Additional Information

We start with a prompt pickup in Rio de Janeiro, heading towards Angra dos Reis. Angra, in Portuguese, translates to ‘small bay’ - an apt moniker considering it forms a part of a larger sprawl of bays and myriad islands. Our tour takes us to the most renowned and magnificent amongst these islands - the Ilha Grande. Upon reaching Angra dos Reis, we progress directly to the harbour, preparing for a boat journey amidst the island chain of Ilha Grande. We halt at three distinct locations for a swim, some snorkeling, admiring the stunning islands, observing the transparent water, and appreciating the lush green hues of the Atlantic rainforests. If luck is on our side, we might sight some turtles and a variety of fish. The boat trip includes a lunch stop. The tour includes the tour guide, lunch (excluding drinks and desserts), round trip transfer, and boat tour.

Great boating experience - We were picked up in a luxury bus, there was a lot of travel on this trip so this made it very comfy. The boat was a real treat to, an old world wooden boat to ship us around to the islands. It was essentially a party boat with very loud music. The islands and beaches were great, enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic tour - Wonderful experience. The beaches are beautiful, the diving with the fish is beyond words. The guide Léo was very attentive and friendly. Lunch is late, after 3:30 pm, but we were warned. Nice food.

Great Tour of Ilha Grande - This was an absolutely fantastic tour. The bus was a little late but the group was in communication with us about the delay and they picked us up right from our hotel. The tour itself was fantastic with each beach location offering something new. The food was better than expected as well and the staff was very kind and accommodating. By the time it was over I felt like I had gotten the right value for what I paid and I felt fulfilled by the experience given.

Awesome views, great vive, a bit crowded. - Leo was the best guide, he made sure we understood and enjoy our trip. The boat was a bit overcrowded, but the views are espectacular, the music was authentic so where all the crew at the "Aconchego IV" "kudos" for their hard work and for making our experience great.

A Memorable Experience - It was an awesome trip. I recommend the visit and commend the tour guides for an excellent work. The day started with a pick-up, filled by the boat ride. The sea adventures and stops were cool and the lunch was well organized.

Average tour of a stunning place - The trip was generally good, however the food was terrible and “lunch” was not served until 4pm. Also, drinks are not included, our guide did not speak English and explained nothing in English unless we asked (and then it was poor), there was only one beach stop for half an hour and the journey was over 2 hours longer than we expected. That said, the staff were excellent and the trip was generally enjoyable. The island and scenery were beautiful. It’s a long day with minimal interaction with the beach.

Huge disappointment - Not as described. Bus took 4.5 hrs to get to Angra dos Reis from pick up. Boat was overcrowded with loud booming "club" music. Lunch was in a cafe on the beach not on the boat. Uncovered food swarming with flies 🤢. No safety instructions given un English on the boat. Not recommended

Bad choice - It was a real disaster. The tour was in Spanish, the guide spoke in Portuguese, the little he spoke and explained, we never went to Angra, we waited 90 minutes for the boat, they gave us lunch at 4:00 p.m. and the food was impossible to eat, horrible. They made me lose a day of my vacation!!!!
