“The activity was great - definitively a positive having a speedboat to get around (no travel sickness). The day was enjoyable.. I decided to do the hike and it was worth it for the views. Everyone was friendly. Captain spoke little English but other guests on hand to translate which wasn’t a problem at all. Good value for money”

3.Rio de Janeiro: Shared Speedboat Tour with Beer Included!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $60

See Rio from a shared speedboat, swim near the Cagarras Islands, and enjoy cold beer, water, soda, and floaties for $60.

“The boat trip was relaxing, informative, and quite pleasant. Our skipper, Ricardo, was great. He had the right balance of telling us what we were looking at, and staying quiet so we could enjoy the ride. I saw no info that indicated we could swim from the boat if we wore a suit, so we were unprepared. (Not a big problem as we're not big swimmers; just a point for other travelers.) I was amused that the beer we were offered was Budweiser. As an American, it made me laugh because I expected a local brew. We enjoyed the ride, and the unique perspective of Rio from the water.”
