Búzios is the Brazilian peninsula that Brigitte Bardot discovered in 1964 and never stopped talking about, this catamaran cruise is how you see why, sailing past 12 beaches and islands in three hours.

A modern catamaran with an onboard DJ, hotel pickup from Copacabana or Ipanema, and a buffet lunch already in the price, this is a full day out with exactly zero logistics to figure out.

Two proper swim stops: 30 minutes in the Coral Park waters off João Fernandes Beach, then 30 more at Feia Island, snorkel masks are available to rent on board.

After the cruise, walk the Bardot Promenade past the famous Brigitte Bardot statue, then loose yourself in Rua das Pedras, Búzios' main strip of restaurants, bars, and boutiques.

A live-commentary guide fluent in three languages keeps the whole 14-hour day interesting from the Rio pickup to the evening return.
