    Nice and relaxing cruise

    Very nice cruise of the bay with great views. Only negative was the pick up process. We had many stops and it was like herding cows getting everyone where they were supposed to be. This process didn't make the tour as personable.

    Tour de Force:)

    Nice scenery, unfortunately a bit too "shipping tourists around and make them spend extra money"-feeling through the whole concept.

Experience Boat Tours in Rio de Janeiro

Best things to do: You’ve got the beaches, Copacabana anyone? You’ve got Sugarloaf Mountain, the carnival and Christ the Redeemer statue to explore. Iconic attractions that every visitor must visit. Plus, other places like Ipanema Beach, the Maracanã, and the soccer stadium. You can also enjoy some history and nature in the Jardim Botanico. Finally, the Museu do Amanha, is a place to dive into science and a futuristic structure in its own right to marvel at. Plenty to do before the beach calls.

Best time to go: Head for Rio during the winter period, between December and March, when the weather is warm, and the time to hit those famous beaches. Oh, you may be wondering when the famous Rio party starts. Well, that’s in February, so expect it to be busy, but so much fun. How many days should you spend here? Rio is a sprawling metropolis, so you are going to need a few days to make the most of your time here. Plus, of course, you’ll want some beach time! 5 days is the perfect amount to cover all the major attractions and catch the beach life.

• Rio de Janeiro or January River as it is known has some 200 rivers running through it, but the nickname of January River refers to… none of them! It’s actually a bay.

• As you gaze on down the urban sprawl below from the Christ the Redeemer statue, remember you are standing by one of the new 7 wonders of the world. It’s a masterpiece alongside others such as the Roman Colosseum and the Taj Mahal.

• Rio has the world’s clearest blue skies. Yep, it’s based on a survey done back in 2006. Anya Hohnbaum visited 20 countries to gather her research.
