Awesome
This tour was awesome. Our guide was very punctual, friendly and patient as we stopped to catch our breath a few times. I didn’t realize our guide would also take pics of us on his phone and ours. At the Rock, there’s a photographer to take professional pics for a small fee. But our guide had MUCH better photos by far!!! I highly recommend. It’s a nice moderate hike with beautiful scenic stops along the way. Afterwards we visited some other nice beaches along the way and our guide stopped so we could have pastels at a food stand with the locals. One of our best days in Rio.
Response from the operator: Hello There! Thank you so much for your feedback! It was our pleasure to show you the beautiful coastline of Rio with an amazing hike and panoramic views! Always count on us for an upcoming adventure!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pedra do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Pedra do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock) cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock) take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock)?
+
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 do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pedra do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock)?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pedra do Telegrafo Hiking Tour - (Telegraph's Rock) 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.
