Tours in Brazil

Astronomy Tour in Cambara do Sul/RS

When Sarah from our Global Hobo crew did this astronomy tour in Cambara do Sul, she found herself staring up at roughly 6,000 visible stars—a proper shock after years of city skies where 30 is a win. The tour runs 4 hours through the Southern Hemisphere night, hunting constellations, planets, shooting stars, and the occasional satellite while the guide threads together real astrophysics and philosophy (yes, the Fermi Paradox gets an airing). You'll leave with a group photo taken against that star field, shot on proper kit and handed over as a digital file. It's weather-dependent and only runs during darker lunar phases, but on a clear night the sky here genuinely delivers.

Private Transfer to Sao Paulo from the Airport

When Sarah from our Global Hobo crew arrived at São Paulo airport, she opted for a private transfer into the city rather than wrestling with the metro or hailing a cab in the chaos. It's a straightforward door-to-door service—driver meets you, takes you to your hotel, job done. The whole thing takes about an hour depending on traffic, which in São Paulo can be unpredictable. No frills, no tour commentary, just reliable transport from tarmac to your accommodation. Handy if you've got luggage, tired kids, or simply want to skip the airport scramble and arrive knowing exactly where you're headed.

Private Boat Trip - Closed Group Whelk Frame by Drumond I

When Sarah from our team booked the Drumond I private boat, we got a 4–7 hour closed-group experience on Brazil's waters with serious flexibility built in. It's a straightforward setup: you hire the vessel, bring your own food or add a customisable buffet package, and spend the day anchored or cruising with a crew focused on what you actually want. The vibe feels low-key—no cattle-call tourism, no fixed itinerary you didn't ask for. Small groups or families who want control over the day will find this refreshing.

Taxi from Guarulhos Airport to São Paulo.

★ 5.0 (135)

4 hours – 5 hoursfrom AUD $85

Taxi from Guarulhos Airport to São Paulo.

When Lily from our Global Hobo crew caught a ride from Guarulhos Airport into São Paulo, she found a straightforward private transfer that does the job properly. The car was roomy and climate-controlled, and the driver knew the route well—no faffing around or detours. It's a solid hour into the city centre, and you're dropped where you need to be. The whole thing felt professional without any pretence. If you're after a hassle-free airport exit and don't fancy negotiating with taxis or hunting for rideshare, this hits the mark.

Paragliding Rio de Janeiro

When Em from our team took to the skies above Rio, she got a fundamentally different perspective on the city — one that reframes the whole landscape. This tandem paragliding flight launches from Pedra Bonita, one of Rio's established jump sites, and keeps you airborne for roughly two hours. You'll drift over the forest-clad ridges of Tijuca, past the Cristo statue, down toward the beaches and favelas that ring the city. The pack-in includes a GoPro, kit, and a van ride from your meeting point up to the launch. It's the sort of thing that rewires how you see a place.

Half Day Hiking Tour Morro Dois Irmaos and Favela Vidigal

When Ben from our team ran this half-day hike, we climbed Morro Dois Irmãos and ducked into Vidigal favela—a working neighbourhood in Rio's north zone that doesn't pretend to be a museum. The trail itself rewards you with proper panoramic views across the city, but the real draw is moving through the community with a local guide who actually lives here, not someone parachuting in for the shift. You get a HD photo album to take home and transport sorted. Four to five hours, mixed pace, and the energy depends partly on your guide's mood and the group's rhythm.

Transfer Fortaleza to Jericoacoara for up to 4 people

★ 5.0 (123)

1 hour – 6 hoursfrom AUD $317

Transfer Fortaleza to Jericoacoara for up to 4 people

When Jake from our team booked this private transfer from Fortaleza to Jericoacoara, we got a straightforward run between two very different corners of Ceará. Fortaleza's a proper city—beaches, bars, restaurants—while Jericoacoara is a laid-back village tucked into dunes where the main street is sand. The drive sits somewhere between 1 and 6 hours depending on route and stops, and you've got the car to yourself for up to four people. It's the kind of transfer that quietly works: new vehicle, driver who knows the roads, no faffing about with shared shuttles or tight schedules.

