Very complete tour with a competent guide
The tour was guided by Rafael. Rafael, an ex navy official, has a very complete knowledge of the bay and guided us in a very competent way and with lots of humour. The tour itself was very complete and worth every pence. It lasts 4h and leads you all along old Rio’s bay up to Ipanema beach and the islands off the coast including two stops for swimming.

Book with caution if you do not have a flexible schedule
I did not end up going on this tour. They texted a day before departure and indicated that the tour would need to leave at 10am for the incoming weather. They only gave an option to do the 10am tour which ended up not working with my schedule and did not offer a refund in the message. Book with caution if you do not have a flexible schedule.

Cancelled last minute due to weather conditions out of 24 hours for refund policy..the weather is not my control.
Trip was cancelled due to weather conditions by tour operator. Cancellation by them not me.however, money was paid and taken for the trip.with no information on a refund due to the tour company cancellation. I’ve tried to find out this but unable to access any info at all without going through several means of enquiry instead of it just being refunded instantly why is everything so complicated when you want a refund!! When booking is so simple.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer! cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer! take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 23 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 Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer!?
+
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 Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer!?
+
Around 8 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer! 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 Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer!?
+
Included: Cold beer, water, soda and inflatable floats. Not included: Food is not included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer!?
+
Urca Pier, located opposite the Urca Bar. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer! 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 Rio de Janeiro: Speedboat Tour with Sunset and Beer!?
+
