Unique experience - The boat tour is mandatory in Búzios, the experience is unique to you being on a boat in the open sea. The dives also, even knowing nothing but to see the water transparent and beautiful. The boat is very good, the crew are friendly. I'll do it again.

A long day and wonderful day in Buzios! - This was a very good excursion! I must warn you though, it is a long day with many stops! I woke up at 5:40am and drove to the meeting point at 6:50am. Then we drove around to picked up all the other passengers. We had quick stop on the way to Buzios for snacks and restroom break. We arrived in Buzios at 12:45pm and had a buffet lunch. If you eat quickly, you can go on a quick walk around the Buzios area. At 1:45pm we went on a boat tour, which has 3 stops. The first stop is snorkeling, it costs about 35 Reais to get the snorkeling gear. You are allowed to free swim if you don't want to snorkel. We left Buzios at 5pm and I was the last drop off so I made it back to Rio at 9pm. I then had a 30min drive back to my hotel. The sights are beautiful! The boat ride was beautiful as well. My tour guide was amazing!

Ehhh - It was ok but not worth the price. I should’ve done some research before going. We went on a charter bus and the drive was about 3 hours. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was nice. The first stop on the boat tour was about 40 minutes and the snorkel guides were amazing and patient! The other two stops were not 40 minutes as stated, they were about 20 minutes give or take. The tour was also in Portuguese so I had no idea what was going on at times. The captain was the one who was doing the talking and not the actual guide….like I said it was ok but not worth the price for the tour. It felt rushed in my opinion.

Good. - As for the tour it was super cute and took advantage of every stop. The only thing that would change is the transfer, since it was on a bus that was driven by a super irresponsible person and moved a lot.
Outside of that, everything excellent

Bad. - I found it very picturesque, but the beaches I did not like the cold water saved in tartaruga , a lot to walk to go to the beaches, I had the possibility of being in Maceió and it is totally something else, you can walk on those wide beaches and the warm water, anyway I did not like.
Thank you.

You get nothing for what you pay - Absolutely ridiculous. By buying this ticket you've basically paid for nothing. We brought our own goggles to go snorkeling because we did not want to pay to rent them. Well they make you pay extra to be allowed into the snorkeling area. The picture of the fish you see here is not what you get with this tour. You get nothing. With the area we were allowed to be in you could not see an single animal. Also the stops this boat takes are about 10 feet away from each other and you are there for hardly anytime at all. We were maybe in the water for a total of an hour after all of that driving was not worth it at all. Also people working, mostly the photographer, were incredibly rude. We were trying to sit on the net at the top of the boat to get something for all the money we paid and even though we were there first she kicked us off so she could take up the entire time taking pictures of people who weren't even enjoying the view and were just there for pictures. We also booked an English tour because that is the only language we speak. The driver who picked us up spoke english but they did not come on the boat. No one on the boat spoke english so we were never given directions we could understand which was extremely confusing and frustrating. All together we had a terrible time with several things being absolutely ridiculous and I could not recommend more that you do not waste your time or money with this tour. If you do you are giving your whole entire day away just to be in the water for maybe an hour with rude people. Completely not worth it!!

Lousy timing planning - The departure of the tour from Rio de Janeiro was too late (9:15am), knowing that the trip would take 3 hours, we made an unnecessary stop that already delayed us 30 minutes to the time we were supposed to arrive. Considering the high influx of people, we took almost 5 hours to reach divers, so the itinerary of the trip had to change. We had lunch, and at 3.30pm we got on the catamaran (the only good thing about the trip). We didn't have time to tour divers or make purchases... 19.30 hrs we set off on the return trip, where we had another stop of almost an hour in a bus terminal, stench bath, etc., arriving at 1.30 in the morning, with only a meal in the body. The complaint is that the weather was not planned, if it is known that it is high season, the tour should depart earlier.
