Memorable Macrae Adventure!

Ravi_H, Jun 2022
Rafael communicated with us prior to our tour to introduce himself and field any concerns. He provided detailed email to outline what to expect on the is tour and tips of things we would need to on thebday of to make the adventure comfortable. He was on time picking us up at the hotel where he returned us after our trip. Rafael as well as his team on the river have warm personalities are friend, attentive to your needs and made you feel very safe! They also shared alot of good information about Brazil and the landscape. I recommend buying lunch, coffee and souvenirs on your way back at the little cafe. The prices were very reasonable and the food quality excellent!

THIS WAS THE BEST

Fabian_G, Dec 2021
My favorite activity in my whole trip to Rio. It was amazing and really fun, Bernardo our guide he was really nice with us, and he enjoyed the tour too, so it was nice because it felt that he wasn't just our guide, he was one more of us enjoying an amazing experience. Also, Vinicius was the guy guiding our boat, he's the world champion in Rafting, he will definitely make your rafting experience go to another level in this tour.
