Cabo Frío Day Trip

  • 17 reviews | 359 travellers
    An excellent excursion that combines both beaches and the city. La Negra (the tour guide) was a genius, very friendly, and provided a wealth of useful information about the tour, both historical and speaking tips for those of us who are foreigners. Just one piece of advice: it would be good to address the noise issue during the transfer, since the entire conversation couldn't be heard clearly from the back (or implement a microphone and speaker system for when the guide is in the front seat). Best regards.

Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up at the time indicated from your hotel in Búzios and from here we'll head south to one of the most popular coastal destinations in Rio de Janeiro: Cabo Frío.

Once we reach our destination, we'll stop for between 1 and 1.5 hours at one of its main beaches, which are renowned for their fine golden sand and turquoise waters. Get ready for your first dip!

We'll continue the tour of this beautiful town by heading to the pier where boats depart for Ilha do Japonês, an unspoilt island where you'll have 1.5 hours of free time to dive, sunbathe or go hiking.

Next, we'll go to a restaurant, where we'll refuel with a delicious buffet lunch. We'll also give you 1.5 hours of free time to visit the Shopping Park Lagos shopping centre, where you can do some shopping if you wish.

To round off the experience in style, we'll take a stroll through the historic and cultural centre of Cabo Frío.

Finally, we'll make our way back to your hotel in Búzios, where we'll arrive between 8 and 9 hours after pickup.
