Start your full-day excursion with a 165 km trip from Rio de Janeiro to Angra dos Reis, located in the Costa Verde region.
Head to the Santa Luzia pier, climb aboard the speedboat to discover the paradise islands of Angra dos Reis and be enchanted by the beauty of the waters and nature on all sides. Make your first stop at the Botinas Islands, two small, almost twin islands with a calm, translucent sea, perfect for snorkeling. Continue on to Praia de Jurubaíba, commonly known as Praia do Dentista (Dentist's Beach), with fine white sand and waters of intense colors that vary according to the sky, it is considered one of the most beautiful in the region. Your next stop will be Praia de Piedade, divided in two by a strip of sand, with calm, shallow waters and ideal for children. Your last stop will be at Praia das Flechas, where you'll find kiosks and restaurants, as well as a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.
Disembark at Santa Luzia Station and return to Rio de Janeiro.

This is the second experience I booked through Viator that advertised an English guide where one was not provided.
I do not speak Portuguese. When I travel, for this reason, I book excursions where English is provided as I enjoy learning about the places I am visiting. This tour started off with English/Spanish/Portuguese on the bus. But once we reached Angra, I was placed on a speedboat with another guide who spoke NO ENGLISH and I was with him and 18 passengers for 5 hours with no directions. This was horrible for safety reasons! And also scary not being able to tell what was going on or what we were seeing. For example, we would be given time to swim from the boat to snorkel but I could tell tell the perimeter I was supposed to keep, or the time to return.
The positive of the day was that the water and scenery were beautiful.
To add insult to the isolation of my day, I asked for a partial refund and it was not granted. No reason given. If you pay for an English tour, and are not given one, you should not have to pay full price! I deserved the same experience as the other boaters who knew what was going on and who were safe.
My advice is, if you don't speak Portuguese, do not book this excursion.

Our guide Andrea was the best I've had in a long time, educated, patient and speaks the 3 most important languages so we can understand each other. The best in everything, God bless her.
