About this experience
About 170 km away from the - Zona Sul - of Rio, I want to guide you to discover Arraial do Cabo. The town is located in the - Lake Region - and is known as - the Caribbean of Brazil - for the crystal clear waters of its sea. It recently saw its Pontal beach in Atalaia awarded as one of the most beautiful in the world. To demonstrate this, I limit myself to quoting the comment that Amerigo Vespucci wrote when he arrived in this region: "if an earthly paradise exists in the world, it must undoubtedly not be very far from these places". I propose a fantastic boat tour during which we will stop to get to know the best points of this paradise, which you really can't miss when coming on holiday to Rio de Janeiro! Attention: the transfer from Rio de Janeiro to Arraial do Cabo will be made by private car, while the boat tour is shared with other tourists. The boat has a capacity of approximately 100 people and is equipped with toilets and a bar with a small restaurant service.

If you don’t want to ride on a bus with a bunch of strangers
So I was worried about one review however I’m going to give you the truth the transportation is private 2 hrs and 15 mins if you’re booked in Copacabana the boat is not private with all that said it was wonderful our driver Marcello was absolutely wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. This tour is a great to get away from Copacabana and relax 😌

Paradise
The best beaches are in Arraial do Cabo. The water is colder. But the beaches are large and with plenty of space for all tourists.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world cost?
+
Prices start at $777 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 Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world?
+
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 Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world?
+
Around 1 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Arraial do Cabo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world 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, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves. 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.
