Rio From the Sea: Guanabara Bay Cruise with Optional Barbecue Lunch

After pickup from your Rio hotel, travel to the launch point to board your boat. Set sail from Rio's urban shores to explore the vistas from the water, including different views of the Christ the Redeemer statue, Copacabana Beach, and Sugarloaf Mountain.

View the historic neighborhoods of Botafogo, Urca, and Flamengo as you sail by Flagstone Island. Cruise under the Rio-Niteroi Bridge and see the beaches of Niteroi, as well as Fortaleza São João and Fortaleza Santa Cruz.

End your half-day cruise here or upgrade to include an authentic Brazilian barbecue lunch at a local Rio restaurant including multiple options of sides and different cuts of meat as well as vegetarian options.

Escape the crowds on land and see Rio from a different perspective during a cruise on Guanabara Bay. Depending on your budget, you can upgrade to include a traditional Brazilian barbecue lunch at the end of your cruise. Plus, the short duration of this sail makes it ideal for time-pressed travelers.
