Rio Boat Tour: Check Out the Top Tips!

Rio de Janeiro is famous for its spectacular landscapes, and one of the best ways to enjoy this beauty is by taking our catamaran tour of Guanabara Bay.

On the Rio Boat Tour, you’ll have the chance to view 20 tourist spots in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Niterói from a different perspective. Here are some tips to make the most of your tour:

Choose the Best Time

With daily departures, the tour is available at different times: 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM (check the schedule for each departure day). The sunset experience (4:00 PM) offers a special lighting that enhances the natural beauty of Rio de Janeiro, providing excellent photo opportunities.

Prepare for the Experience

The tour lasts 1.5 hours. Remember to wear light clothing and sunscreen. An important tip is to also bring a jacket or windbreaker to ensure maximum comfort during the trip. We don’t recommend wearing hats or caps on the upper deck, as they may blow away during the tour.

The Boat and Accessibility

The catamaran has two levels: the first level is fully accessible for wheelchair users. It features air-conditioned space, a bar offering drinks and snacks for sale, accessible restrooms, and access to the bow. The second level houses the captain’s cabin and offers seats with a panoramic view.

Photo and Sightseeing Stops

The tour includes 3 stops for sightseeing and photos at the following landmarks: the Museum of Tomorrow, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC in Niterói), and the Bondinho do Pão de Açúcar®️ Park.

Safety First

During the tour, always follow the guidance of the tour guide and crew. Wear life jackets when requested, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.

Enjoy a New Perspective of Rio

The tour is operated by C2Rio Tours & Travel and includes an audio guide in 3 languages (Portuguese, English, and Spanish), which shares the history and interesting facts about the landmarks visible during the tour.
