Great views, great guide!
This was a great experience! Not only did we go on an amazing hike, but also got to see a few other places in the forest, including waterfalls and a cave. Felipe was a fantastic guide speaking great English, going at our pace, taking tons of photos and making sure to point out animals and other points of interest. The views were amazing and he made sure this was super easy and convenient for us. I’d recommend this trip to anyone wanting to do a hike!

Pedra Bonita Hiking with the Best Guide
I had a wonderful experience, the guide was punctual, with fluent English, great local knowledge about fauna and flora. We climbed in 40 minutes, the summit is beautiful, it is possible to see the beaches of the west zone and also the countless mountains and forests of the wonderful city. At the end of the Tour I visited the hang gliding ramp and did a tandem flight with a super experienced pilot, thank you very much Felipe for the unforgettable experience, I recommend it 100%!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pedra Bonita Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Pedra Bonita Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro?
+
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 Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pedra Bonita Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro?
+
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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pedra Bonita Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro 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 Pedra Bonita Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro?
+

Does Pedra Bonita Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Pedra Bonita Hiking Tour - Tijuca National Park - Rio de Janeiro offered in?
+
