Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We loved our tour! It was the best way to see Rio, we visited the beaches, the downtown, some museums and went to the nearby islands. Beautiful views of the city. Highly recommend! Our captain was super kind and accommodating, he showed us what we had not seen. Thank you!

    The city of Rio de Janeiro has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, and the trip to the Cagarras islands with the Sagarana is the best way to admire it from the sea.
    The vessel is clean and very well maintained, with a very friendly, polite and attentive crew!

    We had never surfed before and Marcelo was a great teacher. Very nice surf lessons, in a very beautiful landscape and in a friendly atmosphere.

    I and eight friends of mine took a kayaking tour in Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas( Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon) with Paddle Club Lagoa guide Ricardo F. Maia on Saturday,November 3,2018. It was an amazing experience to go paddling in Rio with Paddle Club Lagoa. If you are into ecoadventure sports and ever visit Rio,be sure to include kayaking in Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas( Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon) with PADDLE CLUB LAGOA in your schedule!

    We loved taking surfing classes with Ricky! He is a skilled surfer and also knows how to train new comers as well. I don't speak much Portuguese so it was great to find an instructor that could teach in English. He made the classes fun and accessible to all skill levels, and all-around had good vibez. He gave us really helpful tips, and stayed in the water to help us throughout the entire class. Would highly recommend! (and not to mention, the views are INCREDIBLE from Arpoador!)

    Sarah and Gabriel are such amazing hosts, they helped me so much with finding my way in Rio. In my first airbnb I was the only guest, which made it hard to get in touch with people, but Sarah took me to my very first blocco, showed me around ipanema & copacabana and then introduced me to more solo travelers: I couldn't have asked for more. During my one month stay in Rio I met up 3 times with her & Gabriel, their friends, and other travelers. From all the parties I've been to during carnaval (which is a lot🥵) I liked her parties the most cause she and her friends are so friendly, funny, chilled, they know what parties to go to, how to create a good vibe and they are happy to explain things / help with anything. Thanks to you guys I had and unforgettable stay in Rio, and I will be back😎
