Itinerary

See Rio from the sea on the Guanabara Bay Cruise from Rio de Janeiro. This cruise is available with or without lunch.

Guanabara Bay Cruise with Lunch:
At the start of the half-day excursion, you will be picked up from your hotel in a coach at a time pre-arranged with the activity operator. An English-speaking guide will accompany you.

You will be driven to Marina DA Gloria where you will board a cruise boat for your trip around the Bay.

Relax and look around you as magnificent panoramas unfold along the shoreline. Guanabara is the world’s largest bay in terms of volume of water. It has several islands – the Governor’s Island, Fundão and Snakes Island.

See the city spread out along the coast, backed by forested mountains. Pick out the unmistakeable silhouette of the Sugar Loaf and the massive hump of Corcovado topped by the great statue of Christ Redeemer. View the historic buildings and the many different neighborhoods of the metropolis – Botafogo, Flamengo, Urca, Fort São Joao, Flagstone Island, Santa Cruz Fortress, and Rio- Niteroi Bridge.

After the cruise, you will be taken to enjoy a seafood lunch. Your lunch will include two courses. The entrée is either Crab Cake or Salad and the main course is either Fettuccine with Pomodoro or Fish with Shrimp Sauce and Risotto. Dessert is payable direct.

At the end of the excursion, you will be dropped back at the starting point.

Guanabara Bay Cruise Only:
This option is just the same as the one above except that the lunch is not included. At the end of the trip, you will be dropped back at your hotel or at the cruise port.
