The price is very attractive: at least in 2021, a ride for two people costs R$ 12 and for three, R$ 15. To my surprise, you can ride in groups of three. You pay for 30 minutes of enjoyment. Therefore, if you exceed this time, you will be charged R$ 5 for every additional 10 minutes.
Is the tour worth it?
The paddle boat is a great opportunity to see the Dique do Tororó from a new perspective. Plus, I found it a safe outing. After all, they provide life jackets for everyone who participates.

The tip is to always paddle through the waters of the Dique. If you go near the edges, you risk running your paddleboat aground. I loved the feeling of getting so close to the orixás, because for those who like to take photos it's an unmissable opportunity.
It can also be a romantic moment for couples. After all, if you go as a couple, it's a chance to enjoy a sunny day, the view of the trees, and the weather to do something different for the one you love.
And it's for all ages. I saw a pair of little boys riding it. In other words, since it only requires you to pedal and hold the handlebars, it becomes very accessible to everyone.
