About this activity
Escape Rio's crowded beaches on a full-day adventure to Prainha and Grumari, two pristine Atlantic coastline gems backed by lush forest and crystal waters just an hour from Copacabana. This guided tour combines scenic coastal drives, swimming, rainforest dining, and a visit to a craft cachaça distillery for an authentic taste of Rio beyond the resort strip.
Spend a relaxing day swimming and having fun in the sun at some of Rio’s top beaches on this day tour. Located only about 1 hour from the Copacabana area, the exuberant beaches of Prainha and Grumari are free of high-rise buildings, protected by the vegetation of the Atlantic Forest, and have clear waters.
Take in a scenic drive along winding roads and see some spectacular scenery along the way. Listen to commentary from your guide and learn more about the area.
Relax on the beach in a quieter atmosphere a bit off the main tourist track. Be closer to nature, take a swim, or plant yourself in a beach chair and soak up the sun.
Have an unforgettable lunch at a rustic seafood restaurant built in a treehouse in the rainforest.
After having such a delightful day, have a brief stop to taste the original delicious cachaça at the only distillery in Brazil to produce it without heavy metals and superior alcohols.
At the end of the tour, you’re dropped off at same location where the tour started.

Insider tips
- ★Arrive early and claim a beach chair at Grumari or Prainha to secure the best shade and vantage points before midday crowds build
- ★The treehouse restaurant fills quickly—your guide will likely have secured seating, but ask about menu highlights and any dietary restrictions when booking
- ★Bring a reusable water bottle; refill stations are limited in this remote area, and staying hydrated in the tropical sun is essential
- ★The cachaça distillery visit is brief but meaningful—purchase directly if you find a bottle you love, as it's rarely exported
