You push off from a small marina as the city’s skyline slips from view and the Atlantic stretches open: the jet ski’s wake scours a bright trail while islands ahead promise shallow reefs and clear patches of blue. On this two-hour outing around the Tijuca Islands you’ll alternate between fast, wind-cutting runs and slow, face-down tow snorkeling — the guide drives the ski while you float, mask down, helmet of sun above.
