Amazing whale watching tour - We did the whale watching in June 2025. It was an amazing experiance. We saw 3 whales and had beautiful views of Rio from the sea. The tour was very well organized. Thank you Rio Nature.

Rio from the sea - We had a fabulous morning seeing Rio from the sea! The views were spectacular and we saw turtles! A couple of them appeared when we stopped for snorkelling. The sea was wonderful for swimming and we had as long as we needed. Eric was our boat captain and he was a brilliant guide- we felt safe and well informed.

Snorkeling in Rio - The day was beautiful. The captain let us drive the boat and it was really fun! The snorkeling part was amazing and scary as I had never done it before. He also took us to see crocodiles which was really cool. Highly recommend!

Great tour with sea turtles! - This was an amazing experience. Initially I had a Friday day booked but after looking at the sea our captain messaged me recommending we switch to the Sunday after when the sea would be calmer. I was able to see a sea turtle (which was the most important thing to me) and tons of other fish. Our captain was also able to give us fun facts about multiple landmarks we passed on the way to the island.

An entertaining and cute experience - We leave on time, I managed to see a turtle and many fish! We also went to see alligators. I only need to give life jackets at the beginning of the tour, however when we asked for them they gave it to us.

Fun time Snorkeling - The view was great and we had loads of fun. The boat captain is very trustworthy, he took care of us and gave us a great tour of the area. There are plenty of life jackets and tools for people who can’t swim. The only gripe I have is that I wish the posting said that we would have to swim 20 meters to get to the beach because the boat can’t dock closer to the island.
