What people are saying about Angra dos Reis

The boat experience was very good, what I did not like was the guide and the driver. The guide at first was kind but then at no time was he worried if someone was missing when we went to another island, the terrible driver we were about to crash twice

The tour was very good, the guide very loving, the places beautiful, the food at lunch delicious, we only would have liked to be able to spend more time on sandy beaches/islands

After 2 hours of bus a beautiful schooner ride, the waters are magnificent and it makes you get away from Rio a bit

It was a long day of traveling to the island and back but the boat ride was fun and the experience was great!

Was an excellent experience!!! Thanks a lot, I enjoy my time, thank you
