Itinerary and highlights

In this experience, you will surf at the beach with the best conditions of the day for your level, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced surfer! At the end of the session, if we don't go too far in search of the waves, you will also discover one of Rio's hidden gems, a place of unique beauty that very few tourists knows. Are you ready to live Rio like a carioca (local)?

After meeting at Barra da Tijuca, we will explore the gorgeous coastline of the city in search of the best spot for you! This experience is a great opportunity to get to know the beautiful, but not very touristy, beaches on the west side of Rio.

Once on the beach, we'll explain the safety measures at sea, warm up and practice pop up movement on the board, first on the sand.

When the movement up is perfect we will go to the water to catch some waves!

You can add a surf photos package for an extra, please let us know if you are interested.

Important: the surf session lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes (30 minutes above the average). The total time of 4 hours is an average that depends on how far we will have to drive to find the waves.
