Full description
Enjoy an early morning pickup from Rio and relax on the 3-hour drive to the city of Arraial do Cabo. A quick pit-stop on the road is made to stretch the legs, have a bathroom break, and buy a snack. Explore the Arraial sea which is special for a very particular reason. In the region, there is the phenomenon of a resurgence, which brings to the surface deep waters rich in marine life. The abundance of food turns Arraial into one of the best diving spots in the country, with clear waters and lots of life. Leave the bus upon arrival in the docks of Arraial do Cabo and hop on the schooner. Enjoy a schooner ride through the best beaches of Arraial do Cabo. Marvel at the waters in shades of green and blue, ready for a swim. Explore 4 different stops in places like the Forno beach, the Praia do Farol, or famous Atalaia beach. Take in the panoramic view of the Blue Groot, a hidden cave with deep blue water. Revel at the crystal-clear water and white sands before leaving the boat to have a buffet lunch.

Star rating:

I strongly recommend the tour if you want to get to know Arraial do Cabo from Rio de Janeiro. The guide will pick you up from the hotel at the agreed time (no delays) and accompany you throughout the day. 5* boat trip and lunch included in one of the city's restaurants after the tour ends (lunch around 4-5 pm). The beaches of Arraial do Cabo are quite touristy. Please note that the boat ride is only approx. 4 hours. The rest of the time is spent traveling there, picking up/dropping people off at hotels in RJ and having lunch.

We had considered a 3 hour trip from Rio to Arraial do cabo, however picking up all the passengers for 2 hours (we got on the bus at 07am) made the trip too long. The bus did not have a bathroom (we traveled with a 5-year-old child who needed to go to the bathroom during so many hours of travel and we had to stop on the road and do it anywhere (at my urgent request), also the air conditioning did not cool Enough. The driver drove very well, the guide was very punctual. At the time of booking, we understood that the tour included lunch, but we were never told that they would give us at 6:00 p.m. and that we would have to pay for the entire afternoon of the trip our meals (because obviously from 7 am to 6 pm we needed to have lunch, especially with a child)

Very friendly provider guide from start to finish takes care of all participants. The crew of the schooner created a crazy atmosphere with choreographed dances, cocktails and meals served on board the boat at a very reasonable price. Just follow the atmosphere of the group and you will have an excellent excursion
