          Amazing hike
          It was a very fun journey with a great guide, not made for everybody though. Take good shoes with you and make sure you are not too afraid of heights

          Best climbing trip!
          If I could give 10 stars, I would! Marius and Jesse were incredible! They made the whole hike and climb incredibly enjoyable and helped us out so much! Marius was very informative with facts and great information about rio and the mountain/nature around us and was so helpful with getting us up safely while also enjoying the day! Jesse was an amazing addition to the trip as well and made such a difference for us when getting up the mountain. I will recommend Marius and Jesse to everyone coming to Rio!

          Nature day with flora and fauna
          Love nature. I saw a lot of variety of trees and plants. Also a couple of cute animals during the hike. Lucas is a good tour guide and good photographer too. He knows where to hike and very much experience with the hike and where to take a good pictures spot. Keep on looking after all of us. Overall I did enjoy the tour and hike. Highly recommended.

          Great tour but book option without lunch.
          The tour was very good and very fun. The choice of restaurant for the lunch included was not good. The food was not fresh and it was a buffet style. Everything else was fine.

          Fantastic meaningful experience
          Sergio was a fantastic guide. He was very informative, kind and interesting. He is passionate about the forest and has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife But most of all he was incredibly supportive and calm in dealing with my fear of heights. I am very thankful and feel that I learned a lot about dealing with fear.

          Simply the Best!!
          Rafael was the ABSOLUTE best tour guide! He was patient and personable. We learned so much about the national park and Brazil. It was a tough hike, but it was excellent! We did the early morning hike, which I’d highly recommend as it gets crowded by noon. Two of the three waterfalls we had all to ourselves!!

          Best way to see Sugarloaf
          Sergio gave us a great experience climbing Sugarloaf mountain. He gave us loads of interesting facts about Sugarloaf’s history and about Brazil more generally on the way. He gave us options for what we wanted to do on the day depending on how intense you wanted it to be and was clearly very experienced. All of the equipment was really good quality and we felt confident in his skills. The cherry on top was the great photos Sergio took on the way! Thanks for an awesome experience!

          Spectacular Tour
          This was a spectacular tour. Apart from the scenery and the serenity of the waterfall, tour guide Rafael was the best. Being older and less fit, he was increasingly attentive and caring of me, nothing was too much as he supported me on the hike, he took photos for me as well. This was my last tour on this vacation and Rafael made it the BEST ONE. He was knowledgeable, funny, great company and caring, Rafael you were the best !!

          Just Ok
          I booked this trip based on the TripAdvisor reviews. I was sceptical about booking with this company but as they don't charge a single supplement I took a chance with them. With hindsight I probably would have booked with another company. So the good points Pedra da Gávea is probably the best hike to do in Rio. Rabbling down the rock was great fun and the quality of the photos taken by the guide (Lucas) was super. It is a challenging hike but very manageable too, albeit a good level of fitness is required. Their are other companies that do all of the above too fyi. I booked an English speaking tour. As their was only two booked on the English tour we were algimated with the Spanish speaking tour so the tour essentially became a Spanish speaking tour. The company has "form" in doing such a thing from reading other reviews here. The guide didn't have a good level of English in my opinion so other people on the tour had to translate to English. Given their is a bit of technical climbing involved I was a bit uncomfortable by that if a problem was to arise. That said I really did enjoy the trek primarily because Pedra da Gávea is so good but the company didn't add a whole lot to the experience imho.

          Highlight of our trip
          I went with a group of avid hikers and this was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Sergio, took great care of us and provided a lot of interesting history of the area. The views were incredible. The weather was perfect and the trails were well kept. Definitely would recommend to anyone

        La escursion que sale de río es a Angra e isla grande. Angra solo lo ves de paso hasta que llegas al puerto. Embarcas hacia isla grande una parada para tirarte al agua cerca de una isla a la cual no podés ir. Después te llevan a Laguna azul donde hay muchos pescaditos y mucha basura. Después a una playita que el agua está llena de aceite de los motores de los barcos y por último a otra playita a comer a un buffet libre. El lugar para comer realmente deprimente un galpón con mesas en la arena como para 200 personas. Te sientas y te enterras. Una mesa con muy poca comida para tanta cantidad de gente y te arrancan la cabeza con la bebida.
        Párrafo aparte el barco que nos tocó "Arpoardor" súper aburrido, mala música, mala animación y lo único que querían era que compremos caipirinha para pasar el frío. Si tengo que recomendar un lugar vayan a Arraial do Cabo, mil veces mejor.

        Angra dos Reis es un maravilloso recorrido donde puedes bucear con peces, visitar hermosas playas y disfrutar de un maravilloso almuerzo. Angra está a unos 170 km de distancia, lo que termina tardando mucho en ir y venir. ¡Pero vale la pena cada segundo porque el lugar es impresionante! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Angra dos Reis é um tour maravilhoso, onde você pode mergulhar com peixes, visitar praias lindas e comer um almoço maravilhoso!

