Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Full Day of Water Sports Activities
Today is all about enjoying the water with a mix of activities around the Porto da Ilha leisure complex. The day begins with a boat tour along the Rio Formoso, passing three scenic waterfalls along the route. The calm pace allows you to take in the surrounding landscape, which includes overhanging trees, tropical plants, and the sounds of birds and other wildlife. After the boat ride, you’ll switch to individual tubes for a relaxing float downstream. Tubing is a fun way to enjoy the river’s calm stretches, with the occasional rapid adding a burst of excitement. The banks are home to birds, monkeys, and sloths, which can often be seen moving through the trees or resting nearby. With little disruption from the boats or tubes, the animals continue their day as you quietly drift past. To round off the afternoon, you’ll try stand-up paddleboarding. The clear waters make it an ideal spot to learn, with a trained instructor available to help guide you. Whether you're trying it for the first time or already confident, paddling over the smooth surface of the river is a satisfying way to end the day before heading back to the hotel to relax.
