Such a wonderful experience! Beautiful views all around! The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, and everything was well organised.
