Newton was the best - Newton was a wonderful tour guide! He speaks multiple languages so don’t worry if you don’t speak Portuguese. The journey to get there is long but totally worth the experience! Please pack a portable charger, swimming suit and snacks. Although they will stop along the way for you to eat and they have meat skewers on the boat. If you buy dinner included in the excursion you’ll have that as well. This was sooo fun. Please note it is an all day activity. Pick up was 5:30 am we arrived back to our hotel 9:30pm. If you have children they are welcomed! Just keep in mind the journey is long. The bus was spacious and the ride was smooth with some good sight seeing.

Fun day out on a boat! - Arraial do Cabo is a beautiful place and so worth the journey! Andrea provided English translation as needed. It was a fun day and nice to get out of the city to see a different part of Brazil. The boat staff also offered photography and snorkels for a nominal price. Make sure to bring snacks or cash to buy food on the boat as the lunch is late (but delicious local food).

Great Boat Tour Experience! - Me and my colleagues had fun with the beach and swimming experience. Sad our hotel was the last to pick up so we sat in the last row but it is fine because this got compensated with the boat tour experience!

Beautiful beaches and incredible tour. - Incredible experience in Arraial do Cabo with a boat trip and visits to wonderful beaches with the Tortugas boat team and guide Karla from C2Rio. We had the opportunity and luck to be accompanied by dolphins.

Swimming with fish is sunbathing and listening to music. - We went to Angra dos Reis and other islands nearby. Alexia was our guide, she was very friendly and explained to us about the areas and what was around, she spoke Spanish. The sailors on the boat were also friendly. In the end we went to a buffet that is included. The experience was great, I would do it again. And he definitely recommended it.
