Rio de Janeiro: Sunset Boat Tour with Swimming, Drinks & Snacks
Description
Board at Marina da Glória and cruise Guanabara Bay on a 3-hour boat tour timed to put you on the water at exactly the right moment for sunset. The group is capped at 11 passengers — no crowds, plenty of space on board, and full attention from the crew for everyone. Along the way, you'll pass the Museum of Tomorrow, stop for photos in front of Oscar Niemeyer's MAC in Niterói, and have 1 hour for swimming at Praia de Adão e Eva or Enseada da Urca. On the crossing back, with the sun going down over the bay, you'll see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain lit up by the last light of the day — straight from the water. Beer, water, soft drinks and snacks are all included

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.

Sensational walk! A different view of Rio de Janeiro! It's worth it! The guide Alexia, left everything cooler, with her charisma! Had Beers and Snacks included in the tour! I recommend!
It was amazing, Alexia really knows what she's talking about, she can guide, she's nice, friendly, takes good photos, and still makes a little funk for us to see kkkkkk, we love it!
Excellent experience, we have come to Rio many times but this time we decided to do different things, and this tour was amazing!!!
Excellent, Alexia! Also, Sergio! Recommended and unmissable excursion.
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!
Amazing experience! The guides were extremely attentive and helpful, making the tour even more special. The explanations on the sights were excellent. In addition, they took us to stunning landscapes that rendered amazing photos. I strongly recommend to those who want to know the main attractions of the region with comfort, safety and a high quality experience!
