Highlights
- Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia - Also known as “Prainhas”, it is divided in two, separated by rocks (at high tide, turns one). To reach the calm, transparent and perfect waters for bathing, you have to face a wooden staircase of 255 steps, that leaves the hill of Atalaia.
- Farol Beach - A great star of Arraial do Cabo, Praia do Farol is one of the most beautiful in the whole of the Lakes Region and, without exaggeration, all over Brazil. It has gained fame especially for being classified by INPE (National Institute of Space Research) as one of the most perfect beaches of the country, following criteria of water purity, sand quality and landscape. Fame has spread and today Praia do Farol is one of the must-see tours in Arraial do Cabo.
- Gruta do Amor - The Blue Grotto is part of the boat trip that leads to Praia do Farol. The rock formation is just one of many natural beauties on the route that passes through the Island of Cabo Frio. The whole course in the open sea is beautiful, with impressive water tones. The Blue Grotto is just one of the beautiful moments, which still count with the waves that break fiercely against the rocks.
- Crevice of Our Lady of Assumption - A crack between rocks, with the image of a saint in the middle.
Legends of fishermen who found her at sea and put her as protector of the city there, or legends of couples kissing in front of the image to perpetuate the love, are some stories that probably the guide will tell on the tour.
- Forno Beach - The hidden trail at the end of Praia dos Anjos leads to one of the most incredible paradises of Arraial do Cabo. The effort of the ascent will be quickly rewarded by sight seeing that allows a paradisiacal view of the city. Praia do Forno is one of the main cards of Arraial do Cabo and is not for less. The colorful water in the cove and the strip of white sand surrounded by the lush vegetation form a scenery worthy of many photos.

Great Tour. But not truly worth it. - Vanessa was awesome. She really tried to make sure I was having a good time as the only English speaker on the tour. She was constantly making sure everybody was accounted for and has a great understanding for English even though she doesn’t speak it fluently. Vanessa is amazing and made me feel very welcome. I’m glad she was who was my guide.
The driver was also very great. He was very a driver. ( which you better be driving a BUS in Rio.) Amazing views and photos to be taken.
BUT. To no fault of the tour company. The beach experience was underwhelming. But to no fault of the crew. They did a fantastic job from captain to cook. A great experience.

Tour Arraial do Cabo - I had the opportunity to take a guided tour by Juliana Schramm, and the experience was excellent! Although the boat ride was cancelled due to the winds, Juliana quickly arranged an alternative with a bug ride, which ended up being even better! The change of plans was perfectly conducted, and the bug ride provided incredible views and unforgettable moments.
Juliana proved to be an extremely attentive and flexible Guide, ensuring that the tour was fun and well organized, even with the changes. She shared her vast knowledge about the locations we visited, which further enriched the experience.
In addition, she took care of all the details of the ride, from the driver to the restaurant, ensuring everything was of high quality.
I highly recommend the tours with Juliana! If you are looking for a Guide who can adapt and offer memorable experiences, she is the right choice.
Thank you very much, Juliana, for making our visit so special!

Excellent! - Excellent tour! Giuliana, the Guide of the tour, very friendly. Everything went as I expected, flawless, we just could not make the boat ride in the wind. I'd come back to the same tour a thousand times. Thank you very much

Beaches worth the travel - Overall a great day. Due to bad winds, we couldn’t get on the boat and instead had to settle for local dune buggys to commute between the secluded beaches, which honestly was just as fun. This did come at an extra unexpected cost though.
Juliana our guide was great and the bus was comfortable, which was important given the 2hr + bus ride each way.
I think you need to include this day if it’s your first time to Rio!

Bad experience, the worst of my holidays - When we buy an excursion that includes a boat ride, several hours passing through several beaches, stopping for diving etc... and the same does not happen due to the wind, I think the company should warn that the tour consists only of doing more than 150km of bus to each side, with a stop on a beach where we can not stay due to the tide being high, and there is virtually no sand. We were waiting 1 hour on the top of the stairs, to take us to a restaurant, where we had lunch and then we were deposited on another beach two more hours, and return trip to the hotel. It was a terrible experience. They should inform people that due to the wind there was no boat ride and consider whether people still wanted to go or not. If I knew it would be like this I'd switched to another day. It was a lost day, money badly spent, because in the bottom was to ride a van, nor was it a bus, because we were only about 14 people, to go 1 hour to a beach that does not exist and 2 hours to another. Nothing to do with the tour I bought. Be careful, and if you know there's no boat, it won't be worth it. Nothing was explained during the journey, could take advantage to show some things and explain where we were and not that. The Guide that went with us didn't even need to go, just the driver would be enough because he didn't explain anything to us.
