Highlights
  • Mureta da Urca - Starting point

  • Urca - Passing through the site without stopping

  • Sugarloaf Mountain - Pão de Açúcar is probably the most famous tourist spot in Rio de Janeiro, next to the immense sculpture of Christ the Redeemer. Dominating the bay from its perch 395 feet above sea level, this granite peak offers a breathtaking view of the bay. You can get to the top thanks to a series of train and cable car systems linking you to the heights of Babylon and Urca.

  • Vermelha Beach - A beach in which its sands are very reddish and not so fine, its green and calm sea is much frequented by lovers of kayaks and Hawaiian canoes who love to paddle in these waters. The beach is between two hills, is near the entrance of the cable cars of the Sugar Loaf, it is in the neighborhood of Urca, near it there are also several universities and military institutions

  • Copacabana Beach - Perhaps the most known and frequented beach in Brazil in the world. Beach that is located in the south zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, where we have as frequenters a great diversity of people of Brazil and of the whole world

  • Ipanema Beach - The most charming beach in the city of Rio de Janeiro is in the southern part of the city, in the Ipanema neighborhood where most people live in the upper middle class. It was once the theme song of great composers.

  • Arquipelago das Cagarras - We continue to the Cagarras Islands. After time to dive and relax, we begin our return to the starting point.

  • We emphasize that the itinerary can be changed by the commander due to sea/climate conditions.

Perfect Way to See Rio from the Water - We wanted a “view from the water” perspective of Rio and this trip was exactly that. Our driver was Thiago. He was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. It was clear he wanted us to have a wonderful experience and he did everything to make that possible. Three hours was a perfect amount of time to be on the water and we covered a lot of territory during that time. It was fun to swim in the waters off of Ipanema Beach. There were 7 guests on the boat and plenty of room for all. Would highly recommend this trip if you want to get out on the water to see Rio de Janeiro.

Fun and affordable way to spend a day on the water - If you're looking for a fun and affordable way to spend a day on the water, then look no further than Rio Island Boat Tour. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you choose the perfect boat for your needs, and their prices are unbeatable. I had a blast cruising around the lake on their pontoon boat, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

Lack of assertive communication - Just to remember, they sell speedboat/boat trips and not the Sun! So they don't control the weather. I hired my tour through the MORAIS agency and when I got there it was this Rio Island, I didn't understand, but ok. This MORAIS agency gave me a time of 2:30 pm for the tour, which would be a 3-hour tour and would catch the sunset (it was cloudy on the day, there was no sunset and at the end there was a drizzle, but they are not to blame for the weather forecast). When I got there, the guy from Rio Island informed me that the tour was at 3:30 pm, I had to wait for 1 hour, terrified of being canceled because the weather was getting closer and closer. Anyway, there were 3 groups for this tour, about 12-14 people in each group, my group's boat was the only one that had a bathroom and HOW DISGUSTING, the bathroom was a puddle of piss, it looked chemical and it didn't flush (??) I know There's not even that possibility, with each wave the piss overflowed more. Other than that, it was a nice and incredible trip, the weather didn't help but it was worth the experience because Rio is beautiful in itself, in the description there were 3 stops for diving, we only had 2. And the description also mentioned each region we would pass through (I didn't have a guide so we went through them all like this (??) it was all the same in the middle of the sea), but it was delicious, apart from those “troubles”. I took a close-up and then changed the sky in Photoshop, everything was fine. But I think they should have a little more contact with the contractor, have more assertive and detailed communication.
