Before you book
- Driving time
- About eight hours of the day are on the road. If you can, spend a night in Paraty instead; we can drop you and collect you another day.

- The historic centre is closed to cars, and the large stones are hard to walk on. Flat, closed shoes help.
- Start time
- Starts at 07:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.
- Language
- Guided in English. Other languages on request, if we have notice.
- Cancellation
- Free up to 24 hours before, refunded in full.
