THIS TRIP IS FOR YOU IF YOU:

01
Want to see Brazil from the inside, not as a tourist — beaches tourists reach on a 2.5-hour jungle hike, you reach by catamaran.
02
Have dreamed of getting to Carnival — but not just to stand in the crowd.
03
Value live communication in a small group and want to experience the journey itself, not just relax.

04
I am Sergey Tarasov — entrepreneur, business coach and skipper. I used to work in an office. Then I went to sea for the first time, and something changed — I got my skipper’s license and started leading expeditions around the world.
05
Today I create short journeys for people who want more than a change of scenery — who want to truly feel new and renewed.
06
Seven days of ocean silence and jungle, ending in the loudest celebration on the planet — Carnival in Rio.

An exclusive route among wild islands inaccessible by bus — beaches reached only by boat.

Snorkeling in the Botinas Islands — the best spot in the region.

Lopes Mendes — Brazil’s most beautiful beach, 3 km of white sand.

Aventureiro — a protected beach, accessible only by boat.

Paraty (UNESCO) — a colonial town, samba bars, overnight at the marina.
