Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

After pick up from your hotel, you get to Marina da Gloria for your boat leaving at 9:30 am. Starting your tour, you will see the Museum of Tomorrow (Museu do Amanh), built by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. As you cross under the Rio Niteroi bridge, you can see the neighborhood of Santa Teresa, the Santos Dumont airport, and the three forts that were built to protect the city, the So Joo Fort, Lajes Fort, and Santa Cruz Fort. The big city, from afar, sounds rather quiet and peaceful. As you circle back, you will come across the city of Niteroi, on the other side of the bridge, from here you will have one of the best views of Rio de Janeiro. They take some time to take actual Snapshots to show it to friends and family. You will sail to see the most beautiful landscape of Rio. It is the largest bay of the world in volume of water, it has several islands, as the Governor's island, Fundo and Snakes Island. During our tour, if you are looking to let off some steam, just help yourself with the bar inside the boat, where you can buy caipirinhas and others alcoholic drinks or sodas and water. We also offer season tropical fruits, such as watermelon and pineapples for free! After heading back, you will drive back through Aterro do Flamengo where you can see the beautiful Sugar Loaf in all its glory. You will enjoy a traditional Barbecue Lunch, All-You-Can-Eat style. Brazilian Churrascarias (Barbecue places) offer a wide variety of sides and alternative options, in case you decide to stick with a vegetarian option, you will still leave delighted. After this delicious lunch, you will be dropped off at your hotel.

it's not 6 hours - not even close MAYBE - JUST MAYBE we were on the schooner for 2 hours - i would say 1.2 hours nice trip thru the bay - but certainly not worth the money - and they exagerate the time ziggy was our guide and he was awesome - the best but he has no control over the time - which they exagerate!!!!!

very misleading - certainly not 6 hours - we were on the boat exactly 1 hour, 40 minutes would never do again
