Highlights
  • Tartaruga Beach - Formed by two portions of sand separated by a beautiful stone path, Praia da Tartaruga combines beauty with good infrastructure. The place is excellent for family.

Praia da Tartaruga differs from the others located in the Center of Búzios for not having houses or hotels obstructing the landscape for nature.

  • Azeda Beach - With calm and crystalline waters, sheltered, good for diving. Its access is made on foot, from Praia dos Ossos. A colonial style house makes this beach the postcard of Búzios. In its continuation is Praia Azedinha.
  • Joao Fernandes Beach - Located at the northeast tip of the Búzios Peninsula, in front of Ilha Branca, where the rocky shores of the peninsula are found, they have a joint extension of approximately 800m. They are frequented mainly by South American tourists, with movement throughout the year.

They have calm, blue and transparent waters, their sands are clear and fine, ideal for bathing in addition to the practice of water sports such as free diving, kayaking and stand up.

  • Praia dos Ossos - This small beach is neighboring Praia da Armação, Praia dos Ossos is 1.5 km from the Center of Búzios. It received this name, because of the whale bones that were buried there, when fishing for these animals was still allowed, a fact that occurred in the region from 1730 to about 1816.

The cove has incredible scenery, framed by an incredible view and small colorful boats, in addition to the Church of Sant’Ana on top of a hill, this church was built in 1740. From there, the trail that leads to the paradisiacal Azeda and Azedinha Beaches starts. This small and important beach is almost mandatory for tourists who want to take nautical tours in the region.

Praia dos Ossos is the starting point for several excursions to visit islands and beaches in Búzios. Boat trips are one of the biggest attractions in the region.

  • Virgens Beach - It is a small, deserted beach that still retains its native vegetation. It is only accessible on foot at low tide, through narrow trails that depart from Praia do Canto or through Praia da Tartaruga. It has beautiful stretches of sand. Really worth a visit, especially for those who like a unique landscape.

Schooner ride, secret coves, & Rua das Pedras: Exploring Buzios paradise! - Beach magic and totally budget-friendly. From pickup to drop-off, everything was comfy and chill - just let the gorgeous views wash over you. Our guide kept sharing interesting facts about Buzios' and Rio de janeiro highlighing the important landscapes all along the way as we passed them. The schooner ride was amazing as we got to dive into the crystal-clear turquoise waters and staff on board was really entertaining and made the whole 3 hours pure joy. I really enjoyed the lunch buffet it was very delicious and good thing that's included in the price. Back on land, we had sufficient time to stroll down Rua das Pedras, the vibrant main street buzzing with shops and local charm. If you're looking for a fun, informative, and stress-free way to discover Buzios, this trip is your answer! They made this coastal gem shine even brighter.

Beautiful destination. - Buzios is a beautiful destination and I enjoyed the scenery and some of the folks we travelled with. The bus ride was long, but beyond control of the operator. Our tour guide was fine, spoke three languages and kept the announcements to a minimum which I appreciated. Lunch was mediocre, I would have preferred to pay a little less and eat at one of the many, many great restaurants in Buzios.

A Blissful Escape in Paradise! - I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tour in Búzios, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. The pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture of this charming Brazilian town left me utterly enchanted. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we explored all the hidden gems Búzios has to offer. The highlight for me was the sunset cruise – a magical experience I'll cherish forever. Five stars don't do justice to this unforgettable journey!

Amazing day in Buzios! - I was a little weary at first because the tour guide did not speak much English. Kari did her best and everything worked out. Long day of travel but worth it. Was an awesome day experiencing what Buzios. Wish I had been able to stay out there a few nights.

Boat trip in Búzios - From picking up at the agreed point, to the end, a very good walk: the guides are very prepared and concerned about each of the tourists, in addition to an excellent selection of places in Búzios to visit in just a few hours. Special and honorable mention to the staff at the restaurant where we had lunch.

It's Ok - This is a hard one, although Buzios is nice and fun. The town is cute. The experience of getting there and returning kills the whole trip. The day is 15-16 hours long depending on when you get picked up and dropped off. Bus time -- 1.25 hours picking people up, 1.25 hours dropping them, off, 3 hours to Buzios, 3 hours return.Time in Buzios about 6.5 hours. The food they give you is borderline inedible. The people running it are great. They should just have a better process to handle that many people in so many hotels. One central location for pick up and dropoff? Let every one walk, taxi or Uber where they need to come from and go after that. This is not particular to this group running the tour. Many other tours have similar logistics.
