Head out of Rio for the day, where a schooner awaits to take you on a cruise of the turquoise blue waters. Meet the islands of Angra dos Reis and the Unesco World Heritage site of Ilha Grande with several stops for swimming including the blue Lagoon and Gipóia Island where you will stop for a delicious lunch. With roundtrip hotel transportation and a buffet lunch included, a day of relaxation lies ahead.

This tour was extremely long for no reason. In addition to our full tour bus the boat ride also boards a bunch of other people who buy tickets at the boarding location. This created an extra wait. The boat was overcrowded and it was not a comfortable ride. Snorkeling gear is an additional charge and not included. Drinks at lunch were an additional charge. I still can’t understand how a beverage juice or water was not included. And lastly not much during the snorkeling just some colorful fish definitely not worth the time or money.

The boat ride was great and the staff were wonderful. Only issue was the long bus ride. Almost three hours each way. Started at 7 AM and got back at 11 PM. But the boat ride was a lot of fun.

The information for this trip states that the journey time is 2 and a half hours from South Rio. It does not mention that there was another one and a half hours of collecting others from hotels. So after pick up from hotel at 0730 we did not get on to the boat until 11:30. A total time of four hours. It also stated that the group size would be a maximum of forty people. There were 44 on the bus and a total of 86 on the boat, which made for a very crowded trip. Not the relaxing trip portrayed.
Once on the boat, inspire of being told in the literature that snorkel and goggle hire was 20 reals per person we were charged 30 each.
The scenery was fine, inspite of the weather. The blue lagoon was nice ,but very busy.
Our final issue was with the "Barbecue" lunch. This was a mass buffet style hot food meal with the most revolting food I have EVER eaten. It was quite clear that the restaurant providing this service was profiteering and producing what can only be described as "slop".
Hugely unimpressed with this tour and NOT worth the money spent.

Please do not book with them they are a scam. We had a reservation with this company for ilha grande. Turns out they are selling a tour that is typically $20USD for $130USD. They kept changing the location and when we arrived the day off to take the tour no one at the location knew anything of this reservation. We asked for an English guide and there was no one there to help us. We bought the same tour at the island for $20USD per person. Definitely travel to Ilha Grande just not with them.

Andra dos Reis is a wonderful place to visit, the scenary will take your breath away.
I wouldn't recommend this tour at all unless you speak Portuguese or you can understand Portuguese, you will feel lost for the full day and no one will care or try.
The boat was too packed and it was uncomfortable.
The guide was friendly and lovely, and the food at the buffet was great!!

It was a pretty fun day, just very long. The boat was great and the bar was cheap with the exchange rate from USD.

Guide was very funny and good, though did not really assist us with the language barrier once on board the boat.
We was not told of 3 hour journey on coach each way to the port. We felt it was a long hot day. Part of our party was not good swimmers and felt that if organised better we could of got off the boat more. Food on board and in restaurant was very good.

The weather was appalling but the tour organiser was excellent and managed to keep us all entertained in very difficult conditions. The boat trip was a wash out through no fault of the organisers who were excellent in every way.

This trip was excellent - although it was a long bus ride to get there Tanya the guide made it very entertaining and the time passed quickly. The boat trip was great with stops for beach, swimming and snorkelling and there were lots of colourful fish. The lunch was great in a very beautiful location. All in all a lovely day and we would recommend this trip.
