AquaRio Aquarium Guided Tour, Admission & Transfer + Olympic Boulevard

Overview

We start with a pick up at the hotel. This is a 4-hour tour. We invite you to visit AquaRio, the largest aquarium in Latin America. Located in the Zona Portuária (Port Zone), the aquarium occupies a former cold-storage warehouse in an area that spreads over four floors and a basement. It is home to 8,000 animals of 350 different species, including sharks, sting rays and fish. Part of the proceeds of the AquaRio goes to research programs in Brazil focused on marine biology, environmental issues and sustainability. During the tour, we can take pictures (no flash, please) in areas such as the Recinto Oceânico e de Mergulho (Oceanic and Diving Enclosure), the largest tank in the Aquarium holding up to 3.3 million liters of water and seven meters in depth. At the same time, we learn a little bit more about aquamarine life and the impact of our actions in their ecosystem. Close to the end of the tour, we pass underneath a tunnel and see the water above us, which gives a unique feeling. This is a memorable experience for the entire family! After the tour inside the aquarium, we take this opportunity to see the urban street art in the Olympic Boulevard. See the biggest graffiti of the world: the Mural das Etnias from Brazilian artist Kobra. We offer this tour twice a day: In the morning or in the afternooon.

Roundtrip transfer, tour guide and tickets to the AquaRio included.
