What To Expect

Get picked up in the morning from your Rio de Janeiro hotel in the city’s downtown and southern tourist zones, after which you’ll drive around two hours to reach Brazil’s “Costa Verde” region.

You’ll arrive in the port city of Angra dos Reis and board a boat to begin your exploration of this coastal paradise. Spend the rest of the day enjoying the sun-drenched tropical vibes of the Bay’s collection of more than 300 offshore islands. Stop by Ilha Grande, the most famous of the bunch, to enjoy its crystal-clear waters and postcard-perfect beaches.

Then visit Ilha de Cataguases, known for its unique topography, and stop by Lagoa Azul, known to be one of the finest diving locations in the region. Many underwater explorers report the area is home to a variety of starfish, squid, colorful fish, and coral. The trip will make two additional stops in Freguesia de Santana, an island with an agricultural history that dates back to colonial times, and Praia de Japariz, another isle known for its scenic beaches.

At the end of your trip you’ll return to share and transfer back to your hotel in Rio de Janeiro.

Super trip day
MaraJos_M, Dec 2023
Very beautiful places and so many stops. The tour picked up and dropped off in our hotel. This is important.
Amazing sights with an emphasis on fun
Alison_B, Nov 2022
Beautiful stops. Plenty of time for swimming and walking. The boat ride was fun, although it had quite the party boat theme, so perhaps not as catered to some of the elderly guests as it got quire noisy at times. It didn't bother me personally, but if you're not looking to drink and mingle you might steer towards a quieter tour.
Over all it was a good trip. Just...

Over all it was a good trip. Just not for me. I like to be more independent and get a chance to explore more on my own. I felt like I wasted a day and $90 to not really see anything. Not an experience I haven't had before! But hey, why complain, I'm in Brazil!
La destination est...
Nathalie_P, Jan 2023
La destination est magnifique mais l'organisation vraiment à revoir...nous avons passé 2h!!!! à récupérer des personnes dans les différents hôtels uniquement de Copacabana !!!! Le trajet entre les hôtels doit être optimisé...du coup nous n'avons passé que 30 mn dans 2 îles! Il faudrait faire 3 arrêts et non 4.
