    It was a wonderful trip. Very scenic. We had time to swim at 2 beaches and 3 spots off the boat. Flavia was one of the best tour guides I’ve come across. We were the only English speakers on the tour and she made sure all our questions were answered and we were comfortable. A thumbs up to Paulo the driver who drive carefully and alertly avoiding an accident when a car pulled in front of us.
    The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is that lunch was provided at 5pm when we returned from the boat trip. That was a long time to wait especially as the first hotel pick up was at 6.30. Food was available to buy on the boat but as lunch was included in the price most people didn’t want to. It might be an idea for the company to provide a packed lunch for each passenger as they get on the boat.

    A great way to see the key attractions Rio has to offer in one day. The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Would recommend, especially if you are not in Rio for long.

    It was an awesome trip. I recommend the visit and commend the tour guides for an excellent work. The day started with a pick-up, filled by the boat ride. The sea adventures and stops were cool and the lunch was well organized.

    The boat ride was great and the staff were wonderful. Only issue was the long bus ride. Almost three hours each way. Started at 7 AM and got back at 11 PM. But the boat ride was a lot of fun.

    The tour was well organized and the view of the crystal waters of Angra dos reis e ilha grande was breathtaking. The tour operator was bilingual a d spoke in English too which was really appreciated. We were picked up from our doorstep and taken to Angra dos reis, the islands were amazing. Two things that could have been better are - the washroom in the boat was not cleaned, it would be really helpful especially for women if the washroom could have been cleaned and the buffet included in the trip was given very late and the vegetarian or vegan options were very limited. Other than that everything was amazing.

    This was an amazing trip, worth the 3 hours ride… easy hiking, beautiful beaches and we even spotted a whale! We drank coconut milk and ate great local fish. Totally recommended!

    Trip was a bit disappointing. Barely any guiding in English. Crowded boat. Mediocre food. 1 hour stop at a gas station to have “lunch” or a snack with only horrible food options

    “This tour was fabulous day out.. I would recommend it to anyone. Tatiana the tour guide was very friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour. Both the boat driver and driver were amazing. Lunch was great on the beach. Really an unforgettable experience. I am so happy with this tour and highly recommend it.

    All the guides seemed great though we interacted with Manual the most since he spoke English. The other guides spoke Portuguese and the other participants were from the area and some had done the tour multiple times.

    Manuel was very friendly and upbeat! He was very nice about taking us to the side and explaining things in English and making sure we understood the mechanics. We had kayaked before but not really canoed with a group.

    The departure location was changed due to the weather and high waves at the initial site in Barra da Tijuca so it was moved to Marina de Gloria

    The tour lists "stops for photos and invigorating dives" so make sure to wear a bathing suit if you want to jump in! And not stated on the tour but I would definitely recommend water shoes or flip flops.

    If we ever make a return trip we would definitely book another canoe excursion out of Barra da Tijuca with Manuel and the company!

    We had a great time. We knew the drive was about 3 hrs there and back. We were on the boat around 12 and had a great time. It was a beautiful day. My daughter left her AirPods on the bus and our tour guide Rocío was awesome. We were able to coordinate a meet up to get the AirPods back

    Sergio and his team were very welcoming and started the trip with information and history of the areas we would visit. The boat and facilities were clean and working without issues. We had plenty of opportunities to take pictures and record video between all the Rio bay landmarks. The snacks, grilled meats, and drinks provided were delicious and on par with a sit-down establishment. We would definitely book a trip with Sergio when we come back!

    Ilha Grande is a huge nature reserve so I was expecting a nature focussed trip. This was not the tour I was looking for. It was mostly a party on a boat with a big coach trip to get there and back.

    Between all the hotel pickups and the admin at the port, it took 5 hours from pickup time to actually getting on the boat. 3.5 hours to get back.

    The boat was pirate themed. It had a DJ and a big soundsystem with cheesy dance music and a bar in the middle. In the evening, you could go upstairs where it was quieter but there was no shade so not really a fun option through the day.

    On the plus side, snorkeling with the fish in the lagoon was really beautiful. You should definitely pay the extra for the snorkelling kit (or bring your own). The guide was professional and spoke good English (although less clear if you went off script).

    The main beach stop was super weird - there are two houses at the back of the beach with big fences to keep the tourists out so you are basically fenced on to the beach.

    The food was basic but tasty - buffet with good salads, carbs, a couple of differen chicken stews and some fried fish. This is advertised as lunch but is actually about 4pm so make sure you bring snacks or pay for something to eat on the boat.

    I liked this tour. It takes you to some beautiful beaches and places were you can go snorkeling and see fish. For me it was a great day. The place we stoped for lunch was a bit expensive for me though.
