    Early morning, but 1000% worth it! Stunning sunrise 🌄
    Had such a wonderful experience (albeit early!) it was completely worth it and the start to a great day. Nothing like a stunning sunrise, good exercise and great company to kickstart a day at the island! Thanks for everything Divaldo. Good for anyone that has at least some cardio/physical conditioning.

    Highlight of my trip
    I had an amazing experience with sunrise and night trip to see the bioluminescent plankton. Even though the weather conditions were not so favourable, Divaldo offered alternative routes and we made the best out of this trip. Thanks again for this unforgettable experience and smooth organization.

    Tranquil moments in nature!
    A beautiful, tranquil experience. We joined others at 4:30am to head out to sea. Heard a bit about the Polynesian canoes before we got going. When we got to the spot we were watching sunrise you could swim and enjoy the being with nature. Was such a lovely special experience an amazing and calm way to start the day. This is a great tour!

    What would Maui say... you're welcome
    If you're up for an incredible adventure, Rapa Nui Polynesian Canoe in Ilha Grande is the way to go! With Moana songs buzzing through my brain the entire time, waking up at 5:00 AM might sound tough, but trust me, catching the sunrise from the canoe is pure magic. And Junior – what a legend! He's not just a guide; he's your buddy on the water, making sure you feel like royalty. We were so blown away that we're planning a night trip to check out those glowing bioluminescent plankton. Can't wait to be back for round two! You're welcome!

The canoe tours with Rapa Nui Va'a were definitely a highlight during my time on Ilha Grande. It was so good that I actually did two tours - the sunrise one and another one during the night were we were able to swim with bioluminescent plankton (an unreal experience). Awesome guiding with a lot of information about canoeing and the surroundings. Can't recommend it enough.

Mahalo and his crew from Rapa Nui Va’ oClub allowed me the privilege to go for a sunrise paddle out in the bay in front of Abraão, because I was new crew I had to be first in the water and witnessed sun up from this perspective. A memory I’ll keep forever and can not recommend them highly enough. 👍

Amazing experience, rowing along the coast of a wild tropical island on a polinesian canoe (which is surprisingly stable) is quite a nice way to enjoy the nature, the sea and live the island. My girlfriend and I took part of 2 trips. One during the day and one in the night. Both are worthy. In day trip you xan appreciate the colours of the nature. In the night one you can literally appreciate the fluorescence of swimming in the ocean with phytoplankton. Our guide named Junior is very competent, friendly and makes you feel safe. You are duly provided with comfortable life vests.

Our guide took us on an amazing trip late in the evening. After dark, we peddled into the ocean to see (and to swim!) with luminous plankton. If you visit Ilha Grande, this is an experience you don't want to miss. It was magical. The guide was an excellent teacher and we felt completely safe in the canoe. It even has a hammock, so if you are tired of swimming, you can just relax and watch the sky. We couldn't recommend it more!

We have been with Divaldo in the bioluminescence tour, paddling in the night in the polynesian canoe. It has been a unique experience, when we arrived in the spot we jumped in the water that literally lighted up with thousands of underwater fireflies, it was the plancton! Don’t expect to caught that on camera its visible only with zero light, jut do it, feel it and live it! Divaldo is the best, truly amazing

Junior is a wonderful guide in both English and Portuguese and gave us a great night tour of the planktons. He also told us about the history of canoes which was very meaningful
