Sunset Cruise
This was an excellent experience. Especially seeing Christ The Redeemer and Sugar Loaf from the water. I would definitely recommend this tour. Also the guide was amazing and they have good drinks and appetizers.

Incredible Sailing Experience
Great experience. Clarissa Rates made us all feel like family. I was a bit unsure as I traveled by myself and wasn’t sure how I would be received or what to expect. Clarissa made us all feel welcomed and I ended up making new friends. The entire experience from the drinks, music and vibe just made this an experience to remember and a real highlight of my time in Rio. Thanks again to Clarissa and the crew. It was an awesome experience!

Incredible tour worth every penny
I don’t ever write reviews, but this trip deserves it. The Rio De Janeiro Sunset Sailing Tour with Drinks was absolutely phenomenal. From the views, to the bottomless drinks, and the incredible staff everything was amazing. Claire was our head staff and she is one of the kindest humans I’ve ever met. If you are visiting Brazil and have the opportunity to do this tour do not hesitate. I was traveling with two of my other friends and they didn’t really want to do this tour, but I convinced them and at the end they said it was one of their top experiences of our whole two week trip. This tour was worth every penny and for all of the snacks and drinks you get it’s super reasonable as well.

Relaxing water excursion
This was a lovely excursion with beautiful views. Our guides and staff were friendly and helpful. The weather did not cooperate fully, and we faced some precipitation challenges, but that didn't stop the staff from making the best of things. We still enjoyed delicious drinks, snacks, and music aboard. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon on the water.

Great Experience
We had a great trip . The guide Karina was very helpful with instructions for the meeting point .The information shared during the trip was good and the sailing was smooth. There were a few wind bumps. The snacks were healthy snacks and the fresh fruit to end the trip was delicious. Drinks were good too . A fun experience and nice way to spend an evening on the water . Crowd size was perfect.
