Excellent trip, despite the sunset not playing. Rosanna was a star and very knowledgeable. As well as fun. The boat ride was great and the swim fun too. Well recommend

Itinerary
Quick photo stop at Ilha Fiscal — the neo-Gothic island palace that hosted the last imperial ball in Brazil, in 1889, just days before the monarchy fell.
Cruise past the Museum of Tomorrow — one of the world's most striking contemporary buildings, right on the waterfront of Porto Maravilha.
Stop for photos in front of the MAC — Oscar Niemeyer's iconic flying saucer-shaped museum perched on the cliffs of Niterói, with Rio's skyline as the backdrop
Swimming stop in calm, clear water — pool noodles provided. Depending on conditions, this stop may take place at Enseada da Urca instead.
The final stretch of the tour — cruising back across Guanabara Bay at sunset, with Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain lit up by the last light of the day. The best seat in Rio, and it's on the boat.

it was a lovely trip, and Rosanna was excellent she made us feel very welcome and helped us book a great restaurant for the evening. It was a shame the sunset did not play along, but the trip and swim were lovely and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Rosanne is a star and very knowledgeable. Well worth it.
We really enjoyed our experience and were very appreciative of the accommodative approach and the amazing personality of Alexia who made our trip the best! The experience was great from start to end the boat ride was well organised and was enjoyable and safe!
You will never regret going on a sunset boat cruise 🚢 in Rio de Janeiro. We had beautiful views of Christ the redeemer and sugar mountain amongst others. The crew was great hosts, energetic and awesome im all forms. I highly recommend Rio water fun crew 😍
It was a boat ride where they didn't tell you where the life vests were. The area they had taken us to swim in, the water was not clear. We able to take some nice pictures
We had a wonderful sunset boat tour on our final evening in Rio. Our guide was superb, spoke great English and told us interesting facts about so much that we passed. It was a small group of 9 of us passengers so there was plenty of space on the boat and we had a nice stop for some swimming - we could get changed privately in the interior of the boat and there was a toilet if needed. Unlimited beers, soft drinks and snacks were great too. A super end to our trip.
Had such a great experience! The tour was great and didn’t feel rushed at all! Definitely worth the money!
We had an amazong time, all the staff very professional, the views amazing, the offered drinks, beer, snacks on board. Everything was on schedule
A nice boatride with little to no waves. Drinks included, a short visit to a beach, and back in the sunset. A very nice and chill tour, with friendly guide
What an incredible crew! Everything was perfect. Thank you! We saw beautiful landscape and enjoyed the sunset on the way back to port.
Was awesome , recommend the sunset session , our guide was very fun and friendly , spoke great English which was very helpful
Wonderful experience, highly recommend the sunset option. Great views and friendly guide
My daughter and I had an amazing time on the Rio de Janeiro Sunset Boat Tour! The views were absolutely breathtaking. A special thank you to our guide, Alexia, who was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the tour. She made everyone feel comfortable and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. She even taught me a few dance moves, which added a fun and memorable touch to the experience! Captain Sérgio was fantastic as well. He navigated the boat smoothly and safely while creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone on board. One tip for anyone taking this tour in June: be sure to bring a jacket or sweatshirt. Once you get out on the water, it can get surprisingly chilly, so having an extra layer will help you stay comfortable so you can fully enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro. It was the perfect combination of stunning scenery, great music, wonderful hospitality, and unforgettable memories!
I had an amazing experience ! I was very relaxed and they had plenty of snacks and drinks ! I also found out a lot about Brazil and its history. They’re so friendly and nice. You will have a great time ! Will definitely book again when I come back to vision!
My tour was with Rosane and she is incredible and very accommodating!! She spoke fluent English and was great to chat with! The tour lasted right around the 3 hour mark and we went by some beautiful landmarks! We also stopped in a bay for 45ish minutes to swim, the water was very salty which makes it so easy to float and relax. There were also drinks, snacks, and beer on the boat for anyone who wanted it! I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is thinking about going on this tour!
Alexia and Sergio were a tourists dream. We had 3 different groups that all spoke 3 different languages, and they did a great job explaining the cultural significance of each landmark in every language. They also played so many genres of music authentic to Rio and showed us the dances to each. There truly couldn’t be a better guide. They went above and beyond to show us sites not even mandatory in the tour. They gave plenty of recommendations to visit within each city we passed by on the tour. They made us feel like authentic cariocas! If you want a tour of Rio, this is the one you need to be apart of.
It was wonderful and slow, just like Alexia said , people focus so much about going from one place to another while on vacation that they forget to take it slow. It was a welcome experience.
I went to Rio for my birthday and this tour was the highlight of my trip. This boatride was magical. I dont have the words to describe it, Rio has the most beautiful sunsets in the world (i have been to 23 countries). The tour guide (RoseAnne, a former flight attendant like me) was so informative and kind. She blessed me in front of the mountain top church the sailors went back in the days for protection before heading back to Europe. They also sang happy birthday to me, it was the best moment of my life. I will never forget this sunset boatride. Merci pour tout, je vous adore !!!! Love from Montreal, i will be back soon.
A great deal for the price! The guides were perfect & the group was just the right size. Bring your own snacks & drinks for convenience. Bring swimsuits too. A relaxin & fun trip.
OUR EXPERIENCE WAS PHENOMENAL! Our guide was Rosane & captain Isaac. Rosane was an absolute life of the party, she educated us on plenty of sights and gave us the historical backgrounds on it all. They both allowed us to play our own music, Rosane even danced with us! Anyone would have a great time with them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE!
