Barra da Tijuca & Gigóia Island Tour
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel to start this tour of Barra da Tijuca, one of the most atmospheric neighbourhoods in Rio de Janeiro. Are you ready to fall in love with the beautiful beaches of Rio de Janeiro?
We'll start our route by visiting Quebra Mar, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Then, we'll continue to Praia do Pepê, known for its long stretch of sandy beach and energetic atmosphere. This beach is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. Here, you'll have 40 minutes of free time to swim, sunbathe, stroll along the sea or simply admire the scenery.
Afterwards, we'll head to Praia dos Amores, a beach framed by steep cliffs and famous for its crystal-clear waters and tranquil atmosphere. Once again, you'll have time to take a refreshing dip in the sea and relax.
Next, we'll hop on a boat and in less than 5 minutes we'll reach the island of Gigóia. Once there, you'll enjoy this haven of lush vegetation, where you can swim in the gentle waves and stroll through the narrow, charming streets. With its relaxed atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings, Gigóia offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining and an immersion in the beauty of Rio de Janeiro's coastal scenery.
Finally, we'll return to your hotel 3 hours after pickup.
