Rio de Janeiro: Sunset Sailing Tour

1.Sunset Sailing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 994 reviews · 3 hours · from $75Our pick

Review of Rio’s 3-hour sunset sail, with Guanabara Bay views, small groups, swimming, caipirinhas, snacks, and practical booking advice.

“The sailing trip was wonderful! And the reason for that is Clarissa made it fabulous for us! She communicated with us when we had delayed flights and arranged for us to take the sail a couple of days later. We were thrilled as we were really excited about the sailing experience in Rio. The boat was very nice. The captain was great. We can’t even express how much we enjoyed the sail. Drinks, appetizers and a fabulous first mate. Love, love, loved it. We highly recommend it!!”

We technically saw everything we were promised eventually but had to run through the last two stops and it was not enjoyable at all. For the cost of the tour I felt like we should’ve been refunded for the experience.”

Sail Guanabara Bay at sunset with Rio views, caipirinhas, snacks, swimming, and a friendly English-speaking crew.

“Fascinating! We enjoyed it, so much fun 🌅 They served drinks all over the trip and we got snacks as well. Thanks to Gabriel, Bruno, Daniel and Chloe, you were awesome!!! We sailed to the great beach and anchored close-by and swam a lot. Daniel showed his best tricks 😁 They gave us towels. My advice is to go to the front of the boat, best view and convenient spots. p.s. you don’t need to take a spare shoes and passport. You ll be barefoot on the boat.”
