Highlights
- Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia - Also known as “Prainhas”, it is divided in two, separated by rocks (at high tide, turns one). To reach the calm, transparent and perfect waters for bathing, you have to face a wooden staircase of 255 steps, that leaves the hill of Atalaia.
- Farol Beach - A great star of Arraial do Cabo, Praia do Farol is one of the most beautiful in the whole of the Lakes Region and, without exaggeration, all over Brazil. It has gained fame especially for being classified by INPE (National Institute of Space Research) as one of the most perfect beaches of the country, following criteria of water purity, sand quality and landscape. Fame has spread and today Praia do Farol is one of the must-see tours in Arraial do Cabo.
- Gruta do Amor - The Blue Grotto is part of the boat trip that leads to Praia do Farol. The rock formation is just one of many natural beauties on the route that passes through the Island of Cabo Frio. The whole course in the open sea is beautiful, with impressive water tones. The Blue Grotto is just one of the beautiful moments, which still count with the waves that break fiercely against the rocks.
- Crevice of Our Lady of Assumption - A crack between rocks, with the image of a saint in the middle.
Legends of fishermen who found her at sea and put her as protector of the city there, or legends of couples kissing in front of the image to perpetuate the love, are some stories that probably the guide will tell on the tour.
- Forno Beach - The hidden trail at the end of Praia dos Anjos leads to one of the most incredible paradises of Arraial do Cabo. The effort of the ascent will be quickly rewarded by sight seeing that allows a paradisiacal view of the city. Praia do Forno is one of the main cards of Arraial do Cabo and is not for less. The colorful water in the cove and the strip of white sand surrounded by the lush vegetation form a scenery worthy of many photos.

Excellent tour - The experience was great, everything was very well coordinated and for those of us who do not understand Portuguese, he took the time to explain the tour in Spanish.
In addition, it gives several tips to have an incredible memory 10/10

Spectacular ride - We thought it was an incredible tour, the trip, the landscapes and the kindness of the people on the excursion. The guide Juliana Schramm is excellent, a very professional, charismatic, friendly and knowledgeable person. The boat that took us to the beaches called "Rose of the Winds" is well equipped and the crew has very good treatment with tourists, the lunch at the restaurant (unfortunately I don't remember the name) where they took us was exquisite, it was buffet, lots of variety of dishes and could be repeated and finally it is important to recognize the bus driver, an excellent person and very professional in his job.

Arraial is a paradise! - Arraial is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to in my life, a spectacle of nature.
I took 3 tours with this same company and the one in Arraial was, without a shadow of a doubt, the best.
My special praise goes to the guide Juliana who is outstanding!!! Super intelligent, helpful, polite, provides relevant information, knows about the history of the place and teaches us a lot. The entire time she spoke Portuguese, Spanish and English perfectly, serving everyone on the tour.
Everything went well on the bus, comfortable seats, up-to-date air conditioning, pay attention to the road, good driving.
Magnificent, welcoming and attentive boat staff. Wonderful service.

Tremendous ride!! - Excellent ride! Our guide Juliana was the best. I may not remember some details exactly because I made the trip on Monday and I was in Rio all week. But this was the first walk I took when I arrived and it was worth the trip. First of all, very punctual. They told me 7.25 and 7.20 were there. We went to look for other passengers, the vehicle was a fairly comfortable and safe bus, with cup holder belts, and a small bag on the side for trash. I went with my 9 year old son. We started the trip which in total lasted 2 and a half hours, in the middle we made a stop for a bathroom. We arrived in Arraial and went to board, the boat was nice and with drinks, soft drinks, free water, food, bathroom, very nice. We saw Gorilla Rock, a rock where a meteorite apparently fell and other things where you saw beautiful transparent water with unparalleled landscapes. They stop you a few meters from the beaches where you have to get on a boat to get to the shore, they have life jackets although in my opinion there is no danger. If I remember wrong, they took us off at 3 beautiful beaches, any of the 3. Before leaving they let you go down a slide into the sea, everything was very nice. When we returned we passed through a free fork, correct, it was neither good nor bad for my taste. I forgot to clarify that at all times Juliana said everything in English, Portuguese and Spanish. A genius, and always answering all questions with good disposition. On the way back we made the same stop to go to the bathroom and they dropped you off at the door of the hotel. I'm sure I'm missing details but I think the most important thing is there. I recommend this ride, we got 10 points with my son!

THE EXPERIENCE WAS A HELL - Hello!
Terrible experience, I don't recommend it at all.
The agency irresponsibly allows tourists to drink alcohol in the Van.
I took the tour to Buzios with them and the experience ended tragically.
There was a Brazilian couple drinking whiskey on the bus constantly going and returning.
Returning to the city, this couple continued drinking, wetting the passengers and listening to music at full volume.
It is a 3 hour trip there and 3 hours back.
They made all the passengers live hell, they became aggressive, they did not listen to the guide because of their alcohol level and they attacked me and 2 other people.
I was seriously injured, the agency never took care of it.
They should have banned alcohol on the bus and taken measures in time, since the experience ended badly.
I do not recommend it at all, especially for those traveling with children, it is a danger.
