Overview

Paquetá is the perfect island to find peace and tranquility. Located in the Guanabara Bay, the Ilha de Paquetá, is a great place to escape from the city for a few hours.
Starting with hotel pickup, we take you to Praça XV to pickup the ferry to Paquetá. Enjoy the ferryboat ride in the Guanabara Bay and admire the city view.
There are no cars in the island and to go from place to place, you must walk or rent a bicycle (available for rent on location). The tour guide will take you to the best locations in town. The beautiful colonial buildings, the green hills, the colorful fishing boats and the quiet beaches all around will conquer your heart. Around lunch time, we can stop at one of the many traditional restaurants.
At the end, we take the ferryboat back to Rio and take you back to your hotel.
