It was really nice except it was not very clear from the tour description that we would head outside of Rio by bus for about one hour to the fishermen village, then take a small boat (not a big one) and then sail. The swimming stop was near one island but we went swimming from the boat not from the beach at the island. The lunch stop was on a very nice and almost empty island. There were small hotels without any guests outside, and we were very hungry by that time.

You have to be ready for a quite long drive before you take a boat. The tour is not very long and you are back to Rio quite early.

Very nice trip! My only complaint was about the long time it took us to pick up people from the different hotels - more than an hour and the toilet on the boat were very very dirty! The lunch was delicious!

The tour guide was excellent! This tour is highly recommended, the only thing that I didn't like was the fact that beverages are not included in what we paid to Viator.

This was a fun excursion, but it wasn't exactly what we had expected. We wanted to get out of Rio for a bit, and this trip fit the bill, however there are some factors you need to consider before choosing this trip. Consider the weather, as the trip can easily be ruined by rain. Consider which day you take the trip. We went on a Sunday and missed out on the Hippie Fair in Ipanema which is only held on Sundays. Consider how long it may take to get there; the drive is about an hour and a half, but with pickups it could take longer, so be sure to eat breakfast before you go. The boat ride was pleasant, but verges on a booze cruise. Take a towel if you plan on swimming, and bring sunscreen because the sun can be intense for a long day out. The resort where we stopped for lunch provided great food, and because we went during the off season, it was completely deserted, which was fantastic. It isn't as secluded as I had imagined, but it was really nice in any case. This excursion will allow you to see some of the coast south of Rio, so if you are interested, definitely choose it.