4 hours – 5 hoursfrom AUD $144

Quadricycle Tour to the Hills with Off Road 15km - 2 people

When Em from our team took this quad bike tour in Serra Gaúcha, we hit 15km of hill terrain on a two-seater machine, with one of the company's trained guides at the helm. The outfit's been running these rides for nearly two decades in what feels like proper backcountry—dirt tracks and viewpoints that don't show up on the usual tourist routes. It's a solid 90 minutes of actual riding through the landscape, not just a lap around a designated park. The company runs with medical staff on-site and has a good safety record, which matters when you're bouncing over rough ground.

From the Past to the Present: A Historical Walking Tour of Rio

When Sarah from our Global Hobo crew tried this walking tour, she got a proper sense of Rio beyond the postcard spots. The guide steers you through the city's layered past—colonial architecture, cultural shifts, neighbourhood character—mixing walking with rides on the local VLT tram system to cover more ground without exhausting yourself. It's a solid 4–5 hours threading through areas where locals actually live and work, not just where tour buses park. You'll hear genuine stories about how Rio's identity has shifted over centuries, told by someone who knows the streets.

★ 5.0 (109)

8 hours – 9 hoursfrom AUD $199

Day Tour in Rio de Janeiro

When Alex from our team ran this eight-hour Rio blitz, it hit the major beats without pretence — Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, the Selarón Staircase, a stop at Maracana Stadium, and lunch at a downtown spot. You're in a van with a bilingual guide, picking up from Copacabana, Ipanema, or Leblón. The pace is brisk and the sightseeing broad. It's the tour for people who've got a day in Rio and want to see the postcard views rather than linger anywhere too long.

Tijuca National Park and all its wonders

★ 5.0 (94)

4 hours – 5 hoursfrom AUD $101

Tijuca National Park and all its wonders

When Alex from our team tackled Tijuca National Park, we found ourselves in one of Rio's most rewarding patches of urban rainforest. This 4–5 hour guided walk cuts through thick green, past old plantation ruins and waterfalls that actually justify the trek. The forest is genuine — dense canopy, proper birdsong, the works — and the guides know their stuff about both history and ecology. It's the kind of place where you feel Rio's old bones, minus the crowds of Christ the Redeemer.

Cação Beach Sunset with Photos Included by Zimbros Ecotour

When Tom from our team took this boat tour through Bombinhas Bay, we found it a genuinely low-key way to see the southern Brazilian coast without the hiking or swimming demands of most beach days. The 2-hour trip loops through quiet inlets, pulls up at Cação Beach for a sunset swim and photos, and detours past working oyster farms where you watch locals pull their catch straight from the water. It's the kind of tour that suits families, older travellers, and anyone after a gentle float with actual local flavour—though you'll want decent weather, and the boat needs at least four people to run.

Private customized Tour of Rio de Janeiro

When Ben from our Global Hobo crew booked a private Rio tour, he got exactly what he wanted: a guide who skipped the queues and took him to spots most visitors miss. You pick the destinations and pace — Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, the favelas, a quiet beach bar — and a multilingual guide steers you around the city in an air-conditioned car for 6–8 hours. It's Rio without the cattle-call energy, and without the standard tour-group script. You're paying for control and local knowledge, not the view itself.

🐠 Water Activities

1 hour – 2 hoursfrom AUD $63

Exclusive Tour Beach by Zimbros Ecotour

When Em from our team booked this Zimbros Ecotour boat run, we got a gentle two-hour coastal cruise through Baía de Zimbros out to Praia do Cação, hitting a handful of smaller beaches en route. It's a no-fuss operation—quiet boat, no blaring tunes, and designed so you don't have to be a swimmer or hiker to get around. Kids, older folk, and anyone after a low-pressure morning on the water will find it straightforward. The boat's not packed, the pace is easy, and there's a proper stop for a swim and a trampoline mess-about on the beach itself.

