Detailed itinerary
1
Take your first stop at Ilha Feia, one of the most secluded beaches in Buzios. Enjoy swimming in the clear waters before getting back to the schooner
2
The beach has calm waters perfect for kayaking, as well as cliffs for snorkeling. It is not by chance that it is a mandatory stop for schooner tours.
3
Azeda beach, with calm and transparent waters, is among the most beautiful in Brazil - surrounded by rocky walls and abundant vegetation - being therefore an Environmental Protection Area. All the kiosks and bars were removed from the sand. There are only makeshift boats that serve drinks and rent chairs and umbrellas.
4
According to the weather, tide and wind conditions, destinations can change. If so, you may visit the Tartaruga Beach instead of any other.
The beach has calm waters and, generally, the warmest in the region, since it does not receive the cold currents of Antarctica. Take the opportunity to dive with a mask and snorkel on the cliffs in the right corner.
Along the extensive strip of sand, kiosks for all tastes spread out tables, chairs and sun loungers.
