Ever wanted to go on the Paris-Dakar endurance race? Or to put your SUV under extreme conditions? With this tour, you can do so while abusing someone else’s car.

You’ll rough it taking dirt trails, crossing rivers, stopping at crystal water beaches for a splash, shooting photos from cliffs and living out Jeep commercials, in a Landrover.

Sun Coast Half Day

The driver, Horacio, will take three different off-road trails. The first one is a deeply rutted trail that leads to a waterfall in Sampaio Correia, where you’ll trek a little. Then you’ll go over dunes for some 4X4 fun. At the beaches you’ll stop for a splash. Afterwards you’ll have lunch at “Mineira”, a flavourful country style restaurant. Before heading home, you’ll pass by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Niteroi, shaped like a “flying saucer”. Length: 7 hours.

Sun Coast Full Day

A full day version of the above tour, except that after the dunes you’ll speed over several flat beaches on the way to Arraial do Cabo. There you’ll have fresh seafood. Afterwards splashing at the crystal clear waters of Arraial, you’ll go over some dunes to Itaipuacu. Afterwards, you’ll take the road home. Length: 10 hours.
