Additional Information

We will collect you from your hotel and guide you to explore the ‘Brazilian Caribbean,’ a must-see location for any visitor experiencing Rio de Janeiro for the first time. It’s one of the most popular tourist spots in Brazil. You’ll schedule stops at Praia da Ilha do Farol, Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia, and Enseada da Praia do Forno, a place where you’ll have the chance to swim around the boat but disembarkation isn’t possible.

The vessel boasts a bar that offers a variety of snacks and beverages, a bathroom, entertainment supplies, and the option to rent a snorkeling mask.

  • Every nautical tour is subject to the authority of the Captaincy of Ports (Navy), which may prohibit the departure of vessels without prior notice, when weather conditions, mainly wind, compromise the navigability and safety of passengers and crew. For this reason, it may rarely happen that the boat trip is replaced by an alternative route and the client remains on the beach or on a panoramic tour in Jardineira. The tour guide establishes a meeting point and a time for lunch and return.
  • ALTERNATIVE ITINERARY In case of adverse weather conditions, an alternative route will be carried out, guaranteeing the success of the tour. There is no cancellation due to weather conditions. Itinerary for the tour without a boat: We use transport taxis, we do not refund values as the value goes to taxis. Go up to Pontal do Atalaia, stop at the steps (the little beaches of Pontal do Atalaia), three hours from the beach. Lunch in restaurant, buffet. And finally, we go to Praia Grande, to see the sunset.
  • We operate the tour, rain or shine. The day of the tour is chosen by the customer, therefore no refunds will be generated for bad weather. We will operate the tour rain or shine.
  • The tour is not private, but shared, and the guide will speak in English, Spanish and Portuguese
  • We are not responsible for items lost on our buses or vans.
  • Pick-ups in Barra da Tijuca and Recreio are not included.
  • In our company we operate with a diverse fleet of vessels. Our selection process is adapted daily to meet specific demands, offering boats with capacity for 50, 60, 80 and 90 passengers. To begin each trip, obtaining approval from the Military Navy is a prerequisite. This ensures that we work exclusively with boats that meet high standards, providing a quality experience and maximum safety for our customers.
  • During the peak tourist season in Rio de Janeiro, traffic is common due to its popularity. We started collecting in Leblon, went through several neighborhoods, ending with the last one in Lapa. Despite possible traffic challenges, our commitment to a smooth and enjoyable experience remains unwavering as we head to our final destination.

Solo traveler to "Brazilian Caribbean" with bus and party boat - I booked this trip through Viator as a solo traveler and was already prepared for what to expect, from the meeting point pickup, to air-conditioned coach bus, to the 3 hour bus ride to get to the boat, to the 25 BRL shared taxi fees to/from the docks and back to the coach bus, to the recommendation of carrying some spending money in cash to buy snacks and drinks on the party boat, to the final buffet late-lunch (or early dinner), and to the final return to Rio around 9pm. I was also aware of the tour being primarily in dual Portuguese and Spanish, which means that if you require English speaking tour guide, yu must request one specifically (but since I speak Spanish, no issues for me). So I had a great time and the weather was perfect and everything went accordingly as expected. Good communication from the tour provider. Definitely recommend! Thanks!

Mission Accomplished. - Rio Passeios e Trilhas tour is an incredible company, offering the best tourist service in Rio de Janeiro. The van is super comfortable, picks up and returns to the hotel. I want to record here about this agency, if you are looking for wonderful people, hire them, they are sensational, punctual, explanatory. It was an indescribable experience, I took the Arraial do Cabo tour yesterday with my girlfriend, it was super comfortable. Our BRAGA Guide was very helpful, attentive and communicative. In short, it was a great pleasure to travel Rio tour and trails tour, rated 1000 and I will book tours with them again.

Festive guide and heavenly landscapes - We had a wonderful day on this tour with Rafael. We had not privatized the boat, and yet we had plenty of room which allowed us to feel comfortable and at home on the boat. The islands and views are heavenly. The slide is a very good surprise. Rafael is a good-humoured guide, he made us laugh a lot, as did the adorable photographer. The guide took good care of my companion when he had a slight seasickness. Thank you Rafael from all of us for your sympathy, and we look forward to meeting you again in Rio next time!

A true paradise - The activity is spectacular, the beautiful places, the transportation from the river with air conditioning, the communication with the guide (Rafael) very good, you can tell that he likes to do his job well. It's a great time on the boat, they have a bar, with fair prices, I would return anyway. For those who have stayed far from the meeting points, you should leave well in advance since in the morning in Rio there is chaos with taxis, Uber, etc. It took us more than 1 hour during a 15-minute stretch during normal time, luckily the communication with the guide gave us another meeting point.
