The Two Brothers Sunrise...
The Two Brothers Sunrise Hike was an absolutely incredible experience and such a beautiful way to start my birthday! Andrew was an amazing tour guide from start to finish. He was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient, especially with my family, as this was their first time hiking. He took the time to make sure everyone felt comfortable, encouraged us along the way, and adjusted to our pace without ever making us feel rushed. His support and attentiveness made the hike enjoyable and stress-free for the whole family. The views were breathtaking, but having such a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide made the experience even more special. I’ll forever cherish this memory and the way I got to start my birthday watching the sunrise over Rio. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rio! ❤️🇧🇷

An Unforgettable 20/10 Experience!
Sunrise hike If I could give this experience a rating out of 10, I would give it a 20/10! If you’re looking for a breathtaking experience, I highly recommend booking with these guys. As an American traveling through Brazil, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They spoke English, were incredibly kind and welcoming and made sure we had nothing but a great time. For the price, the experience you get is truly unbelievable. I’m extremely grateful I had the opportunity to meet Andrew and Henry. Thank you guys again for an amazing experience. you truly made my trip! When I come back to Brazil, I will definitely be booking another trip with you guys. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 134 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 Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike?
+
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 Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike?
+
Around 47 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Two brothers (Dois Irmãos) Hike 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.
