Overview

This full-day tour lasting about 14 hours takes place by bus and boat with a professional bilingual guide. Transportation is provided by a bus licensed by the tourism office, followed by a schooner ride through the islands near Angra dos Reis and Grand Island. The tour starts at Cais Turistico de Santa Luzia, the main departure point for island tours, where visitors see the traditional fishing boats and waterfront. The boat stops first at Freguesia de Santana Beach, a calm beach favored by fishermen with golden sand and transparent water, where visitors can relax for about half an hour. Next, the schooner visits Lagoa Azul, a lagoon with Caribbean-colored water popular for swimming and snorkeling, with about one hour to enjoy. After that, the tour continues to Aracatibinha Beach, a small, quiet spot surrounded by rocks and native forest, offering an hour to rest or swim. Then the boat reaches Lagoa Verde on Ilha Grande, a natural aquarium with marine species including fish, corals, and sea turtles, visible from the water. Lunch is served at Praia de Japariz at a local restaurant. Guests can choose their meal before arriving via a menu passed on the boat. The buffet includes fried fish, fried chicken, beans, rice, salads, mashed vegetables, and pasta. Lunch is scheduled between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM to avoid seasickness during the boat ride. Throughout the tour, there are opportunities to swim, take photographs, and observe marine life and coral reefs. The tour includes lunch, transportation, the schooner ride, and the guide, but excludes snorkeling equipment, drinks and snacks on the boat, and photography services. Admission fees are not included. Lifeguards are on board for emergencies, and life jackets for recreational use require an extra fee.
