2.Sunrise Mirante dona Marta Specialized Guide and Photos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 246 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $88

Watch Rio’s sunrise from Mirante Dona Marta with guide Pessanha, local stories, and polished photos delivered within two days.

“The guide was very friendly. He is actually better known as a photographer than as a guide, but he handled both perfectly. We visited four different locations and were able to change clothes at each one. At every stop, he told us the story of the place and took photos of us. He even let us try a Brazilian breakfast, which I really enjoyed. I just wish I had had more time to enjoy it and get some for myself.”

“We do three excursions with them; the escuna ride in Bombinhas that is made on the beach of the tomb, Isla do Macuco with stop at Playa do Cacao. On both excursions we snorkeled. Our guide was Rodri, super friendly, attentive, both he and his companions. The third excursion was the tour of 10 deserted beaches + waterfall. All were a beautiful experience and it is worth highlighting the punctuality in the schedules and the good attention of the whole team and also Ana who advised us.Auto-translated”

4.Niterói: Paragliding Experience with GoPro Photos and Video

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 131 reviews · 1 hour · from $104

Soar above Niterói with certified instructor Pepê, Rio views, GoPro photos and video, modern safety gear, and flexible booking.

“Highly recommend!! I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday and we both loved it! We had to fly from another place because military closed the airspace there, but it was still very fun and the views were beautiful! Pepe is a great instructor, very friendly and funny. It was so worth the price! You can also pay extra for an insta360 video which is really cool to play with. If you are coming from Rio like us, expect for it to take up half of your day at least.”
