Our guide was Nicole and her husband and they were absolutely wonderful. Tailored the trip to our and our kids’ ability level and helped us get a taxi back to the boat port. Nicole was also super informative about the environment and her English was terrific. The hike was vigorous but the views and interesting formations were worth it! Make sure to bring water and bug spray!

Better than we expected our tour guide Nicole was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very helpful. We visited some amazing rock formations and a Beach of Love (Praia d’ Amour) which was the perfect place to cool off with a swim. We seriously want to go back to Buzios!

Nicole was a great guide. She was enthusiastic and wanted to make sure that the experience was exactly what we wanted so she gave us a couple different options.

This was a great guided tour. Our guide Nay was very patient with us as this was a little more strenuous than we anticipated. Nay was a wonderful guide and even gave us an option to continue back to our starting point or hike to a nearby beach where we could have lunch and drinks. We were able to call an Uber from the beach to go back to town. The views were amazing. I would recommend wearing tennis or hiking shoes as we were climbing up and down rocks, and bring water to drink. Nay had some water with her so she could refill our bottles when ours were empty.

Es una experiencia diferente. Recorres y al mismo tiempo aprendes sobre la historia geológica del lugar.
