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.

We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again in your next travel to São Paulo. Thank you! VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM
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.
The tour was cancelled because the bad weather conditions. And we know that the travelers wants to do the ride, but we should prioritize the safety of group. This information is in our terms and conditions. Any other questions: +55(11)995671910 Suppot Team VIDA & ENERGIA
It was a good trip. Everything planned was done. It met expectations. The guide very attentive with all passengers of different nationalities. Grateful for the experience.
Hello Traveler! Thank you for your feedback and even more so that you enjoyed the tour. We hope to see you next time!!! See you soon... VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM
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.
We are sorry for not being able to carry out the tour as per your reservation, but you were informed upon cancellation that there were problems at the destination which made it impossible to carry out the tour. We had a warning from local authorities about the possibility of landslides on the slopes due to the large amount of rain that week, which made the tour impossible for safety reasons. Adults generally understand, unlike spoiled children who want things their way. We want to provide the best experience for travelers, always. Regards VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM
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.
Hi Traveller! Thank you for choosing our tour and even more for your feedback. We are glad you liked the tour. We look forward to seeing you on our tours in another opportunity. Regards, VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM
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!
