The hike is a mix of jungle and beach. The jungle parts were, at times, challenging due to loose ground or loose tree hand holds for climbing. Our hike was 9.92miles and took about 7 hours. We loved it! Our guide, Mauricio, was exellent! Mauricio provided a great education and history as well as techical advice for climbing. We packed lunches and there was an opportunity to stop for breakfast and stop on the way back. In additon to the guide, there was a seperate driver for our trip.

Mauricio was an amazing guide! Very helpful, knowledgeable and funny with great energy! Me and partner felt safe the entire time. He made the experience 10 times better!!! Would definitely book again. The hike was challenging but so worth it for the amazing beaches!
booked a month in advance. Received quick confirmation. After that no more communication. Contact us a few days in advance. I wouldn't get a definitive answer until the evening before. Called several times that evening. Ultimately was told that the tour would not go ahead. Do not book here. Last minute policy and you end up with nothing without cancellation information.
I booked this trip a month in advance and 1 week prior to our booking they canceled! I engaged their chat to find out what was going on and was told that it was canceled locally and had no other reason why. They didn't have anything available to book on the days we were available. Very frustrating. I will never book anything with them again. I simply dont trust then to follow through with bookings.
This hike was excellent! The views are so much more beautiful than the photos online show, we got to see banana trees, beaches, and many butterflies. It's quite physical, with some minor scrambling and moments of going off track, but achievable if you're fairly active or used to hiking. The view at the final beach is completely worth it and the hike will be adjusted to your fitness/level of challenge. I recommend you bring snacks, something sugary and plenty of water so it's comfortable.
Really awesome trip! Bilingual guide made our trip fun and comfortable! I recommend and would do this trip again!
Amazing tour, would recommend! Even on a cold and rainy day we had a great time. The rain helped keep others off the island and we essentially had a private tour of the entire island.
Mauricio was an exceptional guide. We loved exploring the old church ruins and learning more about the history of Brazil. The island is beautiful and the waterfall is definitely worth the extra hike. Mauricio not only helped us during the hike, he also helped us figure out how to travel for the rest of our trip through Brazil with tons of helpful tips. I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the forest and the beach with a wonderful guide!
Beautiful area both hiking and beaches. Our guide was great, very friendly and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this tour for active travelers!
Great hike. You need a reasonable level of fitness but this is well within the realm of anyone who walks regularly. Deserted beaches, fabulous bird life, loads of time to swim in the ocean - and guide Mauricio & driver Paulo were excellent.
Mauricio was a great guide! This tour was a great mix of hiking and swimming in the ocean. We weren't expecting quite so much mud, so be prepared (especially if you're going during the rainy season). You'll want to wear a swimsuit and shoes and clothes that can get wet and muddy.
I joined a group beginning of March 2020. the guide was Mauricio Cerrato Zopazo who spoke english very well. From the beginning at the pick up from the hotel throughout the full day everything was organised perfectly and with a very personal service and smooth athomsphere. I can highly recommend Mauricio. The beaches were very clean and beautiful. We saw a lot of nature, butterflies, had a nice break at a beach pub. I did not expect it to be so off the beaten tracks and so much nature in such a short distance to S.P. For me it was a very relaxing and beautiful day. Thanks Mauricio ! Andreas from Munich in Germany
This tour exceeded my expectation! Great hike to beautiful beaches! I would recommend to anyone who likes to be active on vacation; this is not a “beach day” but a hike day with stops at beaches. Definitely an amazing day! Thank you to our guide who was simply amazing!
We had an amazing time with Mauricio and our fellow travelers. He will cater the hike to the group and offered us a harder, more adventurous option, which we were super happy about! However, if you want to chill on the beautiful beaches, you can also do that. Good combination of options!
Mauricio was an awesome tour guide and the beaches and waterfalls were spectacular. He made our day an adventure we will always remember!!
While visiting Sao Paulo for business, I have got the opportunity to go on this trek and enjoy the pure nature outside Sao Paulo - highly recommended. Great adventure, landscape, wild beaches and beautiful salvage flowers. Great guide, tour and organization! Bring good shoes ;-)
<p>The tour was great and the guide was amazing.<br/> The hiking level in this tour is advanced/hard to say the least so keep that in mind when booking the tour.</p>
<p>Outstanding experience, thank you so much Mauricio! You are such a wonderful and funny guide. My son and I loved the trip. The company was great: Andrea, Kayla and Mario. Beautiful day and good friends for the day ! <br/> Thank you very very much for delivering the walking shoes I left in you car to the hotel next day. I will never forget you kindness. I will be recomending your company to all my friends. </p> <p>Best wishes,<br/> Irina</p>
