So glad we went! - This tour was so fun! We didn't schedule a lot of activities for our weeklong vacation in Rio, but this was great. We couldn't go out on the day we reserved the tour because the conditions of the sea weren't ideal, but the company quickly worked with us to reschedule for the next day. April is pretty cold for snorkeling so we spent more time out of the water than in, but it was 100% worthwhile just to have the boat tour of the islands with our fantastic guide, who was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw all kinds of wildlife and really enjoyed the experience.

Best time ever! - The team were so friendly and helpful, we went to different areas to snorkel, saw lots of fish and turtles and the others saw a stingray! The weather allowed us to walk on the island and see some birds. Amazing trip over all.

Incredible view with diving in clear waters full of fish - The day was beautiful and the water was transparent. We were able to snorkel, see lots of fish, with a good variety and turtles. Afterwards we walked around the island, where several birds made their nests and didn't mind our presence nearby. The view from the Tijuca islands to the mainland is also incredible: we can see from Pedra da Gávea to Christ the Redeemer, as well as the beaches of Joatinga and São Conrado. Beautiful and peaceful tour, with a guide who is always attentive and instructing safety procedures. I recommend!

Excellent experience - Great outing which is a change from the rest, we saw a lot despite the visibility in the water for snorkeling which was not the best. However, one of the 2 guides explained more things than the other.
