Paddling, islands and rivers
Olhar das Águas
Rio from the water: stand-up paddle in Urca, kayaking on Guanabara Bay, the Tijuca Islands, Ilha Grande and rafting inland.
6 experiences
From the water, Sugarloaf looks bigger and the city takes on a different scale. Guanabara Bay and the Tijuca Islands are minutes from the sand and visited by sea turtles, dolphins and seabirds.
Activities follow the sea and wind forecast. We head out early, when the water is usually calmer, and confirm the launch point the day before.
