Itinerary
Cais de Santa Luzia is a complex located in the center of Angra dos Reis, considered the most traditional point of departure for visitors to the islands and schooner tours. It faithfully represents a little of the history and tradition of the municipality, mainly because it joins the fishing culture with its fishermen and colorful boats, worthy of a photograph during a walk in the late afternoon with the unmistakable beauty of the sea in the background. It is an image that has always inspired, over time, countless plastic artists in the transformation of this scenario into beautiful watercolors. Starting point of the boat.
Simple beach of medium length, usually receives some visitors during high season, who find auqi a great option to relax due to the calm of the place. Beach predominated by fishing activity, its main visitors are fishermen, who live nearby. It is a good option for those who prefer less busy beaches to rest and replenish their energy. With a spacious strip of golden sand, it has a calm sea, which looks more like a natural pool, with transparent waters.
In the middle of a small archipelago, the Blue Lagoon enchants by the tone of the water. The natural pool resembles the colors of the Caribbean and turns the place into a favorite of visitors for snorkeling or simply enjoying a swim in the sea.
Simple and quiet beach, it is surrounded by large rocks and preserved native forest. It is small and cozy, great for those looking for a good place to rest. With a good strip of golden sand, it has calm and transparent waters.
In this natural aquarium, which is the Green Lagoon, we can find several types of marine species such as fish, mollusks, corals, rocks and stones and even sea turtles. With a little luck, you will see some of these wonders of the deep sea.
Stop for lunch at a typical restaurant in the region, the restaurant has the advantage of passing the menu inside the boat so that customers can choose the meal and it will be served as soon as it reaches the beach. We have the option of lunch at a self-service buffet, which consists of: fried fish, fried chicken, beans, rice, various salads, mush and pasta.

A little bit of paradise on Earth, the natural beauty is amazing, the beach of Lopes Mendes is simply beautiful and the culinary of the Vila do Abraão is sensational. The staff was perfect, attentive and well informed. I can't see the time to go back and enjoy a little more of this natural paradise.

This was a great experience. Good vibes and good service. I got to rent a jet ski and ride it myself, which was the highlight of my day. The water was nice and the views were breathtaking. Just a few pro tips to make the experience more enjoyable : - bring something to entertain yourself in the bus on the way there. The activity is about 2.5 hours from Rio de Janeiro, 3 hours if there is traffic. - take with you a portable charger with your phone cable to charge the phone in the bus or during the activity on the boat. - you should expect to pay an additional 30R$ environmental fee. I don’t know if this applies to everyone or only non Brazilian visitors. Anyway this was an unexpected expense for us. - bring a sweater with you and some long pants. You might get cold at the end of the day, especially if you’re visiting during the winter.

Nothing is as they describe it, the details of the activity are nothing like what they do
Estimado viajero, Gracias por compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Nos hemos puesto en contacto con usted directamente a través de WhatsApp para entender mejor lo ocurrido y encontrar la mejor solución para usted. Quedamos a su disposición. Atentamente,
I would not recommend booking this tour. 1. The travel time to the location is 2.5 hours one way, and this was not transparent at all. We only found out once we were already more than an hour away from Rio. We would not have booked this trip if we had known that. 2. The first 1.5 hours were spent on a bus driving around Rio picking up other passengers, followed by another 2.5 hours driving to the location. 3. During all this time, no food or drinks were provided. Since they were not transparent about the timing, they also did not tell us to pack breakfast, snacks, or enough water. 4. When we arrived at the boat, we waited another 40 to 60 minutes for other buses to load onto the ship. It ended up being extremely crowded, and some people had to stand because there were no seats left. 5. The snorkeling experience was horrible. They gave us snorkeling masks for an extra charge and did not provide anti-fog liquid. The snorkeling location had no reef, coral, or real underwater life to explore. They simply fed fish near the boat so the fish would come close. 6. Everything had an extra fee, starting with some kind of boarding fee, snorkeling mask rental, and they even tried to charge us extra for my kids’ safety vests. 7. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this: do not book this tour.
Dear Yana, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We have reached out to you directly via WhatsApp to address your experience and find the best solution for you. We look forward to speaking with you soon. Warm regards
The tour started with delays, and while I understand that weather conditions are not the organization's fault, the bad weather and low temperatures significantly affected the activity. Additionally, the stops were very short, everything was done in a hurry. As an additional point, we were charged an extra fee of 30 reais per person that was not clearly communicated at the time of booking the service, which caused dissatisfaction.
Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify that all information regarding the tour operation is provided in advance at the time of booking. We are already contacting you via WhatsApp to continue the support and clarify any necessary details. We remain at your disposal.
Good morning! The tour was so great! Everything was so beautiful, priced well and we had an amazing time! We got to see so many different kinds of fish and meet so many people! The guides were amazing from the start and so helpful! They had fun themselves and were there for anything that anyone needed. They were like the life of the party and knew all of the guests. The lunch was delicious! We all went back for seconds and the deserts that were being sold were amazing too!

On this occasion, we decided to stay in Barra de Tijuca. It was a good choice; the area is very quiet but at the same time has quality services. There are first-class hotels, places to eat and have fun, as well as supermarkets or small businesses where you can enjoy the dish of the day for a few reais. Due to the distance, we often used the Metro, which is extremely reliable and simple for getting around. Although in some cases we used a rideshare service, and it worked wonderfully. We did not take many excursions because the weather did not allow it. On our own, we visited the Catete Palace, the Selarón Steps, and the Botafogo Beach terraces, which are highly recommended. We hired Journeys for private transfers to the airport with highly trained staff, resulting in a safe, comfortable, and very punctual service.
¡Muchísimas gracias por tus comentarios! Nos alegra mucho saber que tuviste una experiencia fantástica y que aprovechaste al máximo el tour. ¡Significa mucho para nosotros! 😊 ¡Esperamos verte pronto de nuevo!
