Detailed itinerary

Our nautical tour in the bay of Angra dos Reis takes around 5h, aboard a schooner model vessel. Starting around 11:30 am at the Santa Luzia pier - downtown Angra and returning to the same pier around 5 pm.

Stop 2

Special stop at a natural aquarium where you can see various species of fish and starfish. Its turquoise water with multicolored fish and its cinematic beauty make Lagoa Azul one of the most visited and contemplated places in Ilha Grande Bay.

Angra dos Reis has 365 islands, one for each day of the year. In addition to our dear Ilha Grande, taking a trip to Cataguases Island is a trip to the Caribbean without leaving the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Also called Ilha de Cataguás, it is one of the closest to the mainland, which makes the boat trip very easy even for those who are in the center of Angra.

With its calm waters and a pier, the place is one of the many whereabouts of the sloops and schooners that depart from the region. The beach has several attractions, for traditional bathers it offers a safe place to relax and enjoy the sunny day, while divers will come across a lot of marine life, despite the movement.

Stop for lunch at a typical restaurant in the region, the restaurant has the differential of passing the menu inside the vessel so that customers can choose the meal and this will be served as soon as it arrives at the beach.
We have the option of lunch in a self service buffet, which consists of: fried fish, fried chicken, beans, rice, various salads, mush and pasta.

Lagoa Verde is a corner of shallow, calm, typically green waters and is one of the highlights of the northwest coast of Ilha Grande, very close to the Enseada de Araçatiba
