Review of the Angra dos Reis boat trip from Rio, with island stops, snorkeling, buffet lunch, hotel transfers, costs, and practical tips.

“Leo was a great guide. This trip would be better if you had more time on the islands you have about 30-40 minutes for each island . One of them you have an hour but because you eat there. Maybe less islands for more time. Other than that guide was great, boat crew was great, food was not the best but definitely worth checking out the islands.”

Review of the Arraial do Cabo day trip from Rio, with boat stops, Farol Island, lunch, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.

“No vale mucho la pena, mejor tomen un transfer y allá mismo contratan un barco pequeño que los saque de paseo o incluso quedarse una noche. El tour no es malo pero tiene demasiados tiempos muertos, grupo demasiado grande y finalmente disfrutando del barco y las playas no es mas de 2 a 3 hrs en total. Salimos puntual a las 7 am, fuimos recogiendo un grupo de aprox 35 personas en bus por todo rio, llegar recien a las 12. 00, taxi, almuerzo, esperar subir al barco recién a las 3.30pm porq el puerto rebalsa de gente (a mi gusto muy tarde para disfrutar el día considerando que a…”

Schooner ride with or without Lunch Included – Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande

9.Schooner ride with or without Lunch Included – Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 132 reviews · from $12Best value

Review of the Angra dos Reis schooner trip to Ilha Grande, with snorkeling, beaches, lunch options, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Passeio básico para quem vai a Angra, pelo preço vale a pena e você consegue mergulha e curtir um pouco a praia. Porém, levem lanches. No barco a única opção de compra era fandangos e o preço do almoço (se não estiver incluso) é absurdo. Um prato simples de filé de frango com batatas fritas é 170 reais, e não há outra opção para se alimentar. De resto, o passeio vale a pena.”

“Ainda não acabou mas foi o horror da minha vida tenho 71 anos, já viajei pelo mundo todo. 10 vezes no Brasil e nunca tive uma guia tão horrível, como mandei mensagem devido a um atraso de 1 hora a senhora RAQUEL péssima guia quando chegou e depois de lhe dizer que não me avisaram do atraso, simplesmente me mandou sair do bus, dizendo que seria uma pena eu continuar (somos 4 pessoas de 72, 71, 72e 74 anos chamou-me por imensas vezes merda de portugueses, vocês são uma merda.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 118 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $40

Review of the Angra dos Reis day tour from Rio, covering boat stops, lunch, long transfers, value, weather, and who should book.

“First if all they canceled our tour and didn't notify us about it. I reached out on WhatsApp and found out when they were late for pick up from the hotel. They offered another tour to Buzios, we agreed because we didn't have anything else scheduled. Absolutely uneventful trip. The time on the bus absolutely was not worth the trip. This trip was supposed to include a boat ride but they just canceled it and didn't offer anything instead. We had booked multiple tours with thus operator and we canceled our last tour because of this poorly managed trip. All we basically did 5 hour drive to Buzios (including pick…”

Review of Rio’s Guanabara Bay cruise, with Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer views, hotel transfers, barbecue lunch option, and practical tips.

“We chose to not get the seafood lunch and since our flight out of Rio was scheduled for later in the day, we were anxious when the boat was late and then they sent the wrong boat to the dock. The delays surpassed 30 minutes, but thankfully our guide he told us to call him John the Baptist yelled at the boat operators and got them to shave off 15 minutes of the boat ride without us missing any of it. We got back to our hotel by 12pm as was promised. Thanks John! As for actual sightseeing, it's a nice way to either start or finish your time in…”

Review of Rio’s Ilha Grande boat tour, with Blue Lagoon swims, beach stops, lunch, transport details, costs, and practical booking advice.

“Infame. 4 h de bus : 1h30 pour récupérer tout le monde à son hôtel et 2h30 de route, qui n’était pas prévues au programme. Ensuite, un bateau inconfortable, bondé, avec musique,m à tus tête comme en boîte de nuits , impossible de se détendre, des plages sales, des bateaux qui se klaxonnent entre eux, un restaurant ignoble, des arrêts à certaines plages injustifiés, pour sauter dans une eaux huileuse des déjections de moteurs, . Bref, une catastrophe.”
