Surf TRIP Brazil to THE GREEN COAST OF RIO DE JANEIRO
Nice waves, no crowd!
For those who always want to experience the uniqueness of Brazil, we can offer a magical journey filled with excitement, adventure and a lot of surfing time!
In Rio de Janeiro, our guide will meet you at airport where we start our road trip.After 2 days in Rio to chill and feel the marvellous big city atmosphere, we will head to Paraty to spend most of our time on the gorgeous Green Coast with pristine beaches. Ilha Grande is the right place for ecotourism and the island is noted for its scenic beauty, unspoilt tropical beaches, luxuriant vegetation and rugged landscape.
On the boat trip we do stops for surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkelling with fish, turtles and the immense marine life dwelling in the emerald waters. If we’re lucky, we might even see some whales or dolphins!This is the best Boat & Roadtrip to discover a world of contrast, charming colonial heritage sites, fishing villages and to explore tropical islands by boat.
VISAS AND ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

CURRENCY
The Brazilian currency is the Real ( R$ ). For the latest currency exchange information use a Currency Exchange Calculator.
BEST WAY TO USE/GET LOCAL CURRENCY
Generally, the best way to get local currency is to use local ATMs when you arrive. The local banks will charge you a small fee to do this, and the exchange rate is very low. We’d recommend coming with Euro, US dollar or British Pound, as these are easy to exchange at the airport. Visa and Mastercard are accepted at all places.

If you want a break from surfing, you can take afternoons to go snorkelling or SUP paddling at sunset.
