If you want a nice, relaxing chill tour, this is for you. Time stands still and the snacks and beverages were plentiful. You won't get much historical info unless you ask, so I encourage you to ask if you're curious. Karina and Sophia (our guides) were fun!
Lauren_L, May 2026
Absolute must do! Amazing views and fabulous hospitality the drinks & snacks were delicious. The boat and crew were both lovely!
Gina_J, Apr 2026
The staff and sail were very nice.
The boat is very old tho-could really use new cushions and more to look and feel fresh.
Brad_S, Apr 2026
A great night out on the water with a whole lot to see. They took great care of us with snacks and drinks. Sophie had great English and it helped us a ton. I would highly recommend this experience.
Nathalia_T, Apr 2026
This was a beautiful tour Sophia and her coworkers were very welcoming and the drinks were really good!
Donna_W, Apr 2026
Learned a lot about Rio while cruising. Fortunately did it our first day so when we were walking around the city or on other tours, we had good perspective/knowledge.
Monika_L, Apr 2026
Unfortunately our tour go canceled due to weather. Would like to say the communication with the Team was wonderful!
Gareth_H, Mar 2026
This was an excellent boat trip on a perfect evening to enjoy the sunset. We were keen to not be on a party cruise (there are plenty of them on offer) and were delighted that the focus was on enjoying the experience rather than drinking as much as possible in 3 hours.
Craig_L, Mar 2026
What an incredible experience. The customer service during the boat trip was second to none. So personable and caring.
Dominique_T, Mar 2026
Kind of overpriced but the crew was really nice so I'll still give it five stars. They let us out to swim for a while too.
Ellen_W, Mar 2026
Well organized from the start. Good communication about where to meet the sailing crew, with several texts confirming meeting time. The three crew we had on our boat provided food & drink as well as taking photos during the sail. Three hours of peaceful bliss with amazing views.
Ernabel_D, Mar 2026
While we didn't get to see the sunset because of the clouds covering the sun, it was still the perfect sunset sail. I loved seeing Rio's beautiful topography from the bay. The crew was especially friendly, serving tasty snacks and drinks. We highly recommend!

We are visiting later in the month, the wrong date was booked and even after multiple attempts to contact the company about managing our tour and adjusting the date no one responded to emails or calls. Very unprofessional.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Nicole
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear about the situation with your booking date. Reservation dates can normally be managed or modified directly through the TripAdvisor platform. As our tours operate with a limited number of spots per departure, last-minute changes are not always possible once availability becomes restricted.
It is unfortunate that you were unable to join the experience on the scheduled date. Nevertheless, as a gesture of goodwill, both TripAdvisor and our company allow a 90% refund even in cases registered as a “no show.” We hope this helps to reduce the inconvenience caused.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and we wish you a wonderful stay and a great remainder of your trip.
Regards

Clarisse and Capitan Gabriel were great! Drinks were plentiful, music was nice, it was a great way to orient myself.
WenonahORourke, Feb 2026
This was a very relaxing and enjoyable motor “sail” around the bay. The views were terrific and the crew was sweet. We would definitely do this again.
Danielle_C, Feb 2026
We had a great time! It was a small sailboat, about 30’, and there were about 9 of us total. It was very nice and the crew were great!
Paul_A, Feb 2026
Amazing time, a peaceful fun boating experience, Clarisse was an amazing guide and extremely helpful and friendly! Would highly recommend this experience :)
Isaac_S, Feb 2026
Leander was the man! He helped make it a very chill boat ride and brought out the vibes! Great experience.
David_L, Feb 2026
Great communication via WhatsApp after booking prior to meeting time. Perfect size boat with not too many people. Drinks were always available and the crew were excellent.
To manage expectations, you don't travel too far' mainly remain in the bay and depending on the time of year, the tour might be over prior to the full sunset, but the trip is a MUST DO!
Seth_W, Feb 2026
Leticia was a great tour guide and we had a great time! The trip was a lot of fun and the refreshments and snacks were nice.
Gay_B, Jan 2026
We had a wonderful sunset sailing cruise with Dream Destination Rio (ddrio.com) 10 passengers in total (we were the oldest) around Guanabara Bay in Rio! Our crew of 3 included the captain, Apollo, and his helpers, Adriana and Lutetia! We sailed around the bay including getting close to the water’s edge of Sugarloaf Mountain which we had been on the top of only 2 days prior. Of course, we were constantly in view of Christ the Redeemer Statue on top of Corcovado Mountain! Adriana and Lutetia served us drinks and snacks whilst we cruised for 3 hours. We enjoyed chatting to them throughout the cruise learning about life in Rio! Lutetia was particularly friendly and engaging and spoke great English! Highly recommend our experience with DD Rio!!! Thankyou

Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are truly sorry that your experience with us was not positive and that the tour had to be cancelled. Unfortunately, in some situations, cancellations may occur at the last minute due to sudden and unpredictable weather conditions, such as the formation of strong storms. In these cases, safety must always be our top priority.
We understand how frustrating this situation can be and sincerely regret that it happened on your day.
As a way to express our apologies and minimize the inconvenience, we have already processed a full refund for the tour and also offered to reimburse the transportation costs between the marina and your hotel. Our team has contacted you via WhatsApp and is awaiting your response with the necessary details for the transfer.
We wish you all the best and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

We sailed on an overflow boat and it DIED in the middle of the harbor. The captain got us back to the marina with a tow and harbor assist an hour later than expected. The crew was wonderful but the boat was uncomfortable and archaic. The boat was too small for passengers!
Maria_G, Jan 2026
Leticia and Captain Elvis were fantastic hosts, made everyone feel welcome. They were both knowledgeable, gracious and made sure our experience was awesome.
Daniel_W, Jan 2026
Boat was too small and cramped. Had to sit across from others with legs immobile and intertwined. Boat not designed for this sort of thing. We chose to get off and forego what looked to be a grueling experience. This tour needs to be re-examined by Viator. Not good for your image...
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that you decided not to board and experience the tour in full. Our shared sailing experiences are conducted on ocean-going sailboats of 40 feet or larger, which are designed to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, in line with the experience described on our booking platforms.
That said, we understand that comfort expectations can vary from guest to guest. For travelers who prefer more space or a more exclusive setting, we also offer private tours, where the boat is reserved entirely for the booking guest, as well as luxury yacht options that provide a more premium and spacious experience.
We regret that the selected product did not match your personal expectations, and as a gesture of our apologies, we have processed a full refund of the amount paid.
We wish you all the best and thank you again for your feedback.

Cloudy skies and they offered to let us change dates. We went anyways and really enjoyed the views from the water. The caipirinhas were really good. Definitely recommend
Jermaine_T, Jan 2026
A great small group on boat - max 12 guests. This is not a party boat, but the drinks were flowing. A great way to experience the view of the city from the water.
Jose_S, Dec 2025
An excellent opportunity to get introduced to the sport of motor/sailing. Plus a seldom offered “all you can drink and eat” and a crew of 3 with lots of experience and good will
Deepali_K, Dec 2025
