About Jolly Green Tours

A More Meaningful Way to Experience Brazil

Jolly Green Tours was founded by Martin and Amy with a straightforward mission: to bridge the gap between international travelers and the authentic soul of Brazil. We believe that the most memorable travel experiences are not just about the places we visit, but about the people we meet, the cultures we discover, and the connections we create along the way.

After years of navigating the global travel space, we noticed a recurring problem. Many international travelers visit incredible destinations but rarely experience the local culture beyond the surface. Language barriers, generic itineraries, and a lack of true cultural context often leave travelers feeling disconnected from the very places they came so far to discover. We built Jolly Green Tours to change that.

Local Roots, Global Standards

For Martin, the Costa Verde has always been home. Having grown up between São Paulo and the historic, wild coastlines of Paraty, Angra dos Reis e Ubatuba, his deep, lifelong ties to the region's communities and traditional Caiçara culture form the backbone of our operations.

Amy brings a diverse global perspective to the heart of the company. Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, to a multicultural family, her extensive experience with international hospitality and guest relations ensures that every itinerary is seamless, sophisticated, and tailor-made for global travelers seeking flawless execution.

Together, we saw an unparalleled opportunity to help travelers experience the Costa Verde through an authentic, immersive, and stress-free lens.

What We Do

We design curated experiences and itineraries for international travelers who demand more than generic sightseeing. Our network connects you directly with:

• Authentic local culture and traditions
• Traditional communities, indigenous groups, and local artisans
• Pristine nature and outdoor adventures led by expert guides
• Immersive local food experiences and culinary workshops
• Meaningful human connections supported by thoughtful, multilingual hospitality

Our Vision

We believe travel should feel personal, immersive, and deeply connected. Following our launch in 2025, we have continuously expanded our reach, building deep partnerships with local guides and heritage keepers across the region.

Our goal remains unchanged: to design moments that are remembered not just because of what was seen, but because of what was felt. We don't just show travelers the Costa Verde—we help them connect with it.