        Le ramassage au point de RDV était à 8h30. Le bus est arrivé à 9h45, entre temps nous avons appelé deux fois l’agence :
        - vers 9h, l’agence nous a dit que le bus arriverait dans 5 minutes (et c’était faux).
        - la deuxième fois, l’agence nous a dit que le bus avait eu un accident.
        A peine dans le bus, 5 minutes après être parti, il s’arrête. Nous étions garé sur le côté d’une grande route à 3 voies, il y avait du trafic c’était vraiment dangereux.
        PERSONNE ne parlait anglais, la personne qui accompagnait nous a dit que quelqu’un à l’arrivé parlerait anglais et ce n’était pas le cas. Il y a déjà une erreur sur l’excursion puisque nous avions choisi un tour en anglais.
        Nous avons attendu un peu plus d’une heure au bord de la route sans comprendre ce qu’il se passait. La personne qui s’occupait de l’excursion n’avait pas l’air inquiète de la situation.
        Après plus de 2h30 de retard, nous avons eu un autre bus. Le conducteur avait une conduite très dangereuse avec de forts coups de frein.
        Nous sommes arrivés à 13h30 sur les lieux pour rejoindre le bateau. Le soleil se couchant vers 16h30/17h, la journée était déjà bien commencée !!
        Nous avons fait 3 arrêts en mer.
        Pour le premier, un membre de l’équipage s’est blessé au bras. La promenade en bateau venait de commencer et il y avait encore un problème !
        Pour le dernier arrêt c’était sur une plage mais il faisait déjà nuit donc il n’y avait pas vraiment d’intérêt.
        L’organisation est à revoir, nous nous sommes vraiment senties en danger! C’est vraiment une honte de payer 76 euros par personne pour au final faire 3 arrêts en mer dont 1 de nuit et les deux autres avec un arrêt de 40 minutes et avec plus de 2h30 de retard sur le circuit prévu !!!!!

        Excursion à fuir, aucun professionnalisme, nous nous sommes senties vraiment en danger. Un vrai cauchemar .....

        Bonjour Clémence, Tout d'abord, nous aimerions vous remercier pour vos commentaires, car ce n'est qu'avec eux que nous pouvons nous développer en tant qu'entreprise et améliorer notre gestion de crise. En ce qui concerne cet événement malheureux, il était très important pour nous d’entendre des détails sur ce qui se passait et grâce à cela, nous pouvions déjà améliorer nos services. Nous regrettons profondément les problèmes causés par notre guide et nous en sommes sans aucun doute embarrassés, non seulement à cause du stress et de la tristesse que nous avons causés, mais aussi parce que nous avons l'habitude de donner de grandes expériences à nos clients. Malheureusement, dans certains cas, des erreurs se produisent et nous reconnaissons les nôtres. Au nom de tous les membres de l’entreprise, nous nous excusons pour l’horrible expérience que nous avons vécue et finissons par endommager non seulement notre image, mais aussi celle de notre ville. Nous sommes vraiment désolés que vous n'ayez pas l'expérience que vous attendiez. Nous espérons que vous nous donnerez une autre chance et nous sommes sûrs que nous pouvons changer votre conception de notre société et de nos services. Cordialement, Nattrip.

        Absolut nicht weiter zu empfehlen. In der Beschreibung stand „Dauer der Altivität: 12 Stunden. Insgesamt ging sie jedoch 16 stunden, von denen wir 10 im Bus verbracht haben, da erstmal 35 Hotels angefahren werden mussten um alle Teilnehmer einzusammeln. Das Boot war relativ überfüllt und die Stops waren ziemlich kurz nicht sonderlich spektakulär.
        Das angekündigte Mittagessen gab es erst um 17 Uhr.
        Der Guide war zwar sehr nett und hat alles gut auf Englisch übersetzt aber grundsätzlich bestand der Trip aus viel zu viel Fahrerei für zu wenig Sehenswertem

        Espetacular passeio na ilha grande. Conseguimos conhecer a famosa lagoa azul, mergulhar de snorkel e pra completar o dia estava lindo, fazendo com que tudo fosse perfeito. Eu e a minha esposa indicamos demais a Agência, foi impecável e cumpriu com tudo que foi oferecido. Com certeza faremos outros passeios com a Nattrip.

        Mit reichlich Verspätung wurden wir mit einem Taxi ( vom hotel ) zum Car gefahren, weil Sie angeblich einen Fehler gemacht haben um uns abzuholen. Im Bus angekommen sahen wir Gäste aus dem gleichen Hotel, sehr ärgerlich. Die Tour war überfüllt hatte kaum Platz auf dem Boot. Wir buchten die Tour auf Englisch doch niemand sprach richtig in Englisch! Die Stops waren überfüllt, langweilig und viel zu kurz. Die Sicherheit ist auch zu bemängeln. Eigentlich sollten wir um 20.30 Uhr im Hotel zurück sein, kamen aber erst um 23.00 an. WIR HABEN KEINE GUTE ERINNERUNG AN DIESE TOUR, EMPFEHLEN SIE AUCH NICHT WEITER!!
