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.

Wonderful Boat Ride - It was a great ride from our hotel (3 hours). We got to see the other side of Brazil. The boat ride and the lunch we purchased was great. Our host was attentive to us. She spoke in English.

Terrible trip to Arraial do Cabo 👎 - Wow, it was the worst experience I had... the trip was perfect until I decided to do this tour for an absurdly more expensive price than normal (where if you search there are several other options) where it was raining, with no view of the van to the points where you need to see, there was no boat, highly stressful... we all wanted to go back and the guide didn't listen and continued following as if we weren't talking. Wow, I don't recommend it at all, opt for other more aware and understanding companies that look at the customer's side.
