Definitely recommend if time in Rio is short !!

The Aquarium was very large and very well stocked. The displays and tanks were clean and well maintained. Walking distance from the cruise terminal, and easy to find.

Good option for a rainy day at Rio

Big Aquarium but shorter than expected. It was packed that day and we di it in 40 minutes even when we decided to seat for a while to see the biggest aquarium with the A lot of people. Recommend for a rainy day.

Not Recommended

Our Client's flight was delayed, so they ended up losing these tickets. But what's really not acceptable is that they never let the Client get a refund or reschedule this activity, so they lost it all.

Operator response

Good morning! The platform’s rules allow rescheduling or cancellation up to 24 hours before the attraction. Even so, we review all cases, and refunds or rescheduling are granted in almost 100% of them. Please let me know your reservation code so I can assist you.
