Full description
Take a shared speedboat tour to discover some of the beaches on Angra's biggest island, the beautiful and famous Ilha Grande. Make several stops for swimming and snorkeling, and enjoy the rainforest scenery and blue waters.
Make your way to the departure point at Estação Santa Luzia, in the center of Angra dos Reis. Then, hop into the speedboat at 11:30 AM and set off on your approximately 5-hour tour. Along the way, make 6 different stops of around 20 minutes.
First, head to the natural aquarium of Lagoa Azul, and snorkel in the calm and blue waters surrounded by multicolored fish. From there, move on the white sand and beautiful water of Grumixama, a perfect spot for pictures. Next, make a longer stop for lunch (not included) at a restaurant on Japariz beach.
After lunch, discover Araçá, a small beach surrounded by large rocks, and take a relaxing swim. Then, go to Freguesia de Santana, a beach that houses Angra dos Reis's first church. Enjoy a short walk or swim, if you like, and admire the reflection of the rainforest in the water. Finally, visit Catagueses, 2 small islands of white sand that were the scene of some TV commercials in the 1980s.
