    Solo traveler to "Brazilian Caribbean" with bus and party boat

    Ren_P, Apr 2024
    I booked this trip through Viator as a solo traveler and was already prepared for what to expect, from the meeting point pickup, to air-conditioned coach bus, to the 3 hour bus ride to get to the boat, to the 25 BRL shared taxi fees to/from the docks and back to the coach bus, to the recommendation of carrying some spending money in cash to buy snacks and drinks on the party boat, to the final buffet late-lunch (or early dinner), and to the final return to Rio around 9pm. I was also aware of the tour being primarily in dual Portuguese and Spanish, which means that if you require English speaking tour guide, yu must request one specifically (but since I speak Spanish, no issues for me). So I had a great time and the weather was perfect and everything went accordingly as expected. Good communication from the tour provider. Definitely recommend! Thanks!

    Not that good...

    Karla_G, Apr 2023
    The tour wasn't offered in English so I did not understand all of the instructions. The guide could not figure out payments and asked me for money multiple times that I already paid. The tour felt rushed. No time to enjoy any of the beaches, but all of the operators seem to do the same thing to be fair. Lunch was actually dinner. Bring snacks! The boat was not as nearly fun as the others. No slide. I would not book again.

    Long drive for a beach

    It is a beautiful place but the tour guide does not speak English as mentioned. The water is cold and visibility was poor so didn't really see any fish

    Response from Host, Jan 2023

    Good morning! I'm glad you liked the place! Your feedback is very valuable to us! The only thing we don't remember is in our guide. our guide speaks English well.
