About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 733giannaa0 contributionsGreat tour with great guide highly recommend!!!Didi was great and very patient with us as it was our first time rock climbing. We had so much fun and his english was amazing. He had great conversations and learned alot about Brazil. The tour itself was hard but well worth all the effort but it was definatly difficult not much trail more climbing the mountain on rocks although we felt very safe with Didi by our side! It was rewarding exciting and beautiful views. Much better than taking the cable cars. I highly recommend!Written January 7, 2025
- swaygood330 contributionsCould not recommend more highlyAwesome experience trekking Serra dos Orgaos with Weber. I booked it having done Isla Grande with Raffael which I also could not recommend more highly. Both guides superb. Nothing too much trouble. The latter has absolutely beautiful unspoiled beaches with some nice woodland tracks between (and a fun speedboat trip). The former has stunning views and some very interesting forest walks. Both were relatively quiet and free of other people. I recommend an early start. Neither challenging walks.Written October 3, 2024
- FellowTraveler5775880 contributionsBeautiful hike with RafaelWe went on this Hike with Rafael. He was so knowledgeable about the forest and the entire city of Rio. It was an honour to be shown this area by him! He took some lovely pictures of us too and taught us loads We highly recommend booking this trip. The hike itself is moderate and beautiful the whole way.Written June 24, 2024
- DarkBowser0 contributionsExcellent Tour OperatorI've actually done numerous tours with these guys, some this month, and even some from several years ago and I have greatly enjoyed each one. I've had other tour operators in the past that don't like to do hotel pick up and drop off and so I value ones, like RioXtreme, that do. Plus, they have a fun and memorable name. They have a good variety of different activities with amazing scenery and difficulty levels. I have had no complaints in the different tours I've done with them over the years and if I ever find myself in Rio, I'll definitely be booking tours with these guys again!Written May 31, 2024
- annieinlondon880 contributionsBest tour we have done this trip!What a fantastic tour! The admin team were prompt, informative and responsive with every question I had prior to the tour and really helpful in picking the best day as the weather has been a bit patchy this week. Bernardo our guide arrived very promptly to pick us up and immediately put us at ease with his friendly manner and calm demeanour. He was a safe, but efficient driver, getting us to the park a moment before opening so we could be the first ones in. The trail itself is a great way to get up the the Christ Redeemer statue. We saw many birds and a mini capybara (I can’t remember the proper name). Bernardo kept up a comfortable pace, giving us lots of information and stopping at appropriate spots for breaks. The statue was very crowded but he helped us get some great photos and pointed out landmarks around the viewpoint which was very interesting. We also saw monkeys with their babies on their backs! After the walk back down, he took us around the park a little as well and we got to see the school of art and a temporary exhibit too! I would definitely recommend this tour!! I would say you need to be relatively fit, by the end we had walked 22,000 steps and climbed 157 flights of stairs according to my phone. Thanks again Bernardo for a wonderful tour.Written May 28, 2024

- y0ungkeun00 contributionsGreat HikeI loved the hike. The views were excellent, and I got to see a lot of interesting wildlife on the way, including several monkeys and a toucan. On top of that, my guide was great. He was fun to talk to and was really informative both about the type of wildlife native to the area and the history of the Christ the Redeemer statue.Written January 21, 2024
- Jeuel V0 contributionsRich wildlife hike with a top class guideThe park is a dense rainforest which is stunning and rich with wildlife. Weber is 10/10… he made sure we saw all of the scenic views, we moved at our pace… overall he is top class! Would highly recommend!!!Written November 18, 2023
- nobles4660 contributionsIncredible hike with stunning views!This hike was so great. Our tour guide Weber picked us up at the hotel, and took care of everything. The hike was a CHALLENGE, but was super rewarding at the end. I was in AWE of the view and the accomplishment we achieved. The rock climbing section was a fun challenge and again both up and down our guide had everything handled. 10/10, would do again!Written September 25, 2023
- Jensenerin0 contributionsSuch a great experience!We had the best experience on this hike, it’s was so beautiful and fun. Our guide, Jamir, was awesome. He was so helpful, kind and skilled. Rio extreme was super responsive to every email we sent, helped us change our date due to weather etc. they were a great company to work with.

