Ilha Grande has been a national park since 2002, no roads, no cars, no high-rises. Just Atlantic Forest, coral reefs, and 102 beaches. This schooner cruise gets you to the best of them.
-
Picked up from your hotel in Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, or Leme, the coach handles the ~3-hour road leg to Conceição de Jacareí, then the schooner takes over.
-
The Blue Lagoon is the kind of natural pool that stops people mid-sentence, starfish on the seabed, corals, and fish in water calm enough to float in with a pool noodle.
-
Two swim stops (Cataguás Island and Japariz Beach) plus a pass by Freguesia de Santana, home to the oldest church in Angra dos Reis, built in 1843 and sitting right on the waterfront.
