Reliable and professional service
I had an excellent experience with Paraty Tours during my recent trip to Brazil. From the beginning, Flavia was extremely responsive, kind, and professional in arranging everything for us. The vehicles provided were very clean, spacious, and comfortable, which made our long journeys very pleasant and relaxing. Both drivers were friendly, punctual, and highly professional throughout the trip. A very special mention to our driver from Paraty to São Paulo — his driving skills were exceptional. We felt safe and comfortable the entire journey, even on the long drive. His professionalism and careful driving truly stood out. Thank you, Flavia and the entire Paraty Tours team, for making our trip such a smooth and memorable experience. I highly recommend Paraty Tours to anyone visiting Brazil and looking for reliable, comfortable, and professional transportation services. ❤️
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the waterfalls and had a good time with our guides. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the jeep ride. As these are off-road vehicles operating on mountain roads, diesel engines are commonly used for this type of tour, but we completely understand your observation and how seating position can make a difference during the ride. Thank you as well for the helpful tip about arriving a little earlier to choose your preferred seat. We truly hope to welcome you back to Paraty Tours for more experiences in Paraty!

From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 18 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 From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande?
+
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 From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande?
+
Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Rio de Janeiro: Shuttle Transfer to Ilha Grande 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.
