Rio de Janeiro is Brazil’s most beautiful and famous city. It is warm year round and offers thousands of activities to enjoy the weather, from breathtaking beaches, fun tours, iconic and colorful attractions, impressive festivals, and a whole set of sports. You can kayak, bike, run, paraglide, swim, paddle-board or simply relax.

For this experience, we’ll depart from Rio de Janeiro towards Praia Vermelha (Red Beach). We’ll have a brief safety and technique explanation and then we’ll go into the water. The goal is to reach the Cotunduba island, which is part of an environmental protection area. You’ll get to learn all about its flora and fauna.

Along the way, we’ll get outstanding views of Rio, such as Copacabana, the Ipanema beaches, the Sugar Loaf, Tijuca Forest, Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer. We might even spot sea turtles and dolphins on the way. After a brief and relaxing stay on the island, we’ll paddle back to the starting point.

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.