Private Boat Tour through the beautiful beaches and islands of Búzios

When Ben from our team took Sea Cupid's private boat tour around Búzios, it felt less like a standard tour and more like being invited out on the water by someone who genuinely loves what they do. The four-hour journey threads through the beaches and islands that make this coastal town tick—a mix of calm coves, rocky outcrops, and the kind of turquoise water that justifies the hype. The boat comes kitted out with floaties, snorkelling gear, and a floating platform for lounging between swims. It's a relaxed pace, suited to families and groups after a proper escape rather than a rushed tick-box experience.

Buggy ride in Arraial do Cabo with Joseph Photographer

When Tom from our team took this buggy ride around Arraial do Cabo, he got two things at once: a proper coastal tear-up and a professional photo shoot to prove it happened. You're in a four-wheel drive bouncing across white-sand trails and rocky outcrops along a genuinely striking stretch of Brazilian coastline—sharp turquoise water, dramatic cliff edges, quiet beaches. It's a 2.5-hour loop that skips the main tourist drag. Joseph (your guide) knows the landscape and either shoots on an iPhone or brings a Nikon with proper glass if you want the full photographic treatment. The vibe is small-group adventure with a side serve of vanity—which, fair dinkum, works.

Transfers PIPA Airports in Premium Electric Cars

When Alex from our team booked a transfer from Pipa Airport, we got picked up in a sleek electric car—quiet, cool, and a far cry from the typical airport shuffle. This is premium ground transport along Brazil's northeast coast, handling runs between Pipa, Natal, and São Miguel do Gostoso. The whole trip clocks 1–2 hours depending on your destination. The drivers know the region inside out, the vehicles are spotless and air-conditioned, and the service runs round-the-clock. It's the kind of arrival that sets the tone for a proper holiday rather than a stressed scramble.

1 hour – 3 hoursfrom AUD $187

Private City Tour in Porto Seguro

When Em from our Global Hobo crew ran this private city tour through Porto Seguro, we got a solid intro to one of Brazil's oldest colonial hubs with a knowledgeable local guide steering the conversation. The city's got that layered-history feel — cobblestone streets, old buildings, and a waterfront that's seen centuries of trade — mixed with the modern bustle you'd expect from a coastal town. The tour runs between 1 and 3 hours depending on what you want to see, with private transport handling the legwork and water on hand to keep you cool in the heat.

Rio de Janeiro Private Tour: Christ, Sugar Loaf & Selarón Steps!

★ 5.0 (70)

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $233

Rio de Janeiro Private Tour: Christ, Sugar Loaf & Selarón Steps!

When Jake from our team ran this 7–8 hour Rio private tour, we ticked off the big three: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Selarón Steps. You're driven between spots in an air-conditioned vehicle with a guide, so no wrestling with buses or metro queues. It's a smart hit of Rio's most recognisable landmarks and a fair whip through the city's layers — the spiritual (the Christ), the scenic (those cable-car views across the bay), and the bohemian (those mosaic-covered stairs that locals and artists have been decorating for decades). Best suited to first-timers or anyone short on time.

Private Transfer to and from Jeri Airport to Vila de Jeri

★ 5.0 (68)

50 min – 1 hourfrom AUD $173

Private Transfer to and from Jeri Airport to Vila de Jeri

When Tom from our team booked this private 4x4 transfer between Jericoacoara Airport and Vila de Jeri, it was a straightforward way to skip the shared minibus shuffle. You get a clean, air-conditioned vehicle and a driver who actually shows up on time — no small thing when you've just landed after a long flight. The village of Jericoacoara sits on a remote stretch of Brazil's northeast coast, accessible only by sand tracks, which is why the 4x4 is essential. The route takes about 50 minutes to an hour depending on sand conditions, and it's just you and up to three others in the car, door-to-door service.

