frequently asked questions
What are the preventive measures against covid-19 adopted on the tours? If I'm already vaccinated, do I need to follow them?
We have been following the safety measures recommended by WHO and OMT along with the city laws. Wearing face masks is not mandatory anymore but we recommend using them. All our guides and drivers are fully vaccinated and our vehicles are sanitized after tours.
What is so good about Arraial do Cabo?
Arraial do Cabo is famous for its beaches. They are certainly among the most beautiful in the State of Rio. No wonder it is known as the ‘Brazilian Caribbean’. The city itself is small, unattractive. But the beaches……
Can you explain better this non-private boat tour thing? What if I want a private one?
5 am for pickup time time? Seriously?
I know, too early, right? But it is only a suggestion. Arraial is about 150 km from Rio. The suggestion to start at 05:00 am is for those who want to take the first boat, which departs at 08:00 am. And the advantage of doing this is to enjoy the stops better because the places will be empty.
But there are several boat departure times so we can start later.
Will we stop for lunch after the boat tour?
If you want to, why not? We recommend a stop at Cabo Frio (nearby city of Arraial) to lunch by the Fort Beach.
Can you explain the 'per private group of up to 4 people' prices?
This is how it works: the prices listed entitle up to 4 people, from your group only, to participate in the tours. Those are final prices, not ‘per person’ prices.
My group has more than 4 people. How can I book?
You can either book 2 (or more, according to your group size) tours for the same date or contact us for a special quote.
Will the tour be cancelled in case of bad weather?
Yes. To operate this tour the agency needs the Navy’s permission to sail. If the conditions are not appropriate they will not grant the permission, therefore the tour will be cancelled. and you will get a refund.
I am not sure if I feel safe booking on your website. How can I be sure that it's not a fraud?
We have a TripAdvisor profile and we are registered in the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism. But we understand your concern. There is a lot of scams on the Internet so if you don’t feel safe and/or comfortable booking directly on our website, we strongly recommend that you do on TripAdvisor. You can follow this link or search for ‘be free rio’ on their website. No matter the source of your booking we guarantee that you will have an unforgettable experience!
