Can i ask on day 9 of this tour, what is transportation, is it by boat?, is the water calm? sea sick reason

I assume you're referring to day 8, not the 9. The tour takes place by boat, so if you suffer from seasickness, I'd recommend skipping it — conditions can vary quite a bit. If you prefer, we can replace the tour with an excursion to Praia do Forte (which can be reached by car), leave the day free, or shorten the trip by one day. We're quite flexible.

Wondering how long before a November 2026 trip ro apply for the visa

The visa application process is actually quite fast and it usually takes only a few days to be completed.

Can you please tell me more about the hotels/accommodation and sleeping arrangements? Can you provide the name of the hotels and is it a private room for 1 person? Can you also confirm if all transport between activities is included in the cost?

Hotels are booked only after you make a reservation. The category is standard which is equivalent to a 3-star. To get an idea of the hotels you can take a look at the daily itinerary descriptions. The rooms are private. All transportation are included.

Can you please confirm that the single room price US$1.534,50? How many people are booked so far? Does the hotels have Wifi? Will she be travelling in a group?

Unfortunately, there was an error in the published price for the single room. The correct price (without any discounts) is $2,200 for the single room. There are no other participants and a minimum of two people is required. I would have to organize a private tour if the customer is traveling alone and is interested.

I see you now have 2026 dates. I am probably looking at November. My question is that I will be going to Florianopolis after the tour for a week or so. I am wondering which would be the best time to go.

best time to visit Florianopolis: November-April

I am wondering when you will post 2026 dates for this tour. I am looking at Nov 2026

November 2026 is still quite far away. Domestic flight schedules are typically not released until about 10 months before the travel date, and international flights are also currently unavailable—so it wouldn't be possible for anyone to book or confirm flights at this stage. Hotel rates and service fees are also not fully published yet. The best approach would be to wait until late 2025 or early 2026 to get a realistic and accurate quote. That will definitely be the most reliable option.

The tour I took just now in Dec. 2025 was 3-day Iguazu Falls from Rio which is no longer offered. The supplier Etours was very responsive both before and during the tour making sure things were happening according to what we needed. There were a few things they (Daria and team) helped us to find alternate ways to make sure our needs were accommodated. The most impressive is that they responded to one of the situations right away when I email them and make it right. I am thankful the way they responded instantly when things were not happening as planned. There was good communication by whatsapp from each driver before the pickup. I think the overall service was very good. Margaret (Canada).Show more

The operator was for sure helpful and communicative always available to reply or to change some details when necessary. There were, however, some inaccuracies. For instance, a date of birth was inserted incorrectly on a flight (luckily I noticed it and they promptly fixed it). The price was not high compared to other agencies I checked but it was too high for what we got (half a day tours, transfers, hotels and a flight would amount to half of what we paid, considering we were 5 people). The hotels selected were nice (especially the one at the waterfalls). I was not aware that the day we landed at Iguazu was a national holiday (=pretty busy at the border, it took 5 hours to cross). The agency, however, should have known it and expected longer queues... therefore the fact they booked a hotel on the other side of the border seems a mistake in this situation. The local guides in Rio and Iguazu were nice and friendly.Show more

Dear Valeria, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to read your review, especially because during the planning process you were able to compare several proposals and saw that our price was actually lower than other agencies. I would also like to highlight that all tours were private and that the price included the personalised assistance and consultancy you received throughout the entire process. Regarding the accommodation, you specifically requested more characteristic and unique properties. Unfortunately, such options are not available on the Brazilian side, which is why I selected the Argentinian side, where the type of hotels you wanted could be found. As for the incorrect date of birth, you are right — and I apologise again for the mistake, which we corrected promptly. Concerning the national holiday in Iguazú, I understand the inconvenience this caused. Please rest assured that reviews — including critical ones — are always appreciated, as they help us continue improving our services. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

  Traveler•Written August 2025
  Is this tour suitable for a solo traveller to meet a group out there? Do you know how big the group is likely to be and the make up of the group? General ages, solo travellers, etc.? During free time in the mornings or afternoons, how much time is there roughly? Enough to do an additional activity outside of the itinerary?
- ETours Brazil DMCOperator•Written August 2025
  This trip normally requires a minimum of 2 participants. However, all the excursions are organized on a group basis. In Rio and Salvador you will have about half a day free, which is enough to enjoy an additional excursion or activity if you'd like.

  Sheila
  Traveler•Written September 2025
  Do you get many young (25-35) solo travellers on these tours? My concern is that I will be travelling solo and looking to make some connections, but feels unlikely if each activity is done with a different group.
- ETours Brazil DMCOperator•Written September 2025
  Our tours usually bring together quite a mixed crowd, and you'll find yourself with different people on each excursion rather than staying with the same group for the whole trip. Since your priority is to connect with other solo travellers in a consistent group, you might find it more rewarding to look at tour operators who specialize in that type of experience, such as Contiki, Intrepid Travel, WeRoad or G Adventures.
