Itinerary and highlights

Prepare to start the day in the most magical way possible!

Right in the early hours of the morning, even before the sun rises completely, we will find ourselves on Copacabana Beach, one of Rio de Janeiro’s most iconic landscapes. After a quick presentation and safety guidelines, you will receive all necessary equipment for the practice of the Stand Up Paddle, including vest and board.

If you’ve never practiced, don’t worry! Let's start with a basic instruction in the sand, and then we go together to the calm, protected water of the shore. The idea is to sail with peace, enjoying each moment of the transformation of the sky, the sea and gradually reveal the contour of the mountains, the Bread of Sugar and the Christ Redemptor in the background.

During the tour, you will have time to float, relax, take photos and simply enjoy the privilege of being in the sea of Copacabana at such a special time. We will also record photos and videos so you can save.

It’s an experience of connecting with nature, with the city and with yourself—perfect for those looking for something different, light and striking in Rio de Janeiro.

At the end, we return to the beach with renewed energy and ready for a new day.
