2 VIP Experiences in Rio de Janeiro to Build a Day Around

1.Private VIP Paradise Ilha Grande Speed Boat and Transfer from Rio

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 51 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) Our pick

Review of a private Ilha Grande speedboat tour from Rio, with six beach stops, snorkeling, hotel transfer, lunch advice, and honest costs.

“Great day exploring 6 different beaches on the big island! Romeo our guide spoke English very well over a multitude of topics and was well engaged with us throughout the day. It’s a solid two hours each way from Copacabana but worth the trip because of the beauty of the islands. The speedboat was well equipped including an awning. Lunch though additional was excellent. It was great to avoid the crowds. Highly recommend!”

See Christ the Redeemer by train, ride Sugarloaf’s cable cars, tour Rio’s center, and enjoy a full churrascaria lunch in nine hours.

“An excellent way to visit the key sights in Rio. Lots of time both at top of Sugar Loaf and at Christ the Redeemer with our excellent guide Aldo. Lunch was superb - a huge and varied salad bar plus endless portions of meat brought to the table. Small group and very friendly.”
