From Rio: Angra dos Reis Full-Day Tour with Schooner Cruise

Name: From Rio: Angra dos Reis Full-Day Tour with Schooner Cruise
Start: 2026-10-14T07:30:00

Location: Rio de Janeiro

Angra dos Reis sits where the Atlantic meets 365 islands, one for every day of the year. This schooner cruise hits the best of them, starting with Ilha Grande's legendary shoreline.

Picked up from your South Zone hotel and driven 165 kilometres to the Costa Verde coast, air-conditioned the whole way, professional trilingual guide on board.

Two swim stops that earn their place: calm, electric-blue water at the Botinas Islands, then the Blue Lagoon, a natural pool alive with starfish and reef fish where snorkelling is the only agenda.

Araçá Beach is the quiet one: small, sheltered, ringed by native Atlantic Forest. Then Flechas Beach closes out the day with a long swim and time to eat before the drive home.

No lunch included, but that's the point. Flechas Beach has local food, cold drinks, and no rush. Better than any packed meal on a boat.
