Additional Information

Can’t-miss coastlines and isles!

Indeed, Angra dos Reis boasts 365 islands, a fact that massively contributes to its charm. Located on Rio de Janeiro’s coast, this place is famed for its idyllic landscapes, clear waters, and unmatched beauty.

The largest island in Rio de Janeiro state and the sixth-largest sea island in Brazil is Ilha Grande. Its coastline is characterized by a host of peninsulas and inlets, resulting in multiple beach spots.

Among the multitude of choices, the most favored beaches/islands include Lagoa Azul, Lagoa Verde, Praia Cataguazes, Praia de Freguesia de Santana, and Praia de Japariz, where we’ll pause for lunch.

Good - Good for the day trip from RIO. It requires preparing for swimming but I can't much. I want to visit again to enjoy swimming in Ilha Grande!

Beautiful Experience of the Sea away from the City - This was a highlight of our trip! Flavia our guide, brings joy with her smiles and speaking in 3 languages to ensure all are well aware of what’s coming up. It’s a long day, but well spaced out with safety in mind and multiple sites to see. I highly recommend if you haven’t done this already and cast away on the azul sea and beautiful beaches.

Great trip. - Renata was a great tour guide. The experience was great. The water was crystal clear, and the island was beautiful. I especially loved the Blue Lagoon stop.

Amazing views and vintage boat ride. Worth spending the day to experience it. - Views are breathtaking. Like the guided tour. Keep in mind group is big to manage and for pickup and drop off bus stops at various locations.

Amazing day and visit to islands - Landscapes were beautiful and the boat was a lot of fun (we had a slide off the back of it!). Our guide Ana was very welcoming and she helped us with language translation. The only hiccup was at dinner — the kitchen couldn’t keep up with the volume of guests. While I was able to get plenty to eat, some folks towards the end of the line did not. That said, there were plenty of opportunities to purchase beverages and snacks throughout the day on the boat and at rest stops.

Disappointing - Trip was a bit disappointing. Barely any guiding in English. Crowded boat. Mediocre food. 1 hour stop at a gas station to have “lunch” or a snack with only horrible food options

A scam - Awful. From looking at the reviews on here, I imagine the company will reply with something that makes it seem like everything wasn't their fault, but throughout the trip we were deliberately lied to. Even though hotel pick up was organised and paid for, they messaged us very last minute to tell us that actually we would need to get a taxi into the city. After rushing there, they were another hour late. We were then told the bus journey would take 2 hours (like it says in the description), but in reality it took over 5 hours. The boat trip itself was over packed with people, and dropped us off in areas full of litter, and dangerous currents. 'Lunch' was provided at 6 pm, not at a normal lunch time. Our tour guide only spoke to us in order to try and get more money from us. The journey back took another 5 hours, and ended with the coach refusing to drop us back at our hotel, and instead threw us out in the middle of the city at around 1 am the next day. This is not a safe situation for tourists to be in.
