Yup Star Ferris Wheel & Olympic Boulevard Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel or the port of Rio de Janeiro at the time you select and head to Rodrigues Alves Avenue, where the largest Ferris wheel in Latin America is located: the Yup Star.

We'll hop into one of the pods and begin the 88-metre ascent. From this height, we'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. Get your cameras ready to take some sensational snaps of Bahía de Guanabara and la Plaza Mauá!

After this incredible visual experience, we'll set off on a walking tour along the Olympic Boulevard. As we explore the vicinity of the legendary 2016 Olympic Games and Mauá Square, we'll reveal some interesting facts about the city. We'll also stop in front of the famous street art mural by Eduardo Kobra that depicts different ethnic groups from all over the world. Did you know it's the largest mural in the world?

During our walk along the Olympic Boulevard, we'll also marvel at the architectural beauty of the Tomorrow Museum, a work by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Closeby we'll come across the San Benito Monastery: a magnificent Mannerist-style monument that will captivate us with its beautiful whitewashed façade.

At the end of our 4-hour tour, we'll head back to the starting point.

Hotel Pickup

The tour includes pickup from hotels in the South Zone (Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana, Leme, Botafogo, Flamengo) and has meeting points in downtown Rio de Janeiro. If you’re staying in other areas, you should let us know so we can determine a new meeting point.

In addition, you can also use this service from the cruise port.
