This experience is the first in Brazil to offer this type of snorkeling, towed by a jet ski very slowly, to the point that you don't need to pedal and just enjoy the view. During the experience, you will get to know Rio from a totally different and incredible point of view. In addition to the jet ski tour around the islands, you will be able to jump from the island into the water at heights that vary according to the client's taste, and the big difference is to do a unique tow snorkeling in Rio de Janeiro. Wearing the mask, you will be towed by the jet ski with your face in the water, observing the marine life on the island.

    Tijuca islands

    It was an amazing experience and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the marine life/islands. The tour was flexible and customizable based on how you want to spent your time (eg. Jetski, relax, snorkel, swim, etc.)

    The tour guide was...

    The tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable on many of the bird species and marine life that occupied the islands. He was able to inform me about the rock erosion and history of Rio de Janeiro’s neighborhoods. The views were amazing and the tour was adaptable to whatever I wanted to see/do.

    Great flexible tour on the jet ski

    We had a great experience. Our guide was super flexible and we tweaked things around based on the water conditions - a little more touring and seeing turtles on the surface. He also set us up with another boat operator to go see me some of the birds and crocodiles in the area. The only thing to be aware of is that this is a long ways away from the tourist areas around Copacabana, etc.

    Had a great time and the tour guide was awesome!

    My friend and I had such a fun time! JD was a very knowledgeable, experienced, and kind guide. While snorkeling we got to see turtles, fish, and birds on the island. The weather was cloudy but we made the best out of it and had a great time, JD even recommended some local food places to try out and they were amazing!

    2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands cost?

    +

    Prices start at $141 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.

    Is 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands?

    +

    Included: Use of snorkeling equipment; and LifeJacket. Not included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for 2 Hour Jet Ski Ride and Tow Snorkeling in Tijuca Islands?

    +

    At the agreed time I will be there with the jetski waiting for guests to start the tour. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
