Boat trip around Ilha Grande with lunch and transfers from Rio

Description

You leave Rio with anticipation vibrating in the air. Upon arriving at Ilha Grande, the contrast is immediate: waters so clean you can see the bottom, forests whispering from the coast, and that smell of salt and freedom that only the tropical sea can give. When you dip your feet in the lagoon, you understand that this day will be unforgettable.

🧭 Schooner, sun, and stops to fall in love
You sail through the mythical Blue Lagoon, where each stroke feels like a certificate of peace. Then, Praia da Baleia gives you the tranquility of a postcard; and in Freguesia de Santana, local culture is painted in history and flavor. You arrive at Praia de Japariz and everything fits: the sand, the warm water, the sound of the sea... pure calm with a scent of adventure.
