Best day in Rio!
I had an amazing experience on the Pedra Bonita and Chinese View tour with Alessandra. From start to finish, everything was well organized, relaxed, and enjoyable. Alessandra was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about Rio and its natural beauty. The hike to Pedra Bonita was fantastic, manageable, scenic, and absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views at the top. What really made the experience stand out was Alessandra herself. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, and made the whole tour feel personal rather than rushed or generic. She shared interesting local insights, made sure everyone was comfortable, and created a fun atmosphere throughout.
Response from the operator: Thanks again for trusting us and doing a second hike with us. It is indeed a passion for me to share the beauties of our city from a different perspective, being in contact with nature and making my guests feel confortable, safe, relaxed and having fun! Thanks Scott hope to meet you agian in the near future

I had such a great experience doing the Pedra Bonita hike with Hike in Rio! The whole trip was incredibly well organized, and the views at the top are absolutely stunning. Alli made the experience even better. She’s amazing, super charismatic, and really knows how to keep the group engaged and comfortable the entire time. What I appreciated most is that even though I’m not the most athletic person, I still had such a great time. The hike felt very doable, and Alli made sure everyone could go at their own pace and enjoy it. Overall, it was such a fun and memorable experience — I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio!
Response from the operator: I am very happy to read such a wonderful review. Thanks for taking time to writing all the details and for so many positive points about your day with us! Its very important for us to make everyone feel comfortable, and not rushing the activity. I hope you can come back to Rio soon so we can hike together again!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views cost?
+
Prices start at $81 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 Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views 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 Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views?
+
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 Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views 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 Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views?
+
Around 5 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 Pedra Bonita & Chinese View - easy hike and stunning views 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.