2 AMAZING DAYS! Booking from 2 people - Chapada Diamantina by Zentur

★ 5.0 (67)

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $49

2 AMAZING DAYS! Booking from 2 people - Chapada Diamantina by Zentur

When Noah from our team booked this two-day Chapada Diamantina tour with Zentur, we found ourselves in Brazil's most photogenic highland region—think dramatic escarpments, emerald pools, and waterfalls that genuinely take your breath away. Day one is the heavy hitter: a 10-hour mix of driving and hiking that hits a cave, rivers, Morro do Pai Inácio, and multiple falls. Day two eases off with a gentler 4-hour trail through Lençóis, dipping in rivers and soaking in views of the colonial town below. It's a collective tour (minimum 2 people), and the vibe is organised but not rushed. Lunch is sorted on day one; you're fending for yourself the second day.

Quadricycle Tour to Morro Pelado 7km - 01 person on Quadri

When Alex from our team took this 45-minute quad bike run through Serra Gaúcha, we were riding one-person through hilly countryside around Apoema. The outfit runs five different route lengths (this one covers 7km), and they've been operating for 18 years with their own guides and medical staff on-site — a real differentiator in the region. It's not a rushed tourist tick: the routes deliberately route you past viewpoints and quieter tracks that regular tours skip. The vibe is safety-focused and properly equipped, which mattered on the steeper sections.

Rio Favela Tour

When Charlie from our team did this Vidigal favela walk, we got the real story—not the usual rubber-necking tour. Your guide is someone who actually lives in the community and knows every alley, rooftop, and resident. You're walking through steep, winding streets for 2–3 hours with locals whose families have been here for decades, hearing how the neighbourhood ticks rather than just gawping from the outside. The whole operation is built around putting money and respect back into Vidigal, which changes how the experience feels.

Walking tour of the bohemian neighborhoods of Santa Teresa and Lapa

★ 5.0 (64)

5 hours – 6 hoursfrom AUD $281

Walking tour of the bohemian neighborhoods of Santa Teresa and Lapa

When Mia from our team ran this walk through Rio's Santa Teresa and Lapa neighbourhoods, it felt like stepping into a different version of the city entirely. You start with a ride on the iconic yellow tram that climbs into Santa Teresa's steep, colonial-era streets, then wander at your own pace through bohemian alleyways before descending via the jaw-dropping Selaron Steps — a mosaic staircase covered in blue and white tiles — into the buzzing nightlife quarter of Lapa. The tour wraps at Cinelandia Square. It's a solid 3.5 hours and works best if you like a mix of structure and breathing room.

Paradise Lagoon tour

When Em from our team took the Paradise Lagoon tour out of Jericoacoara, we discovered why locals call one spot the Tree of Laziness — you'll understand the name when you arrive. This private 4x4 jaunt loops through the Jijoca de Jericoacoara national park, hitting a string of lagoons and coastal pockets that feel genuinely remote despite being day-trip distance. The landscape shifts from dense scrub to turquoise water and white sand in under six hours, and the vibe is relaxed; you're not herded through checkpoints or fighting crowds. It's the kind of tour that works because the vehicle does the heavy lifting and the stops are spaced out enough that you actually absorb each one.

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $84

Wine Tasting Experience

When Sarah from our team tried this wine tasting in Brazil, she spent an hour working through four local gaúcho labels—including a sparkling—with a sommelier walking through what makes each one tick. It's a straightforward, no-frills experience set at a winery that doubles as a retail space. The vibe is educational rather than fancy; you're there to learn how the grapes and production shape what's in your glass, not to pretend you know already. It's 18+ only, and the whole thing hinges on booking the sommelier in advance—this isn't a drop-in kind of setup.

Live an experience in the Rocinha Favela.

