Rain forest hiking offers you a multitude of benefits. You will be burning a lot of calories, while strengthening your cardiovascular system and working your quadriceps, calves, and hamstrings. The intensity of each hike varies throughout the week. We cater to all levels of fitness, so you determine your own pace. We always have trainers and guides to accompany and encourage all guests.
The scenery you will be encountering is breathtaking. Ilha Grande is one of the last strongholds of the Atlantic Rain forest. Being a government-protected reserve, you will see one of the richest ecosystems in its virgin state.
Sea Kayaking is a peaceful way to get up close and personal with Ilha Grande and meditate against the backdrop of its beautiful, uplifting sights and sounds. Ilha Grande is one of the few places on earth with no cars or paved roads. Along with rain forest hiking, sea kayaking is one of our favorite ways to travel from beach to beach. It is also an amazing workout for the upper body working the triceps, biceps, chest, forearms, abdomen. If you have never kayaked before don't feel intimidated. Upon your arrival to the island we will give you a hands-on kayak class instructing you on technique and safety. Also, we have trainers that will be kayaking with you matching your pace and ensuring that you reach your destination safely.
Yoga is the sanscrit word for unity. It is an ancient practice with the main purpose of seeking the union of mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is not only about making postures; it is a whole philosophy and a practical way to achieve enlightenment. You will be doing yoga every morning. There is also an optional class in the evenings. We work with all levels, so if you have never tried yoga do not be intimidated; our instructors will assist you through the course. The intense yoga classes will help your body, mind and soul staying united and tuned with the practice of this ancient art.
Massage is a great way to wind down after a full day of physical activity. Our massage therapists will work out any aches and pains you may be experiencing, rejuvenating your body to continue our challenging program. You have a one hour full body massage 5 of the seven days you are with us. You will be receiving your massage in the early evening just after returning from the trails or after dinner, relaxing your body for a great night's sleep.
You do not have to be a certified scuba diver to enjoy the beautiful plants, animals, and fish that live in the incredible world beneath the water. Snorkeling is fun, easy, and a safe way to explore the underwater world. We offer snorkeling as an option during our downtime at certain designated beaches (subject to weather conditions).
