1–Day Arraial & Búzios Tour: Paradise in the Coast of Rio de Janeiro

By Gregtur Tourism Rio
What is Travelers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Even if you have only a short time in Rio, you can still explore the Arraial and Buzios on a full day excursion. Make the most of your time by taking a boat tour to uncover the main offshore islands of Arraial do Cabo, hopping from one paradise. The tour explores one of the most beautiful areas of the state of Rio with stops at marvelous beaches.  Grab a snorkel and go for a swim, free floating dive, stand up paddle, and relax in crystal clear waters.  After the boat tour, have a delicious typical lunch before driving to the town of Buzios. As we continue, discover some of the coolest touristic areas in a walking tour in Búzios catching sights and doing some shopping. The downtown works as a large open-air mall and goes far beyond a mere set of shop windows attracting people throughout the day and night. When night comes downtown gets busy. We may seat down at one of the bars to have some drinks, appetizers and get a feeling of the atmosphere.

          Memorable, fun experience!
          Our tour guide was amazing! Camila was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us an authentic glimpse into local culture by showing us her favorite places to frequent and giving her hilarious and honest opinions. The tour was a great blend of sightseeing, food tasting, and learning facts about the area. Camila even kindly accommodated an unexpected change in plans after illness interrupted our original tour date. It was a fantastic experience—highly recommend!

          Do you want a lot to see in a short time?
          We had very little time in Rio and this tour was great to see a lot in a short period of time. Tour guide Eduardo and the driver were very nice, very knowledgeable, very helpful and made our time fun and pleasant. Lunch was actually a delicious buffet!

          A Great Day In Rio On The Water
          On our last day in Rio, we booked a late morning boat tour (3 hours long) of Guanabara Bay with Captain Marcela. She and her crew spoke English very well and took good care of us for the tour. They provided us with snacks and drinks and gave us good explanations of the sites and points of interest, including Sugarloaf Mountain, some of the beaches of Rio, the two forts guarding the harbor, the old prison, Niteroi City, its Museum of Contemporary Art, and some of its beaches. The tour boat stopped near the Adam and Eve beaches near Niteroi City so that we could swim in Guanabara Bay. It was a refreshing unique experience that we enjoyed very much. Being on this tour and seeing the Rio area from the water after seeing it from land was a great way to end our visit to Rio. Captain Marcela and crew, thank you very much for a great tour.

          Disappointing and extremely overpriced
          We were confused by the tour since it got such good reviews and kind of wonder if we were scammed by booking this. This tour is not worth the cost and was a huge disappointment. Our guide was lovely, but the tour was not engaging, and he was on his cell phone much of the time. One stop was out of the food we went for, and at another he did not know where one of the restaurants was located, so asked a person on the street who then followed us to the restaurant asking for money. Many of the foods we tried were very good, but there was no description of what it is or why we were trying it in several instances. He took photos and said he'd send, never recieved them. There are so many great ways to see the city and experience it, but this was not it. We've done food tours in other countries that were the highlight of our trip, and this was definitely not that.

          Best tour in Rio!!
          I recently joined a city tour in Rio, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Cassio, was outstanding—extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city. He shared fascinating insights about Rio’s history, culture, and hidden gems, making the tour both fun and informative. Cassio’s warm personality and professionalism truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio!

          Rio Tour 5⭐️
          We met with a lovely Guide (Gustavo) in our hotel. His energy and experience on Rio was amazing. You start by seeing Christ Redemptor and follow a lovely path through Rio (pass the entrance of some favelas also) to go to amazing places. Highly recommended. Tip: Guide will give you the option to end tour at Sugarloof Mountain (last stop) so you can enjoy the sunset or the restaurants and the view over there. I suggest everyone to take that option and take in the lovely views. Overall great experience.

          Camila and this tour are INCREDIBLE!
          This tour was so much more than a food tour! We saw SO much of the city today! I would recommend this tour to anyone in the city, we went into the business district and saw the beautiful library, we went on the tram to Santa Teresa. We ate a delicious filet mignon sadwhich, açaí, many deserts and many drinks. Camila is an amazing tour guide, and super knowledgable about the city.