When Ben from our team did the Rocinha favela tour, we got a guided look at one of Rio's largest and most complex communities — the kind of neighbourhood you'd never properly understand from a distance. Our local guide knew the place inside out: the narrow lanes, the actual rhythms of daily life, the cultural layers most tourists miss. It's a straightforward 2–3 hour walk through a real, living suburb, not a theme-park version. You're not gawping from a bus; you're on foot, talking to someone who lives here. The air-con vehicle gets you there, but the real work is the walking and the conversation.

Private transport with guide to Brazil Falls + Bird Park

★ 5.0 (59)

5 hours – 7 hoursfrom AUD $155

Private transport with guide to Brazil Falls + Bird Park

When Lily from our Global Hobo crew booked this private transport option, we found ourselves with a dedicated guide and air-conditioned vehicle heading out to Brazil Falls and the Bird Park. It's a solid choice for couples or families wanting flexibility without the hassle of navigating public transport or driving yourself in an unfamiliar area. The five to seven hour window gives you breathing room to move at your own pace, though you're covering both sites in a single hit, so it's not a leisurely crawl.

Tour Tour, We take the tour of the Argentina + Puerto Iguaçu Falls

★ 5.0 (59)

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $225

Tour Tour, We take the tour of the Argentina + Puerto Iguaçu Falls

When Charlie from our team booked this private tour, we got a dedicated guide and our own air-conditioned vehicle to explore the Argentina–Puerto Iguaçu Falls border region over a full day. It's the kind of setup that works well for families or couples who want to move at their own pace without being herded around a coach. The falls themselves are massive — genuinely one of those geological showstoppers — and straddling two countries means you get perspectives most day-trippers miss. Seven to eight hours is enough to see both the Argentine and Brazilian sides without feeling rushed, though you'll want to pace yourself in the subtropical heat.

Florianopolis Walking Tour - History, Art and Gastronomy

★ 5.0 (58)

🛕 Culture & History

2 hours – 3 hoursfrom AUD $176

Florianopolis Walking Tour - History, Art and Gastronomy

When Ben from our team ran this 2-hour walk through Florianópolis' historic centre, we got the real layered story of the island — from the indigenous Kaingang and Guarani who were here first, through Portuguese colonisation and the slave trade, to the cultural landmarks that shaped the city today. Our historian guide moved us from the pretty Praça XV (November 15th Square) and the Cruz e Sousa Palace through pockets of Black history that most tourists skip, finishing at the chaotic Public Market where the tour wrapped with a small surprise. It's a tight two hours that actually respects the complexity of the place rather than glossing over it.

Private Transport - LAWN | CINNAMON

When Ben from our team booked this private transport run between Lawn and Cinnamon in Brazil, it was straightforward: a driver picks you up, gets you where you need to go in an air-conditioned car, and you've got a couple of hours to play with. It's the kind of service you grab when you're landing mid-morning or mid-afternoon and want to skip the shared minibus shuffle. The vehicle's fitted for families — infant seats, highchairs, the works. Useful if you're combining it with a business trip or just want the flexibility to stop for lunch or browse leather goods shops without rushing.

Parrot Peak Sunrise Hike Grand Island

When Noah from our Global Hobo crew tackled the Parrot Peak Sunrise Hike on Grand Island, it was one of those rare tours that actually delivers on the promise of early rising. You're up before dawn to chase the light across coastal cliffs, marine caves, and dense tropical vegetation that feels genuinely remote despite being within reach of public transport. Seven to eight hours total, with the payoff being a landscape that shifts from shadow to brilliant gold—and the kind of quiet only a pre-breakfast hillside gives you. It's proper hiking, not a gentle stroll, and the island's unique ecosystem keeps things interesting throughout.

