The expedition itinerary is 10 days and will take you all over the state of Sao Paulo. We’ll have a Van waiting for you at the International airport or Hotel which will be the beginning of our expedition. The schedule will run 6 different rivers and also 2 days of ocean kayaking and snorkeling. Exotic Brazilian kayak Tours goal is to teach you more about creek boating and also improve your BOOF skills. What is a BOOF? BOOF is the main movement that a creek boater has to know. Brazil will be the best place to do this because the characteristics of the rivers there require your BOOF stroke. Apart from these things, we’ll introduce you to a new culture including regional Brazilian music, loco food and local people. Our idea is to show you how kayaking can be more than a sport. How kayaking can add to your life. This will be your job to find out.
