Description
Enjoy a boat tour in the exuberant scenery of the Tijucas Islands, a little known paradise in Rio de Janeiro. If you enjoy adventure, try flying underwater or gliding over it with Planasurf.
Board a modern and safe boat in the canals of the lagoons of Barra da Tijuca for the Planasurf ride. We proceed to the Tijucas Islands, a carioca paradise located between Barra da Tijuca and São Conrado, frequently visited by tourists and water sports enthusiasts.
Planasurfing is included in the tour but is optional. The activity can be done on underwater flight boards or on towed buoy. The underwater flight is done slowly and uniformly at 7km/h, with the boat pulling up to five people in the water at the same time, each on a board with an individual rope.
The towed buoy, called Planafloater, has advanced designs, in which it is possible to have fun gliding with comfort and safety, or even opting for more thrilling and adrenaline-filled rides at high speed.
The tour includes safety equipment, and you can do the underwater flight with or without mask/snorkel. It is an easy, safe, and instinctive activity, taking only a few minutes to become familiar with the equipment.
It is possible to just relax aboard the boat without performing the Planasurf activity, enjoying the stops for diving in incredible places of crystalline waters, with crevices and caves among the impressive walls of the Tijucas Islands.
