Bring water, sunscreen... - Bring water, sunscreen and something to eat! This is definitely beyond just a beginner hike, but if you have any previous hiking experience you’ll enjoy it! Well worth the views

One of the Best Experiences in Rio – Pedra da Gávea with an Amazing Team - We did the Pedra da Gávea hike last Wednesday and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The only small issue was a delayed start—we were asked to meet at 7:40am but didn’t begin until around 8:30am. However, this was a minor point and didn’t take away from what turned out to be a fantastic day. Our guide, Eduardo, was excellent—professional, supportive, and very attentive throughout. He kept everyone motivated and made sure we felt safe and confident, especially during the more challenging sections of the hike. Although we initially expected a private guide for our group of three, the tour was run as a larger group with multiple guides (Eduardo, Tarzan, and Ronald) each leading smaller sub-groups. This actually worked really well. The guides communicated constantly and supported each other, ensuring that everyone kept pace and reached each checkpoint safely. A standout touch was how the guides helped capture the experience. They took photos and short videos at key points along the hike, which made a big difference and allowed us to fully enjoy the moment. Rodrigo, who organised the booking, was also great—he reached out via WhatsApp beforehand, provided clear instructions, and was very responsive to any questions. Overall, everything was run professionally and the whole team went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. If you’re considering Pedra da Gávea, I would strongly recommend booking with this group—having experienced guides makes all the difference.

Challenging but very Rewarding - Challenging but very rewarding experience. You climb over 700m but the views are extraordinary. Requires good fitness. The rock sections were managed well by the tour provider.

Best views of Rio! And great fun getting there! - Firstly Rodrigo kindly let me rearrange the hike after I fell unwell on the morning of the hike, which was greatly appreciated. When I felt better and rearranged, the hike was super well organised with info prior and Eduardo our guide on the day made it a greatly enjoyable day! The best view of Rio without a doubt!!!

Amazing views and experience lead by professionals!!! - The hike was long and challenging. There are portions of the hike that are a bit dangerous especially for those with little climbing experience, but Eduardo and our other guide were true professionals and helped with foot and hand hold placements when needed. They offered great guidance for hydration and food preparation and we were provided with climbing gear for the one portion of the hike where it is needed! The views are amazing and they take a bunch of great pictures and videos of the group/individuals that they can airdrop or message through whatsapp!

Amazing. - The overall experience was amazing. Guide Lucas a total crack made the crossing super enjoyable and entertaining. The challenging but spectacular road, and even though it was cloudy to be on top and see from time to time the city was just amazing. I recommend it and would do it again.
