    Although the bus didn't pick us up at the scheduled time, the trip was great, the beaches spectacular, and the guide, Santos, was wonderful; he was always very attentive to everything. The food at Casa Da Piedra was super delicious. I highly recommend it.

Day Trip Details

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Rio de Janeiro at the scheduled time and head east, leaving the vibrant city behind as we make our way to a stunning stretch of coastline.

Our destination is Arraial do Cabo, home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. Did you know this region is often called the Brazilian Caribbean? Once we arrive, we’ll head to one of its piers and board a schooner for an unforgettable cruise.

As we sail across crystal-clear waters, you’ll see postcard-perfect spots like Pontal do Atalaia, the Blue Grotto, and Fenda de Nossa Senhora. The breathtaking Brazilian coastline will win you over in no time!

We’ll make three stops at some of the area’s most beautiful beaches, where you’ll have the chance to swim or snorkel, including at Prainhas do Pontal and Praia do Farol. The latter is often ranked as one of the best beaches in Brazil. Enjoy the calm atmosphere and take a refreshing dip in the sea.

After the boat trip, we’ll return to Arraial do Cabo and enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant. Finally, we’ll board the bus back to Rio de Janeiro, arriving at your hotels about 14 hours later.
