Pedra Bonita Hike and Tour - A+++ highly recommend
The Pedra Bonita hike and tour with Eduardo and Larissa was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Rio! My family (myself, wife, and 8 year old daughter) had an absolute blast and could not have asked for a better tour and for better tour guides. Eduardo and Larissa were truly exceptional from the moment they picked us up from our hotel. They were extremely friendly, knowledgeable about areas, and have trained eyes which allowed us to find and see two types of monkeys, two types of native birds (toucan and another), and even a sloth!!! There were other tour guides coming down the trail who mentioned they had not seen any animals, but we were still able to see so many. The hike while on the easy side compared to other more advanced hikes in Rio will still get your heart rate up a bit but Eduardo took frequent stops to show us things and to look for animals which was perfect. We were blessed with amazing weather and the views are truly magical. We will always remember this tour and would hire Eduardo and Larissa again in a heart beat for our next trip to Rio! Thanks for giving us an amazing experience! Amazing all around!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a special review! It was a great pleasure to welcome you, your wife, and your daughter to Pedra Bonita. Knowing that the tour became one of the highlights of your trip to Rio de Janeiro makes us truly happy. Wildlife watching is one of the parts we love most about our tours, and we were delighted to have been able to see so many animals together: monkeys, toucans, sloths, and other species that make the Tijuca Forest such a unique place. Each sighting is special, and sharing these moments with such friendly families makes the experience even more rewarding for us. We are also very happy to know that the pace of the hike was comfortable for everyone and that you were able to enjoy each stop, each landscape, and each moment of the trail. Thank you for your trust, your company, and your kind words about our work. We hope to welcome you again on a future visit to Rio for new adventures and discoveries in nature. A big hug and see you next time! Eduardo & Larissa RioTrips

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pedra Bonita: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Pedra Bonita: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure 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: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure?
+
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: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure 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: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure?
+
Around 1 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: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure 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: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure?
+
Included: Take photos from your phone to keep as a souvenir of the trip; Entrance fees; In-vehicle air conditioning; Small-Group Guarantee: Intimate experience with a limited number of guests; and Professional Local Guide: English-speaking expert in Tijuca's flora and fauna. Not included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Pedra Bonita: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 31 listed pickup locations in and around Rio de Janeiro. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Pedra Bonita: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure 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 Pedra Bonita: Rio’s Best Views, Nature & Adventure?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
