Live an unforgettable adventure as you navigate the “Iguazú River by kayak or paddleboard”, immersing yourself in its natural surroundings and relaxing to the rhythm of the current.
During the journey, you’ll have the chance to enjoy stunning landscapes, get closer to waterfalls, and connect deeply with nature. This experience not only includes kayaking or paddleboarding (or canoeing), but also a short trek through the jungle.
To top it all off, you can take a refreshing dip in waterfalls and savor a picnic-style lunch. If you prefer, you can also opt for a return transfer to your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu.
The views and natural beauty, including waterfalls, the Atlantic Forest, rivers, lakes, and encounters with local wildlife like monkeys, are truly remarkable.
The experience is more personal and less crowded than the waterfalls, offering a peaceful and alternative getaway after visiting the falls.
The staff is outstanding, attentive, and helpful, with guides like Joel, Jefferson, Jeff, and Fran standing out for their attentiveness, cultural knowledge, photography skills, and support.
The canoeing experience is safe and unique, staying away from strong currents.
The excursion is ideal for those with extra time in the area, offering an excellent cost-benefit ratio.
Safety during the tour is top-notch, with light physical effort that’s perfect for nature and fitness enthusiasts.
The experience of swimming in the waterfalls was a highlight, and the place is described as paradisiacal.

At your chosen time (9:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m.), **you’ll either be picked up from your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu or meet at the designated meeting point on Alameda de Caeté street.**
From there, you’ll begin a 1.4-kilometer hike along the Trilha Ecológica do Índio trail, which will lead you to the Canoeing Base on the banks of the Iguazú River.
During the hike, the guide will share fascinating information about the Atlantic Forest, its biome, anthropology, and culture. **You’ll likely get the chance to spot animals like parrots, armadillos, and even some monkeys.**
At the end of the walk, you’ll reach the banks of the Iguazú River, where a one-hour kayaking or paddleboarding adventure, depending on your choice, awaits you.
**Once everything is set and the safety guidelines are explained, you’ll begin your journey toward the Tamanduá River from the Aguaray base.**
In this initial stage, the activity will be smooth and relaxing, as you’ll be paddling with the current.
You’ll have the chance to explore within a 2-kilometer radius, marveling at the surrounding vegetation and the soothing sounds of nature.
**At the end of this segment, you’ll disembark at another beach and take a short walk to the Cachoeira da Toca, where you can enjoy the stunning scenery and take a refreshing dip in the waterfalls.**
On your way back, whether in kayaks or paddleboards, you’ll get to admire the breathtaking Juruvá Waterfall. During this stretch, you might need to paddle against the current, so it’s best to save some energy for this final effort.
The activity also includes a delicious picnic-style lunch at the end of your kayaking or paddleboarding journey.
**Once you return to the starting point, if you opted for the tour with transfers, you’ll be taken back to your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu.**
Unfortunately, the excursion is not adapted for wheelchair users. On the other hand, the provider also requires participants to have a “moderate” level of physical fitness.
We suggest checking with the operator for confirmation.
