Boat Tour Itinerary
Ilha de Cataguases: This island has a peculiar formation, as it’s made by two small land masses that originated from the Serra do Mar mountain range. It's one of the most beautiful islands of the Bay of Ilha Grande.
Lagoa Azul: A natural aquarium where you’ll find one of the finest diving spots on Ilha Grande. This is a massive pool with clear water, and floating around at the bottom you’ll see clusters of starfish, as well as squids, corals, and shoals of colorful fish. Don’t forget your bathing suit!
Ponta da Piedade: This beach, with 150 metres of calm, clear water and fine sand, is perfect for those who wish to take a refreshing swim. At the end of the beach in Ponta da Piedade, there’s the small Igreja da Piedade (Church of Mercy).
Ilhas Botinas: Also known as Ilhas Gêmeas (Twin Islands), this place is the main postcard image of the city of Angra dos Reis. The key attractions are the incredibly clear waters and white sands, and it's a mandatory stopping point for the boats and schooners. The depth of the water here reaches 10 metres, ideal for diving.
The total duration of the tour is approximately 12 hours. Lunch is served on board the boat, with a vegetarian option available. During the tour, you can also buy drinks, snacks and desserts.
