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.
