Note

This tour involves an extensive amount of walking at the Tijuca Rainforest, along with off-road driving over bumpy surfaces. This tour is recommended for guests in good physical condition, and is not suitable for guests with back and/or neck problems, guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair. Guests are advised to wear lightweight, comfortable clothing and closed-toe walking shoes, sun protection, insect repellant, a hat and sunglasses from the ship.  The 4WD vehicles used are not air-conditioned and it is difficult to escape the sun even with the cover over the vehicle.  During the Carnival holiday streets will be crowded and possibly blocked, therefore drive times may be longer than usual.
