Overall rating

4.1 / 5

based on 36 reviews

It started a little bit later than the original time, got an email changing the pick up time the night before. But operator was on time. Great organization for stops, pick-up, the stop to rest and at the pier and islands. Amazing team on the boat, friendly, fun and overall really good.

Sensational ride. Tortuga boat crew always attentive to our needs. Guia Daniel from the C2Rio Travel agency did his best: he carried the child, helped the elderly, took bags, explained everything in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Lunch was divine! It is worth it

I give 5 stars to C2Rio (guide Adriano and driver Oliveira). But the tour was too late because of the Navy, we had lunch at 5 pm and arrived at our hotel in Copacabana at 9:30 pm. But overall, the tour was great!

Superb trip. Swimming in turquoise water (many snorkels and fish masks) and stops at the various heavenly beaches are respected as well as the very generous meal in the restaurant

Trip was really nice. The beaches and this area are really amazing!
