(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, August 20, 2013 ) SALEM, OR—Tofino Expeditions, a veteran commercial company offering worldwide kayaking tours, is announcing a last minute travel deal on their award-winning Brazil sea kayaking trip. The trip, which was included last year in National Geographic Traveler’s 2012 “50 Tours Of A Lifetime Issue”, takes kayakers of all ability levels to Brazil’s stunning southern coast for a journey that includes world-class kayaking along with cultural exploration.
For a limited time, Tofino Expeditions will be offering a discount of $500 off per person for this trip which runs October 17th-26th, 2013. In recent years, Tofino Expeditions canvassed the waters of Brazil to find the perfect sea kayaking destination which they found 150 miles west of Rio de Janeiro on Brazil’s southern coast. On this journey, paddlers have the chance to explore this perfect sea kayaking spot---the Costa Verde---a verdant swath of Atlantic rainforest bordered by warm, aquamarine water that is protected from the open Atlantic by Ilha Grande--the Big Island. Steeped in history and abundant with wildlife, this area includes the UNESCO World Heritage site of Paraty and the Ecological Reserves of Juatinga and Cairucu.
The tour starts with an exploration of Rio de Janeiro, recently declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most exciting cities. Guests will visit some of Rio’s most iconic sites while experiencing a thrilling city that’s buzzing with preparations for hosting both the 2016 Olympic Games and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Participants also have an opportunity to visit the beautifully restored colonial town of Paraty, once the terminus of the Caminho do Ouro (Gold Road) and Saco de Mamangua, Brazil’s tropical fjord located along a stretch of tropical coastline dotted with tiny fishing villages and exquisite beaches.
Along with kayaks, Tofino Expeditions will also supply Stand Up Paddle Boards so that visitors can try one of the world’s newest water sports, Stand Up Paddling (SUP). SUP is a traditional Hawaiian variation on surfing that includes the use of a large canoe-like paddle to travel. In addition to SUP and kayaking, guests also enjoy accommodations at comfortable eco-lodges and guesthouses, delicious culinary experiences, authentic cultural interactions, and much more. Price after discount, $3890 per person. Minimum age 12 years. For more information or to book a trip, visit www.tofino.com .
