Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach cost?
+
Prices start at $210 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 Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach 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 Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach 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 Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach?
+
Around 0 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 Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach 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 Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach?
+
Included: Private transportation; and Accredited tour guide. Not included: Lunch; Boat tickets to/from island; and Extras. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 139 listed pickup locations in and around Rio de Janeiro. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ilha Grande Hiking Tour – Lopes Mendes beach?
+