- connieh7350 contributionsAn unforgettable trip, with a wonderful guide.Hiking up through the Tijuca Forest was fabulous, especially because my wonderful guide, Rafael, knew the names of so many trees, plants, birds, animals, etc. And such a nice guy - very supportive and helpful in every way! The views from the top were spectacular, particularly the places we stopped along the way to enjoy the scenery without the crowds.Written September 10, 2022
- LP d0 contributionsSurf in Rio de JaneiroI never thought that surfing would be a fun experience. I had a great time learning this sport. My instructor, Luiz from Aula Surf Andre Lopes was very professional and helped me to improve my balance on the surf table. Very easy to follow instructions. Recommended!!!Written August 4, 2022
- Brent C K0 contributionsGreat hike with breathtaking viewWe had a great experience with Bernardo at the two brothers hike! The hike is very safe and has the best view I have ever seen. The trail is slightly steep and if you are in decent shape you will make it up quickly. The final part isn’t scary and it is easy to take incredible photos without having to actually be close to the edge. This is a great alternative to those who want to see an amazing but don’t want to do technical climbing of Pedra Gavea. We also got to walk through the Favela and see the local life there and that was also quite an experience. Thanks everyone at RioXtreme for this amazing activity 👍Written May 25, 2022
- Sergio B0 contributionsPhenomenal Tour and Top Notch ServiceI did the Sugar Loaf hike tour with Weber and it was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and ready to help whenever the path got more technical. I highly recommend them, and will be doing other tours with them next time I'm in Rio.Written April 7, 2022

Bruno was very accommodating and knowledgeable in the forest & park. We had a group of mixed nationalities but we were lucky & thankful that Bruno spoke in English. We could have stayed longer in the park but the timing of the tour did not allow - 4 hours is not enough. It wasn’t clear if we needed swimsuits so we chose not to take them and missed the opportunity to stand under a waterfall. We didn’t get to see the wildlife we wanted (not Bruno’s fault; he looked for monkeys).

I did this hike and a whitewater rafting trip and both were great experiences. The guide was great and provided transportation on time. It was a lot of fun and for a good price! I would definitely do another activity with Rio Xtreme if I ever find myself in the Rio area again!
PS: I also went before the time it says, but that is the earliest it allowed me to select.

We had an incredible experience hiking up Tijuca’s Peak! The trail is a shaded route through the rain forest for most of the hike, before finishing the last bit of the hike in an open area that provides incredible views of Rio and the surrounding areas. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and set a perfect pace for the hike. We’d highly recommend!

Rafael was an awesome guide, spoke English very well and was very informative. The hike was an easy uphill zigzag to the top and the views are to die for. Rafael also stoped on the side of the road so we could take photos with the local monkeys, which I was very happy about it actually made my day. Pick up was on time and I received the confirmation email with all the details of the tour in a timely manner. Very good reliable company. Would’ve done more hikes with them if we had more time in Rio.

The guide speaks good English and was super friendly and accommodating. He picked us up at the hotel on time and dropped us off at a restaurant since we didn't want to go back to the hotel. I thought there were more people joining us but it's just my husband and I, which worked out quite well. We got to stop at the Vista Chinesa and Cascatinha Taunay as long as we wanted and took lots of pictures. He introduced the history around the place at every stops, and we chatted everything from politics to food and culture. During the hike, he adjusted the pace to our needs and even carried my backpack for a while.
He actually recommended that restaurant which wasn't on our radar. We were very pleased with the experience.
I booked two other activities with RioXtreme, one of which was cancelled and the other was delayed a day, both due to poor weather. The email communication was sufficient and the refund for the cancelled activity was prompt.
Before I booked this hiking tour I was looking at another site. I noticed that in the description it says "passing by" Vista Chinesa and Cascatinha Taunay. I wondered if we would be able to stop there and take pictures so I emailed them and asked. To my surprise they responded: "We're passing by because this is a hiking tour and not sightseeing tour, ok?", which really wasn't the smart thing to say... RioXtreme on the other hand was super nice. If I ever go to Rio again, I'll book with them for sure.

Professional and friendly guide. Pick up/drop off option at your location is very convinient especially if you visit Rio for the first time.
Pick up was on time. Averall a very positive experience: good and prompt communication via email and very affordable. The staff will go extra way to accomodate you or solve any issues due to the weather or any other unforseen circumstances. I would definitely use RioXtreme again.
