Join us for an incredible whale watching experience on the coast of Rio de Janeiro. During this 3-hour boat tour, we navigate from the Tijucas Islands area towards the Cagarras Islands, crossing part of the migration route used by humpback whales and other cetaceans.

Before departure, participants receive a short briefing and behavioral lecture from a specialist, explaining whale migration, conservation, sighting protocols, and how responsible tourism helps protect marine life.

Once whales are spotted, we follow proper observation procedures that respect the animals’ space and natural behavior, creating a more authentic and unforgettable experience.

Brazil is privileged to receive the annual migration of humpback whales, one of the most admired species in the world of whale watching. Every year, they travel nearly 4,000 km from Antarctica to the Brazilian coast. Along the way, it is also possible to spot dolphins and other marine wildlife.

This is more than a tour — it’s an opportunity to connect with nature, understand marine conservation, and experience Rio from a completely different perspective.
