Tijuca Islands Snorkeling & Whale Watching Boat Tour from Rio
Overview
Choose between two unique ocean experiences in Rio de Janeiro, each offering something completely different and unforgettable.
Our snorkeling tour takes you by speedboat from Barra da Tijuca to the beautiful Tijuca Islands. In a small group, you’ll enjoy a few stops in clear waters to swim and snorkel, with chances to see sea turtles, colorful fish, rays, and more — all with stunning coastal views around you.
Prefer something truly special? Our whale watching tour (available June to August) is a seasonal adventure focused on spotting humpback whales as they migrate along Rio’s coast. Witnessing these giants in the wild is a rare and powerful experience.
Whether underwater exploration or wildlife encounters, you’ll enjoy a more personal, authentic side of Rio at sea.
