Best beaches in Rio - We had an amazing guide, really enjoyed the beaches and the boat cruise was so much fun and vibrant. The drive is very long so be prepared but it’s definitely worth it

Fun in the Sun - The trip was great, highly organized , safe, and fun. Its a great day trip from Rio, and some of the nicest beaches/clearest water I've ever seen.

The day was perfect. After an early... - <p>The day was perfect. After an early pick-up at the hotel, we went to Arraial do Cabo it's a 2-3 hours ride depends on traffic. We stop in the morning for coffee etc not included. We had around thirty minutes at the port before going on the boat, there were some shops, food and restrooms. Then we went for a four hours cruise, we stopped 30 minutes at Praia do do Forno and Praia do Farol. Our guide Isaac was very nice and friendly as well as the cruise crew. On the boat, there were food and drinks not included, music. I would definitely recommend this tour because the landscapes were amazing.</p>

Not a tour for English speakers. Guide... - <p>Not a tour for English speakers. Guide barely spoke English.</p>

The bus broke down - Got up 5am for pick up After driving around for a couple of hours picking up other people bus broke down and we returned. I hope I will get a refund.

One of the worst trips I have ever done - I booked this trip as my last day in Rio, was very excited by the tour description and I request English as my option. 7 am was pick up time … was messaged the night before to say 7:50 am pick up … waited until 8:30 before I was picked up by coach (large tour) then took another hour to pick up more people before we started the 3 hours journey. The tour guide did not speak a word of English or Spanish … I was the only foreign person on the coach traveling solo. The tour guide made no effort to explain what was happening or the itinerary for the day … I tried to call the tour operator but no answer. Apparently the bout trip was cancelled due to weather conditions. I was alone all day with no idea what was happening .., was a very long journey and even longer with all the pick ups and drop offs. Got back by 10pm while the actual trip was 2 hours on first beach which was the only nice part of the trip, 1 hour below average lunch, one hour on another beach - which was very boring and nothing to see and 45 min sunset stop on another below average beach. No one told me how long were the stops for and had to keep an eye out for the tour guide incase they left without me!!!! very disappointed over all. Definitely not worth it and left bad taste to otherwise a very good trip in Rio.

Complete Waste - Disorganized debacle! - Do not take this tour. The worst ever. One star because I could not give 0. We were picked up an hour and a half late (tour says 7:00 am, picked up at 8:25). The tour company has no one to answer phones and no one sent us a message telling us they we’re running that late. Then we drove around Rio picking up 15 other people; then taken on a 4.5 hour bus drive. We were so late arriving (2:00 pm), that we missed the last extremely packed ferry boat. Where humans were on board packed like sardines in the height of Covid. We were lied to, and told the that the coast guard had cancelled the trips, but I overheard others saying that the last ferry was full for the day. So we didn’t even get to go. They told us they were cancelled so it didn’t look like it was because we were so late. They said they would only return $6 dollars ($30 Reais) of our money as that was all the ferry ride was worth. Even though it was the only reason we had elected to go. The guide wanted us to pay more money so we could do other things in Arraial. The other option was to drive to other beaches so we could swim on the beach, something I could have done right outside my own hotel back in Rio. The tour description says the tour is 12 hours, no, we were told we would be back between 11:00 pm and 1:00 am (18 hours, if you count from when we were supposed to leave) because of “traffic,” but we were told this only after we were 4.5 hours away from Rio. It was so bad my wife and I elected to pay $150.00 US dollars to take a taxi the 180 kilometers back to Rio… We lost an entire day of our vacation on a face-masked bus/taxi ride, and got nothing of what we planned. I’ll be fighting to get my money back, which I’m sure will result in nothing. Because there is no accountability… The whole trip is a disorganized shuttle-ride to an extremely commercialized pre-packaged, fast-food-style cattle-herding operation… that is… if you even get to do it.

Why you do that to me - Well we arrived after the 3hours ride. Then to no surprise...no boat...so I was pissed. Well they had us eat the buy more tickets for a buggy ride...I feel taken advantage of. The beaches were nice. I just want my refund for what I didn't do

Horrible experience - Terrible trip. The description did not mention that this was pretty much a party boat. Very loud and crowded. Bare minimal English spoken by the guides. Was not meant for snorkeling. No fish and no spot to snorkel, just swim.

Disappointed- Not English Speaking Tour!!!! - This was supposed to be a English speaking tour. Our tour guide did not speak English. When we asked if he can translate what he said in Portuguese to English he said no. Once in awhile he would pull up Google translate. From our understanding of this tour, I thought we were taking a boat to Arraial do Cabo but we drove over two hours in a bus. The boat tour was cancel due to strong current which is fine since we cant predict mother nature. The tour guide brought us to two different beaches and the rest of the time he basically said to go find something to do. Very disappointed. He knew boat tour was cancel before we started our journey. He should have given us the option if we wanted to continue or stay back. We wasted a precious day
