“We had a wonderful sunset sailing cruise with Dream Destination Rio (ddrio.com) 10 passengers in total (we were the oldest) around Guanabara Bay in Rio! Our crew of 3 included the captain, Apollo, and his helpers, Adriana and Lutetia! We sailed around the bay including getting close to the water’s edge of Sugarloaf Mountain which we had been on the top of only 2 days prior. Of course, we were constantly in view of Christ the Redeemer Statue on top of Corcovado Mountain! Adriana and Lutetia served us drinks and snacks whilst we cruised for 3 hours. We enjoyed chatting to them throughout the cruise learning about life in Rio!…”

Cruise the Iguaçu and Paraná rivers at sunset with dinner, three-country views, bridges, music, and hotel transfers from Foz do Iguaçu.
“The tour guide is just a driver, he did not care about your need. He did not tell us anything about procedure and what to expect from the tour. Once we got to the ship, he disappeared. We had to figure out ourselves that dinner is buffet and where to go. Our guide was busy standing in line to get his own food not even letting us know the time dinner starts. It is not that enjoyable if you have no idea what's going on especially your tour guide suppose to explain things in English. Good thing our phone worked for translation”
