This full-day tour from Rio de Janeiro includes a schooner boat trip around Arraial do Cabo, often called the Brazilian Caribbean for its clear waters. After pickup from main hotels in Copacabana, Leme, Ipanema, and Leblon, the group travels by air-conditioned vehicle to Arraial do Cabo on the Costa do Sol. The boat tour features several stops where passengers can swim, snorkel, and take photos. These stops include Ilha do Farol, where there is a 40-minute swim break, and Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia with a 20-minute pause for panoramic views. The tour also pauses briefly at Gruta Azul, Fenda de Nossa Senhora, and Pedra Perfil do Gorila for photo opportunities. The last swim stop is at Praia do Forno, allowing 20 minutes to enjoy the water and scenery. Lunch is served at a local buffet restaurant in Arraial do Cabo and is included with the full option; drinks are not included. A bilingual guide provides commentary during land transportation in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, though there is no bilingual guide on the boat. The tour lasts about 14 hours and includes roundtrip transfers, the boat tour, and a local guide. Snorkeling gear can be rented on board. Boarding fees must be paid in cash at the marina for passengers aged six and older.
