Mangrove Eco-Boat Tour: An Authentic Wildlife Experience
This activity offers an authentic and immersive experience in Brazilian nature, navigating by boat through the mangroves of Santos—one of the country's richest and most important ecosystems. Accompanied by a bilingual tour guide and a local expert, visitors have the opportunity to explore the fauna and flora in an educational, safe, and enchanting way.
During the tour, there's a high chance of observing spectacular birds like the Scarlet Ibis (Guará-vermelho), white and blue herons, toucans, among other representatives of Brazil's rich avifauna (birdwatching). Given favorable conditions, it's also possible to spot capybaras, fish, crabs, and other native animals in their natural habitat.
The diversity of the local flora is also impressive: bromeliads, hibiscus, fungi, and the typical mangrove vegetation form a unique scenery.
Nature is alive and spontaneous—therefore, every tour is a surprise. The presence of animals depends on the weather, the tide, and, of course, a bit of luck.
Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Whether you're solo or with a group, I can't recommend this experience enough!! Easy pickup and drive straight from my hotel in Sao Paulo, we spent over two hours out on the water. Adi (my guide) was incredibly knowledgable, and for those who this matters to, his english was perfect. Seeing the birds was obviously the highlight (some colorful, others huge, none of which I've ever seen before), but even had we not seen any it would've still been a lovely trip out on the water. I also got to catch a few glimpses of Caiman, as well as seeing some birds eating fish right out of the water!! If you're interested in nature and birds and you hate hikes, this is the trip for you.

Santos is a historic city near São Paulo. It is famous for its harbour, nice beachfront, and historical landmarks such as the Coffee Exchange or the Pelé museum. Despite the busy harbour (the largest in Latin America), Santos is an island among rivers, an estuary and the ocean, maintaining a rich mangrove full of birds. Now, imagine arriving at a small port, taking a boat just for you, the captain and the Sampa guide, and navigating for three hours in the calm waters of the river, discovering the flora and fauna of the region in a quiet sunrise, with fishermen here and there catching crags and fish. And, suddenly, dozens of wonderful bright scarlet birds, the famous Guará vermelho, catch crabs and schrimps, fly from the water to the trees where they have the nest, and train the chicks. Unforgettable! A must-do if you have one free day in São Paulo, and Sampa Trip is the option!

We had a great time on this half-day tour. Our guide, Kali, was warm and welcoming and full of good information. The scenery was beautiful and the boat driver went out of his way to make sure we got to see as many birds as possible. It was a great escape from the city, but we were still back in plenty of time to do things later in the day, which is just what we wanted. Highly recommended! One note: be sure to bring a jacket - the boat will travel at high speed to get to and from the mangrove forest where the birds are, so you'll want an extra layer even on a hot day.

Unbelievable! I was quite hesitant to take a tour alone for the first time and my guide, Kalanit (Kalie) was tremendous!!! I left Brazil feeling like I made a life long friend! The tour of the Mangrove was absolutely unique and beautiful! To see the Scarlet Ibis and so much more in their natural habitat was a true wonder. For bird lovers and those who appreciate nature, do not miss this tour if you visit Sao Paulo!

Our guide Adi, before the start of the trip, welcomed us to a popular coffee bakery in the city for breakfast. This is the first highlight of the trip for us. It is a fun experience to stay close to and observe the daily life of the local people. Our captain has lived in the area for 30 years, speaking fluent English. The people in the store also love to protect our very friendly and comfortable environment. After the meal, he drove to Santos. There are many large and small yachts parked on the boat, the toilet is also quite clean.
