★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 182 reviews · 6 hours · from $49Our pick

Shared speedboat tour of Paraty’s Saco do Mamanguá tropical fjord with snorkeling at Ilha dos Cocos, beach time, and an optional Pico hike.

“Woooow!!!!!! We fell in love with Brazil today! We loved to take the small boat instead of one of the bigger boats , because it could reach different beautiful islands which were less crowded! The guide translated, using his phone. He took us to breathtaking beaches and places. It’s definitely worth the money and the experience!!! Definitely recommend this boat tour.”

2.Schooner ride with or without Lunch Included – Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 132 reviews · from $12Best value

Schooner ride from Angra dos Reis to Ilha Grande with Lagoa Azul snorkeling, beach stops, and optional lunch.

“Passeio básico para quem vai a Angra, pelo preço vale a pena e você consegue mergulha e curtir um pouco a praia. Porém, levem lanches. No barco a única opção de compra era fandangos e o preço do almoço (se não estiver incluso) é absurdo. Um prato simples de filé de frango com batatas fritas é 170 reais, e não há outra opção para se alimentar. De resto, o passeio vale a pena.”

“Yo pagué por una paso en barco galera y tuve una excursión por tierra por las costas y morros. Si era esa la actividad no se entendió a la hora de adquirir el servicio , a pesar de eso la actividad , y el guía fue muy linda experiencia , me gustó mecho pero me quedé con esa duda de no saber si Estaba mal expresado o me pusieron en otra escursion , las chicas de la recepción parecían desorientada . Previamente me mandaron msj WhatsApp y parecía todo bien pero ciando llegué no entendía bien el español . Gracias fue linda experiencia igual. Lo recomiendo muchísimo”
