About 170 km away from the - Zona Sul - of Rio, I want to guide you to discover Arraial do Cabo. The town is located in the - Lake Region - and is known as - the Caribbean of Brazil - for the crystal clear waters of its sea. It recently saw its Pontal beach in Atalaia awarded as one of the most beautiful in the world. To demonstrate this, I limit myself to quoting the comment that Amerigo Vespucci wrote when he arrived in this region: "if an earthly paradise exists in the world, it must undoubtedly not be very far from these places". I propose a fantastic boat tour during which we will stop to get to know the best points of this paradise, which you really can't miss when coming on holiday to Rio de Janeiro! Attention: the transfer from Rio de Janeiro to Arraial do Cabo will be made by private car, while the boat tour is shared with other tourists. The boat has a capacity of approximately 100 people and is equipped with toilets and a bar with a small restaurant service.

Great Tour Guide in Rio

Thank you Augusto!!

Augusto was such a great tour guide for our first Rio trip. He was knowledgeable, caring and very engaging. His English is fantastic and he was kind enough to switch between English and PT since we had varying levels of fluency. We also really appreciated both the customizability and his input since we were experiencing a rainy Rio day. Overall, a fantastic experience

Great birthday treat

What a great day out .Lorraine and our driver really made the day special. The weather helped I suppose. Pick up was bang on time even though we had to make our own way there, the coach was spotless and very comfortable. The trip was for my birthday and it was certainly made special by everyone.

Great Day Trip

This is a nice little boat getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of Rio for a day. The bus picked us up right in front of our hotel and it was about a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the boat location. The bus was very comfortable and allowed you to rest. On the way there, we were able choose optional activities (for a fee). I chose to jet ski and have my picture taken with the fishes. The prices were very reasonable. The actual boat was 3 decks and spacious enough to fit around 40 people comfortably. There was good music playing and a fully stocked bar to purchase drinks. There were 4 different spots where we were able to do the activities and swim in the ocean if we wanted. Stop 3 is where we were served lunch. It was buffet style with a decent selection of options. We did have to pay for drinks and dessert if you wanted them. After the last stop, we were able to catch a beautiful sunset over the ocean. We were dropped off at our hotel around 8pm. The experience was definitely worth the money.

Issac was an excellent...

Issac was an excellent guide and despite my dad and I being the only 2 English speakers on the trip, he did his best to keep us included and felt welcome. The trip was very organized. Lunch was delicious. Every stop was done with enough time to enjoy it well. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone visiting Rio without much time in their stay.