5-day experience to Vale do Pati and Chapada Diamantina

★ 5.0 (57)

5-day experience to Vale do Pati and Chapada Diamantina

When Ben from our team tackled this 5-day trek through Vale do Pati in Chapada Diamantina, he crossed one of Brazil's most dramatic highland regions on foot—starting in Vila do Guiné and finishing in Andaraí. This is proper backcountry trekking, not a casual stroll. You'll see the Pati valley from above and below, sleep in basic communal guesthouses, and eat what the guides prepare. It's designed for people who genuinely like walking hard through nature, with support and logistics handled by an experienced outfit.

★ 5.0 (56)

4 hours – 6 hoursfrom AUD $177

Private Full-Day Tour - Salvador's Lower & Upper City

When Em from our team ran this seven-hour private tour, we covered Salvador from both angles—literally. The Lower City hugs the bay with its quieter, older vibe, while the Upper City's Historic Centre is where the city's Portuguese, African, and Indigenous threads knot together in the architecture and street life. You're driven between them in air-con comfort, which matters in Salvador's heat. It's a solid scaffold for understanding how the city actually works, not just its postcard bits.

Hiking Ecotour Jaraguá Park – Incredible Rain Forest Landscapes In São Paulo

When Sarah from our team tackled this hike in Jaraguá State Park, we found ourselves 40 minutes out of São Paulo's chaos, threading through one of the city's last Atlantic Forest patches toward the state's highest point. The main draw is the pair of lookouts at 1,135 metres offering proper 360-degree views — São Paulo spreads below you like a sprawling grid while forest canopy surrounds the summit. It's a 3.6-kilometre round trip, mostly shaded, taking around 90 minutes at a steady pace to the top, though the final push gets steep. Wildlife — small marmosets, capuchins, toucans, the occasional sloth — appears regularly along the trail if you're patient and quiet.

Comedy and Improvisation Show - Every Sunday

When Charlie from our Global Hobo crew caught En Pé Na Rede's Sunday night show at Barbixas Club in Brazil, we found ourselves in a packed, buzzy room watching three sharp comedians tear through 90 minutes of stand-up and sketches. Victor Camejo, Osmar Campbell and Rominho Braga work material that's landed hundreds of millions of YouTube views — think observational humour and crowd interaction bits that keep the energy high. It's a proper comedy club night: tight venue, local crowd, the kind of place where you're shoulder-to-shoulder with families and mates out for a genuine laugh. No frills, just the show.

MIX FACE VAN - by Venus' Secret Spa - Sao Paulo

When Charlie from our team tried Venus' Secret Spa's MIX FACE VAN in São Paulo, we found ourselves in a thoughtfully designed urban wellness space that takes its approach seriously. The two-hour ritual kicks off with Vanderleia—the spa's founder and practitioner of 28 years—applying energy work for half an hour, setting you up for the facial treatment that follows. The whole setup orbits three sensory elements: aromatherapy, chromotherapy (colour therapy), and music, all housed in a compact spot that's been built with environmental care in mind, right down to rainwater harvesting and LED lighting. It's the kind of place where the philosophy matters as much as the treatment.

Half Day Private E-Bike Tour in Rio

When Tom from our Global Hobo crew took this half-day e-bike tour around Rio, he pedalled through neighbourhoods and forest patches most visitors never see. The electric assist means you're not grinding uphill in 30-degree heat — the motor gives you a boost when you need it, so the focus stays on spotting wildlife and soaking up how the city actually sits in the landscape. It's a solid 4–6 hour loop with a guide who clearly knows Rio's quieter corners, and you'll finish with a proper sense of the geography beneath all that iconic skyline.

Transfer from Jericoacoara to JJD airport

When Alex from our team needed to get from Jericoacoara to JJD airport, we booked this private 4x4 transfer for the 40-minute to hour-long drive. It's a straightforward shuttle service — nothing flash, but properly licensed and run by locals who know the coastal roads. You're picked up from your accommodation and dropped at the terminal, which beats flagging down a taxi after a beach trip.
