    The guide and the boat crew were exceptional. The sites were very beautiful, although with so many boats it was overcrowded and difficult to get on and off. And the music was horrendous reggaeton for hours.

Tour Details

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Rio de Janeiro and head west. After a three-hour drive, we’ll arrive in Angra dos Reis, one of the most beautiful destinations on the Brazilian coast.

Once there, we’ll head to the port for a pleasant schooner ride to explore some of the area’s coastal gems. Our first stop will be Lagoa Azul on Ilha Grande, an incredible spot for snorkeling and home to countless starfish.

Next, we’ll explore Freguesia de Santana, where you can see Angra dos Reis’ first church, built in 1843. During the cruise, we’ll make several stops so you can take refreshing swims and enjoy this Brazilian paradise like never before.

To recharge, we’ll stop for a buffet lunch at Praia de Japariz. With energy restored, you can take a dip in the clear waters and admire the colorful fish.

After lunch, we’ll continue sailing, taking in the stunning views of the islands from the schooner. Finally, we’ll return to the port and drive you back to your hotel, arriving approximately 14 hours after departure.
