Spend a few hours beachfront eating appetizers and having delicious caipirinhas sold at kiosks in the region. Head out for swims and lounge around on the sand to get a tan. Unlike the beaches in the south of Rio such as Copacabana and Ipanema that have greater visibility, the exuberant beach of Prainha are free of high-rise buildings, protected by the hills and rocks that surround it and covered by the abundant vegetation of the native Atlantic Forest.

Have a fantastic lunch at a naturally rustic seafood restaurant set in a tree house in the rainforest. The scenery over the sandbank fills the eyes, seeing the mangrove with its islets of abundant vegetation and beach views as far as the eye can see.

Praia de Grumari
Spend some time at another beautiful beach nearby. Grumari Beach is one of those beaches that is still a real tip and it’s not well known by tourists. Here, you can enjoy peace and tranquility surrounded by hills and the deep green of the Atlantic Forest. The fine sand along the 3-kilometer-long beach is slightly darker, which, combined with the wild landscape, creates a stunning backdrop for this day trip.

Excellent trip for a relaxing day outside Rio de Janeiro City.
I recommend this tour if you want to relax while you enjoy a fantastic day on a beatiful beach just outside Rio City. We were picked up by Rodrigo (driver) and Bruno (the guide). We stopped at the Leblon Mirante, where Bruno explained everything about landscape and the itinerary. The plan was to get to Prainha and Grumari Beach though the coast line, have lunch, and come back through the city road, stopping at the Olimpic Venue and posibly at a Cachaca Factory. During the road trip to Grumari beach, we had such a nice view of the amazing beaches alongside the coastline, and the ocean. Bruno told us about the landmarks and the city. He is such a nice and polite guys, we had a lot of fun with him. We did not stop on Prainha beach, it was too crowded. We spend the day on Grumari Beach. Bruno gave us the option to stayed longer and we loved the idea, even though we knew we were compromising other stops we planed to make. We are gratefull to Gregtur for letting us adjust the trip to our needs. We had lunch at Tropicana Restaurant, the food was delicious (vegan option available). The terrace overlooks a Manglar and you could see crabs walking all over the place. It was fantastic. We got home safe and sound thanks to Rodrigo, who is an excellent driver and such a nice and funny guy. The van was spotless, fully equiped with air-condicionate and snacks. Renato, was the organizer of the trip. He contacted us as soon as we booked the trip and made sure everything and smoothly.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing the detailed feedback about the trip to Prainha & Grumari! It is great reading about what enjoyed in the company of our Bruno & Rodrigo! I will share the comments with our team- they will appreciate reading such positive words during this difficult pandemic time! 😎 Hope you are staying healthy and looking forward to your next journey with us! 😉 Best regards, Gregtur Team

Private Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Private Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others cost?
+
Prices start at $256 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 Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others?
+
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 Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Rio’s Top Wildest Beaches Of Prainha, Grumari & Others 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.
