Paddling near Recife, Pernambuco
Recife sits at the mouth of the Rio Capibaribe on the Atlantic coast of Pernambuco, a city shaped by rivers, estuaries, and open ocean. Paddlers here work the urban and peri-urban stretches of the Capibaribe, explore mangrove-lined waterways, and take to the coast for SUP and sea kayaking. Operators such as RecTur Turismo, WS Turismo NE, and Extreme Esportes run guided kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddleboard outings in and around the city.
