Description

I will guide you on this 1-day of kayaking by Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro (Guanabara Bay), as we paddle along the delightful coastline stretching out from the city to the mountain, taking in the peaceful and mesmerizing array of islands, beaches and rainforests, including a swimming break at the famous and stunning Fora Beach.

Sugarloaf Mountain is located at the mouth of Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, and is one of the most instantly recognizable landmarks of the country. It attracts millions of visitors each year, and has been designated as a UNSECO World Heritage Site since 2012.

Our trip begins on the first morning with a hotel pickup, and we then head to the shoreline, where relevant safety information and gear will be dispensed.

Once you hop in to your kayaks at the splendid Urca Beach, we then paddle towards the mountain, and along the way I will be sure to inform you of the myriad of interesting and fun facts about the area.

We will be exposed to some truly epic and magnificent views of Sugarloaf Mountain from our kayaks, and after a while we will alight at the wonderful and tranquil Fora Beach at the foot of the mountain, a true oasis not far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

After a swim and some relaxation, we get back in our kayaks and head back to Urca Beach, happy and refreshed at having experienced this unique way to see Sugarloaf Mountain and the gorgeous Rio coastline.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