This was the best experience!! Super sweet people rosane and isaac made the trip super welcoming and kept us well informed! Recommending them to all of my friends traveling here
They are thieves. The tour on Viator listed the scheduled time as 14:30. I was at the meeting point at 14:10 and waited until 14:40. I tried to contact the operator multiple times and finally left and requested a refund. I received a call an hour later from the tour guide telling me that the tour was scheduled for 15:30 and that she was sorry the wrong time was shown and I should try to get a refund. They rejected my refund. Do not do business with this company. They do not communicate and will not refund you if you miss the tour due to their failure to communicate.
They provided us with complimentary drinks and snacks. Also our tour guide provided us with great information about the spots we went to
If you're a solo traveler wondering whether to take this trip, let me assure you it's an absolute yes! The sunset trip was a true highlight of my time in Rio, with its stunning view and great vibe. Rosane, our guide, was warm and welcoming, making sure I felt part of the group despite being the only English speaker. The experience was nothing short of exceptional!
It was an amazing trip with a perfect sunset and a refreshing stop to swim and take pictures. Rafaela took really good care of everyone and explained a lot about the area and its special places + history.
The tour guide Rosane was fabulous companion to be very helpful , cheerful and tour itself was dream come true for me my words can’t explain the sunset view and the return trip with cool breeze. Tried Brazilian drink which was very good too. Boat ride was smooth thanks to captain. Can’t thank more for the Rio tours.
This sunset cruise was amazing. Rosean and the captain were very accommodating. We felt welcomed throughout the tour. The main places of interest were beautiful to see from a different perspective being at sea. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey and the hospitality and wished we had some extra hours. Would definitely repeat once in Rio.
Nice couple of hours on the water seeing spots we couldnt see on land. Roseann was educational and kept a good vibe going. Worth the money even though we missed the sun.
Wife loved it—captain and tour guide were incredible and the snacks were delicious! Absolute must-do when in Rio. Would recommend going twice!
Rose was great. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommended. Have a chance to swim if you want. Best place to seat is the back.
We just loved the boat ride!!! Even it was very windy, our Captain made the very best out of it. Very cool views, also of the Airport Santos Definitively a Must do in Rio....
This experience was an amazing experience. The tour operator was very respectful, knowledgeable, and helpful the entire trip. They took note of what the passengers wanted, and gave us snacks and drinks. The tour also had a portion where you could swim and many awesome places to take pictures. My only complaint was something completely out of the hand of the company, and the day was unfortunately cold but they still tried the best to accolade everyone on board. I would definitely book this tour again as I believe the value of the experience is so worth it. Highly recommend this trip for anyone
Such a great boat trip! And the staff was very nice! They gave us history and we had great views of Rio
Easy to locate, lovely boat, great guide with lots of knowledge. We enjoyed the stops and the swimming. Drinks and snacks aplenty. Would recommend.
Great boat excursion, highly recommend. The paddle board and pool noodles were a great addition for the swimming by the beach.
The driver was reallly accommodating with the music etc. even though this is more for couples. For friends this is for the older crowd not like the other party boats
Great tour with Leo!!! I arrived late and waited and assisted with my arrival. I highly appreciated him doing so. Once on the boat the vibe and ambiance was top notch, there were plenty of snacks and drinks to enjoy. We hit several sites and we even saw planes take off. Overall I would rate this experience a 10/10.
I had the most amazing time on this sail. Rafaela was the best host and always made sure I was comfortable. I would definitely be back whenever I’m in Brazil.
wow what an amazing experience, our guide was very friendly and professional, fantastic views, a must do excursion when you visit Rio
We had a great time in our private tour. The boat mentioned that it was up to 11 people, but we had it all to ourselves for a family of four. It was a wonderful experience a lot better than the other tours that I saw that were very crowded.I definitely recommend it.
Rafaela’s service was outstanding, and Leo was extremely attentive during the tour. Rio de Janeiro is absolutely beautiful, and seeing it from a new angle is an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this experience!
We had an unforgettable time with Rio Water Fun on their Sunset Boat Tour! From the start, Rafaela was incredibly helpful and gave us all the information we needed. The boat ride itself was amazing — the views were absolutely stunning! Our sailor, Leo, was very kind and explained all the points where we stopped along the way. My four-year-old son was in awe — he was so happy and especially loved it when the boat sped up! It was also my mom’s first time on a boat, and she was thrilled and full of excitement. They helped us take lots of beautiful photos, including some stunning sunset shots of me and my husband that we’ll always treasure. One of the highlights of the tour was stopping near the airport and watching planes land right above us — such a unique and exciting moment! This experience was truly special, and we strongly recommend it. You’ll have the best day ever!
views are amazing and sunset was so beautiful, watched it from inside the water - took so many photos and crew were so knowledgeable on the history of brazil and how rio came to be, given good amount of time at stop off to jump into water and swim! also lovely snacks and drink selection 💕
The tour was amazing. Beautiful boat, nice people, good vibes. The boat stopped at beautiful spots where you could swim and paddleboard. #het was heel leuk 👍
I booked this on the final night of staying on Rio. The boat is smaller than I thought and accommodateed about 11 people. The host was lovely, very lively. I got a abit sea sick when we anchored for the swim. Must have been the boat rocking. Needless to say i was happy to return to land. Great experience but there are more luxury experiences in ans around the Marina area
We had a very fun time on this sunset boat excursion. The beers, soda, and snacks were a nice addition to a fun experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of insight and history on the area around Rio. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷
Great time on the water. The guide was very knowledgeable and played cool music. It was a small group so it felt very private.
HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TIME!! Rafaela was the sweetest and taught us so much about Rio’s history, she even took our pictures which came out looking great. My friends and I had the best time.10/10 would recommend
Great tour guide, nice snacks and drinks, perfectly timed trip around the bay. Loved it. We even got a chance to jump in and swim which was a nice touch.
Even though the weather wasn’t the best, the trip was still amazing. Our tour guide spoke English and was very friendly. I would definitely recommend.
