Gigóia & Tijuca Islands Speedboat Tour
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Ilha da Coroa Marina. There, we'll receive you with a delicious welcome cocktail before boarding the boat that will take us on a tour around Gigóia and Tijuca islands.
Once we are all there, we'll start sailing around Gigóia Island, surrounded by mangroves and gigogas, a floating plant that reproduces by shoots and whose roots help to maintain these ecosystems. Keep an eye out because, if we're lucky, we may be able to spot animals like jacarés and capybaras in their natural habitat.
We'll continue the boat ride, passing by the Quebra-Mar breakwater of Barra da Tijuca to go around the beach of Los Amores. This beautiful place is famous in Rio de Janeiro for its calm and crystalline waters.
Afterward, we'll sail along the extensive beaches of Barra da Tijuca and Joatinga, giving us an excellent opportunity to admire the iconic Pedra da Gávea and all the spectacular beauty of the Rio de Janeiro coastline from a unique perspective.
To end our experience on a high note, we'll sail to the archipelago of the Tijuca Islands. If sea conditions are favorable, we'll stop for about 45 minutes so you can dive into the water and go snorkeling, exploring its spectacular seabed.
Finally, after 2 hours enjoying these wonders, we'll return to the starting point, where we'll bring the experience to an end.
