Overpriced and not what I expected. I would max pay $30 a person for this.
This excursion was the worst tour I’ve ever done through Viator and I’ve done a lot. The price seems fine for a zip lining excursion, but this is not a zip lining excursion. This is a hike around the park to 2 view points that ends at an “adventure park” with a few weak activities including 1 short zip line across a the park. Our guide was nice, but his car was stinky. Very disappointing, not worth the money.

Once in a lifetime experience
It was an amazing experience. Got a chance to see some monkeys while hiking. Saw some breathtaking views. The treetop canopy and zip lining was awesome especially for beginners like myself. My guide Junior is the best make sure to recommend him
Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to write this review; it means a lot to us. Cheers! RIO NATURAL ECOTOURISM

Zip lining no good
There was only one zip line that was not longer than 100 feet. It was low to the ground, as if it was made for a youth or child not an adult. The rest of the tour was hiking up a mountain and looking at a view that was OK. They overcharge and it should only been $25 $30 at most.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. The activity was carried out exactly as described, and it is considered an easy-level tour. For travelers looking for more adventure, we have other great options! Feel free to contact us on WhatsApp at +55 21 97224-3879, and we’ll gladly recommend the best experience according to the adventure level you want. RIO NATURAL ECOTOURISM

Ziplining experience is for kids
My tour guide was great however, the zip lining experience was a disappointment. The cost of this excursion was $25 too much🙁

How long does Zip Lining and Canopy Tree Tour in Rio de Janeiro take?

Plan for about 4 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 Zip Lining and Canopy Tree Tour in Rio de Janeiro worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 20 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.

+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zip Lining and Canopy Tree Tour in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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.
