Known as the “Brazilian Caribbean”, it is an essential place to be visited by tourists who come to know Rio de Janeiro for the first time, it is considered one of the most popular destinations in Brazil.

The sea of Arraial do Cabo is breathtaking for anyone, white sand and crystalline waters with a mixture of turquoise blue, baby blue and pool blue, it also has a vast marine life perfect for snorkeling.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Depending on the time of day, the current, the presence of sun and many other factors, the color of the water may be different, moving between green and blue. However, two characteristics are common to any day of the year: the water in Prainhas is always calm and very transparent. Worthy of comparison with the best destinations in the Caribbean. It is really one of the most beautiful beaches in Arraial do Cabo. And the water temperature is among the most pleasant in the city.
2.
Great star of Arraial do Cabo, Praia do Farol is one of the most beautiful in the entire Region of the Lakes and, without exaggeration, in all of Brazil. It gained fame especially for being classified by INPE (National Institute for Space Research) as one of the most perfect beaches in the country, following criteria of water purity, sand quality and landscape. Fame spread and today Praia do Farol is one of the must-see tours in Arraial do Cabo.
3.
Praia do Forno is approximately 500 meters long. The right end is full of bars, food carts, kayak rentals and lots of people (especially on weekends). But just walk a little further to the end of the strip of sand to enjoy Praia do Forno almost without anyone. It offers a small piece of sand for those who like excitement and another for those who prefer peace. The beach also attracts those who enjoy diving. There, it is possible to practice snorkeling and spot many turtles. There is even an oyster farm in the place. The water temperature is not among the coldest in Arraial and it will be impossible to resist a dip in the colorful sea of Praia do Forno.
4.
Boat trips from Arraial do Cabo provide incredible experiences. This explains why nautical tourism is the favorite option for tourists. In addition to stops at perfect beaches, such as Ilha do Farol, the boats take a tour around the surroundings, leaving Praia dos Anjos. On the tours, it is possible to photograph true sculptures of nature. The Rift of Our Lady is one of them. A gap between rocks, with the image of a saint in the middle. The image is certainly worth a thousand words.
5.
The Blue Grotto is part of the boat trip that leads to Praia do Farol. The rock formation is just one of the many natural beauties on the route that passes through Cabo Frio Island. The entire path in the open sea is beautiful, with impressive water tones. The Blue Grotto is just one of the beautiful moments, which still have the waves that break fiercely against the rocks.
6.
The look of Praia dos Anjos attracts you by the bucolic set of boats, where all day long fishermen return from the sea loaded with fish to the market. The beach, although not the most suitable for swimming, is certainly among the most important and busiest in the region.

ADDITIONAL INFO

• Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
• Suitable for all physical fitness levels
• Every nautical tour is subject to the authority of the Captaincy of Ports (Navy), which may prohibit the departure of vessels without prior notice, when weather conditions, mainly winds, compromise the navigability and safety of passengers and crew. For this reason, it may rarely happen that the boat trip is replaced by an alternative route and the client remains on the beach or on a panoramic tour of Jardineira. The tour guide establishes a meeting point and a time for lunch and return.
• ALTERNATIVE ITINERARY In case of adverse weather conditions, an alternative route will be carried out, guaranteeing the success of the tour. There is no cancellation due to weather conditions. Itinerary for the tour without a boat: We use transport taxis, we do not refund values as the value goes to taxis. Go up to Pontal do Atalaia, stop at the steps (the little beaches of Pontal do Atalaia), three hours from the beach. Lunch in a buffet restaurant. And finally, we go to Praia Grande, to see the sunset.
• The tour is not private, but shared, and the guide will speak in English, Spanish and Portuguese
• We are not responsible for items lost on our buses or vans.
• We do the tour, rain or shine. The day of the tour is chosen by the customer, therefore no refund will be generated in case of bad weather. We will do the tour rain or shine.
• Pick-ups in Barra da Tijuca and Recreio are not included.
• In our company we operate with a diverse fleet of vessels. Our selection process is adapted daily to meet specific demands, offering boats with capacity for 50, 60, 80 and 90 passengers. To begin each trip, obtaining approval from the Military Navy is a prerequisite. This ensures that we work exclusively with boats that meet high standards, providing a quality experience and maximum safety for our customers.
• During the peak tourist season in Rio de Janeiro, traffic is common due to its popularity. We started collecting in Leblon, went through several neighborhoods, ending with the last one in Lapa. Despite possible traffic challenges, our commitment to a smooth and enjoyable experience remains unwavering as we head to our final destination.

Here's a review for your Excursion to Arraial do Cabo in Rio de Janeiro with Lunch:

This excursion to Arraial do Cabo was a nice experience overall, but be prepared for a long day. The drive to and from the boat area was quite tiring, but thankfully, the big coach bus had reclining seats where you could elevate your feet, making it feel like business class on a plane. Once we arrived, the boat trip to the different islands was lovely, showcasing the beautiful scenery and clear waters. It’s definitely worth seeing if you have the time, but keep in mind that we left our resort at 8 am and didn't return until 9 pm. Despite the long journey, the islands' beauty made it a worthwhile adventure.

The experience was great, everything was well prepared for and the islands were beautiful. We saw lots of sea turtles and we got our pictures taken. The experience was amazing, but more importantly our guide Talita was so amazing. I lost my camera on the bus, and she went out of her way to return it to me!! Everyone on the tour was very lively and friendly. Great day. WELL worth the price.

The tour took us to three beaches. Water was beautiful and the weater cooperated. If your looking for an English tour, this is not for u! The guide did not speak English even though we requested one. The pick up was an hour and a half late. We were waiting since 7:25 am. They would occasionally send whatsapp messages to communicate. Lunch is also served very late and you only get an hour to eat. Remember to bring snacks as the food served on the boat is expensive. You also need money for taxis which is not mentioned, only the marine fee is mentioned. We got lucky one of tourists spoke english so they translated for us.
