About this experience

Paquetá is the perfect island to find peace and tranquility. Located in the Guanabara Bay, the Ilha de Paquetá, is a great place to escape from the city for a few hours. Starting with hotel pickup, we take you to Praça XV to pickup the ferry to Paquetá. Enjoy the ferryboat ride in the Guanabara Bay and admire the city view. There are no cars in the island and to go from place to place, you must walk or rent a bicycle (available for rent on location). The tour guide will take you to the best locations in town. The beautiful colonial buildings, the green hills, the colorful fishing boats and the quiet beaches all around will conquer your heart. Around lunch time, we can stop at one of the many traditional restaurants. At the end, we take the ferryboat back to Rio and take you back to your hotel.

Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up cost?

+

Prices start at $35 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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up take?

+

Plan for about 5 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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up?

+

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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up?

+

Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Full-Day Guided Tour of Ilha de Paquetá with Pick Up 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 Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. 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.
