The crystal-clear water in shades of blue and green is waiting for you! We start the pickup very early in the morning, so we we will not miss a thing. As soon as we get in Arraial do Cabo, we go straight to the pier to take the boat and start our trip. We will go through the beautiful beaches with their white sand and beautiful water that are just ready to dive in. We are going to stop in three different locations to swim and enjoy the ocean. After the boat tour, we stop for lunch before going back home.
Roundtrip Transfer, boat tour, lunch and tour guide included.

All wonderful excursion, except for the return trip since a tire was punctured and the agency does not have anything emergency and the passengers had to change it.

Visiting the beaches is worth the trip, but it's not very easy to enjoy spending 20 minutes at each one, taking a boat there and back to the shore. Furthermore, lunch is a huge disaster... It's in a very popular restaurant, where we sit with strangers and there's endless shouting, a desperation to accommodate everyone - and it's totally overpriced... There wasn't even a knife at hand. disposition. We arrived at 5pm for lunch, having to leave at 6pm!!! That part was pretty unhealthy.
The guide was also not very friendly, being quite rude at several times. It felt like he was doing us a favor, being that the experience was well paid for what it is.
The boat staff, Jagau, was quite pleasant. In general, it's really only worth it to visit Arraial do Cabo.

Ilha grande tour
I was extremely disappointed to see how disorganised and environmental-UNfriendly this tour was.
DO NOT waste your time and money on the Ilha Grande tour in Brazil, during which they will take you around the island to stop at a few beaches and snorkelling areas FULL of visitors with cans of beer at hand and throwing the last bit of their cigarettes in the ocean. No comments made at all by the staff.
You will sail on a boat with extremely loud commercial music all the way, and stop to eat on a small beach with its own little mountain of plastic and garbage flying everywhere and in the ocean.
The bus arrived late in the morning and dropped us off at 9.30pm instead of 7.30pm. Over all, we spent more time on the bus than out there sailing.
This is really sad for the environment, especially Brazil which has such a wonderful biodiversity and open, wild spaces that people are slowly killing.
I am fully aware that this is also an issue of behaviour and selfishness from tourists themselves, but touring companies have a responsibility in all of this as well to educate people about the environment they are taking them to, and make sure that basic requirements to respect nature are in place.
The guides are nice and friendly, but we were truly appalled by the evident lack of consideration for the environment and will never look at their offers ever again.

The waters were beautiful but this long tour was way too short. Travelled 2.5 hours one way just to stop at the first beach for TWENTY minutes, and second beach for ONE hour, the THIRD "beach" or "stop" was a 15 minute jump in open water from the boat if you wanted to. Lunch was a very crowded and public buffet, all drinks and shrimp/food offered on the boat you paid for. I would definitely skip the "third stop" and spend more time on the beaches.

On a normal day maybe this is a good tour but we did it during the carnavale with no knowledge of how the festivities will affect the tour.
The organisation was really bad. Though pick up was 7am, we were told to get to the location at 6:20am. We spent more than half of the day in a bus sat in traffic. When we realised we were still only an hour from Copacabana after 4 hours of driving, we asked the tour guide to turn back but her boss apparently didn't let her.
We ended up spending over 6 hours in traffic and arrived at arrial do cabo super late. When we got there, the sun was about to set and it was getting dark. The tour guide asked us to pay extra for entry even though nothing of this was mentioned when we booked. We were so tired that most of us didn't get off the boat at the second beach stop and since it was already super dark we skipped the third stop on the itinerary altogether. We had "lunch" at about 8:30pm and got back to Rio at past midnight. The whole day gone and most of it spent sitting on a bus
Waste of time, waste of money. Two things you don't want to waste on holiday.

Firstly, shoutout to the tour guide - Monica. She was being very accommodative and understanding towards everyone during this trip from the toilet break up until we are on the boat. No one was left behind.
The journey was properly planned and everything went smoothly. Pick up - 1 hour ride - toilet break - another 1 hour - arrived at the jetty - took the boat and did the tour.
The experience was amazing especially when the crowd is so joyful. The boat has a minibar where everyone can purchase drinks and food. Reasonable amount of time was allocated to each stop.
It was a good trip!
