    Marriage proposal at sea...

    I proposed to her on the boat. The experience was unique. Congratulations to everyone for the attention to detail.

    Incredible day, great service from Thiago, impeccable and spacious boats!

    It was an incredible and memorable day, the boats are new, spacious and cozy, very beautiful for taking photos. Thiago was super attentive and helpful from start to finish, he did our barbecue so we wouldn't have to worry about it and we could enjoy our perfect day, he also gave us the option to stop at one of the islands and have lunch, now we already know what the next stop will be for the next lunch, we are already looking forward to the next one!! Note: they accept pets, I brought my 4-legged daughter and she loved the walk! 😍

    Very bad

    We went on the tour we switched boat ♫ he said that he had 2 bedrooms had and also Giaago did not warn that there would be a wind in the day had a big vendaval the nest case we lived in the boat a small room and tight a vendaval us with a child and an elderly the boat if broke everything and not a moment he warned that the navy had issued alert ♫ we only become aware that had already alerted him because we were landing in the hotel and the staff talked and nois registered for refund I do not indicate

    Response from the operator: Resposta do proprietário Gostaríamos de esclarecer alguns pontos dessa avaliação, pois a situação relatada não apresenta todo o contexto ocorrido. O passeio estava agendado para as 10h, porém a cliente chegou por volta das 11h. Além disso, após a chegada, ela solicitou a troca da embarcação por uma lancha maior, cabinada, com quarto e banheiro. Para atender ao pedido, disponibilizamos uma Coral 29 pés cabinada, com 2 quartos e 1 banheiro. Também houve um atraso significativo por parte da própria cliente, que demorou para ir ao mercado e posteriormente para realizar um saque. Por esse motivo, o passeio acabou iniciando depois do horário originalmente previsto. Em relação ao vento e às condições climáticas, é importante esclarecer que o alerta mencionado era um alerta de abrangência nacional. Naquele momento, a previsão indicava mudança das condições somente a partir das 17h/18h, enquanto o passeio estava programado para terminar às 16h. Fenômenos naturais e mudanças repentinas no tempo infelizmente não estão sob nosso controle. Todos os serviços contratados foram prestados e, mesmo diante de toda essa situação, buscamos resolver da melhor maneira possível e concedemos espontaneamente um desconto de R$ 500 como forma de cortesia. Respeitamos a opinião da cliente, porém consideramos importante apresentar os fatos para que outros usuários possam conhecer também o nosso lado da história. E outra o passeio não foi contratado pela TRIPADVISOR e sim foi contratado em particular!

    Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit cost?

    +

    Prices start at $896 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 Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit?

    +

    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 Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit?

    +

    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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit 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 Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit?

    +

    Included: Mineral water , ice and refrigerator , may include floating water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and SPACIOUS AND CONFORTLY LANCHA. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Rio de Janeiro. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French 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 Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit?

    +

    Is Private Boat VIP Paradise - Grand Island and RIO Transit wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
