Overall rating

4.5 / 5

based on 171 reviews

The actual dive, experience, staff and the friendliness were amazing. The Paraty office staff amazing and helpful! I think the company is excellent. However, two important points for improvement. A) not knowing that Uber is not available here left me panicking and rushing to the Paraty tour office to get help to get to the marina for my dive. Please ensure travellers are informed that there is no Uber in Paraty. The company should give local taxi numbers so they can to get to and from the marina without a worry. B) Also inform us of the name of the boat or company office location at the marina before we get there because I was again worried as I had no name of who I was meeting. A local marina staff lady was my only help and she spoke a little English which helped massively. And thankfully I had the office staff on WhatsApp to get the information from. If I did not have data I would be lost and angry. But not this time.

Through Whatsapp, I was informed that the 1:30 shuttle wasn’t available the day I chose. I was a little desperate because I needed to get from Paraty to São Paulo on this day. The person from Paraty tours worked with me to find a private car (instead of a van). I was expecting a very long, uncomfortable day. I was so pleasantly surprised by how painless and comfortable it was. Our driver was very professional and sweet. Bonus: the scenery on the first portion of the trip was spectacular.

Driver was at my Pousada promptly to collect me at 7.30am as arranged... smartly dressed. As there were only two passengers... the transport was in a comfortable car and the journey was very quick including a 20 min stop at a service station/restaurant en route. Great, comfortable, easy way to travel at reasonable cost. Thank you!

Transfert de Angra dos Reis vers Paraty, d'hôtel à hôtel, pour trois personnes. Tout s'est très bien passé. Chauffeur très pro dans un mini car. Très satisfaisant.

Well-organized comfortable transfer, everything on time.
