Challenging but fun with a variety of views
The hike is a mix of jungle and beach. The jungle parts were, at times, challenging due to loose ground or loose tree hand holds for climbing. Our hike was 9.92miles and took about 7 hours. We loved it! Our guide, Mauricio, was exellent! Mauricio provided a great education and history as well as techical advice for climbing. We packed lunches and there was an opportunity to stop for breakfast and stop on the way back. In additon to the guide, there was a seperate driver for our trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We hope to see you again in your next trip to São paulo... Have Good times!!! Gracias por tus comentarios! Esperamos verte de nuevo en tu próximo viaje a São Paulo... Que lo pases bien! Obrigado pelo seu feedback! Esperamos vê-lo novamente em sua próxima viagem a São Paulo... Divirta-se!!!

no tour, no cancellation
booked a month in advance. Received quick confirmation. After that no more communication. Contact us a few days in advance. I wouldn't get a definitive answer until the evening before. Called several times that evening. Ultimately was told that the tour would not go ahead. Do not book here. Last minute policy and you end up with nothing without cancellation information.
Response from the operator: The tour was cancelled because the bad weather conditions. And we know that the travelers wants to do the ride, but we should prioritize the safety of group. This information is in our terms and conditions. Any other questions: +55(11)995671910 Suppot Team VIDA & ENERGIA

Book with another company!
I booked this trip a month in advance and 1 week prior to our booking they canceled! I engaged their chat to find out what was going on and was told that it was canceled locally and had no other reason why. They didn't have anything available to book on the days we were available. Very frustrating. I will never book anything with them again. I simply dont trust then to follow through with bookings.
Response from the operator: We are sorry for not being able to carry out the tour as per your reservation, but you were informed upon cancellation that there were problems at the destination which made it impossible to carry out the tour. We had a warning from local authorities about the possibility of landslides on the slopes due to the large amount of rain that week, which made the tour impossible for safety reasons. Adults generally understand, unlike spoiled children who want things their way. We want to provide the best experience for travelers, always. Regards VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM

Beautiful views and fun hike
This hike was excellent! The views are so much more beautiful than the photos online show, we got to see banana trees, beaches, and many butterflies. It's quite physical, with some minor scrambling and moments of going off track, but achievable if you're fairly active or used to hiking. The view at the final beach is completely worth it and the hike will be adjusted to your fitness/level of challenge. I recommend you bring snacks, something sugary and plenty of water so it's comfortable.

3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.
How much does 3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo cost?
+
Prices start at $123 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sao Paulo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sao Paulo is not rushed.
Is 3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sao Paulo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sao Paulo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sao Paulo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Beaches Hiking Santo Amaro Island - Paradise Route Tour from São Paulo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sao Paulo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sao Paulo?
+
On Outty we rank every Sao Paulo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Rio in One Day: Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf & Local Lunch, 5-hour Private Tour Of São Paulo With Its Main Sights – Optional Airport Pickup, 6-Hour Classic Half-Day Private Tour of São Paulo – Optional Airport Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sao Paulo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sao Paulo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
