Great boat trip around the Rio bay area!

Had a great tour with Roma around 2 different swimming spots around the Rio Bay Area. Also got to see the beautiful sights of Rio from the water. The staff were very kind and accommodating, always asking if we wanted more food and drinks. Special thanks to Rico who went above and beyond to make great caipirinhas and BBQ through the whole trip! I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!

Relaxing trip around the Rio Bay

Sergio and his team were very welcoming and started the trip with information and history of the areas we would visit. The boat and facilities were clean and working without issues. We had plenty of opportunities to take pictures and record video between all the Rio bay landmarks. The snacks, grilled meats, and drinks provided were delicious and on par with a sit-down establishment. We would definitely book a trip with Sergio when we come back!
