About This Tour

Watch an unforgettable Rio de Janeiro sunset on a three-hour speedboat cruise across Guanabara Bay. Enjoy privileged views of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain and other famous landmarks while relaxing aboard a modern, fully equipped boat.

This experience is ideal for travelers from the United States, Canada and around the world who want to see Rio from a different perspective. The cruise includes snacks, drinks, insurance and a refreshing swimming stop at Adão e Eva Beach.

Operated by C2Rio Tours & Travel, the experience begins at Marina da Glória, where you will board a modern speedboat. This is a shared excursion for groups of up to 11 passengers, making it an excellent choice for couples, families and groups of friends.

After leaving the marina, cruise past some of the most recognizable sights around Guanabara Bay. From the water, admire the Museum of Tomorrow, one of the leading architectural landmarks of Porto Maravilha.

Along the route, see Villegagnon Island, Santos Dumont Airport and historic Fiscal Island, known as the location of the last major ball held by the Brazilian Empire.

The cruise continues toward Niterói, offering a privileged view of the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum. Designed by renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, its distinctive circular shape makes it one of the bay’s most photographed buildings.

The next scheduled stop is Adão e Eva Beach, where maritime conditions permitting, you will have time to enjoy a refreshing swim. Noodle-style flotation devices are available aboard the boat for additional comfort in the water.

As the sun begins to descend, the speedboat will seek a suitable position for viewing the horizon. The sky, sea and surrounding mountains become filled with warm golden colors, while famous Rio landmarks such as Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain create a memorable background.

On the return journey, cruise past Urca and Flamengo Beach, enjoying beautiful views of the city in the late-afternoon light before disembarking at Marina da Glória.

With snacks, drinks, insurance and a well-equipped vessel included, this sunset cruise offers a relaxing and memorable way to experience the beauty of Rio de Janeiro from the water.

Luciana Bianchi

El atardecer desde la lancha fue realmente hermoso. Tuvimos unas vistas increíbles del Pan de Azúcar y el ambiente a bordo fue muy relajado. Recomiendo llevar toalla para la parada de baño.

Diego (Argentina)

Una experiencia diferente para conocer Río desde el agua. La lancha estaba muy bien equipada y el grupo era pequeño. Las bebidas y los aperitivos fueron un buen detalle.

Dniela Aguirre

La parada para bañarnos fue muy agradable y el recorrido permite sacar fotos espectaculares. Hay que llegar por cuenta propia a la marina, pero fue fácil encontrarla y la experiencia valió mucho la pena.

Madison Parker

The sunset from the boat was absolutely beautiful. We had amazing views of Sugarloaf Mountain, and the atmosphere aboard was very relaxed. I recommend bringing a towel for the swimming stop.
