-
Brazil has a Caribbean — it's called Arraial do Cabo, and this schooner cruise is the only way to see it properly: turquoise water, no crowds, a 19th-century lighthouse on the horizon.
-
Picked up from your hotel in Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, or Barra da Tijuca — no logistics, no Google Maps, just show up and go.
-
Forty minutes at Ilha do Farol to swim and snorkel in some of the clearest water on Brazil's Atlantic coast.
-
Sail past Gruta Azul's shockingly blue grotto, Fenda de Nossa Senhora's cliff-shrine, and drop anchor at Praia do Forno for a second swim.
-
A live-commentary guide fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish keeps the whole 14-hour day interesting — and a local buffet lunch is there if you want it.
