What you'll experience

Arraial do Cabo is known as Brazil's Caribbean: clear water in shades of green and turquoise, white sand and lush green hills. It sits in the Lakes Region, about 3 hours from Rio by road.

We pick you up early at your accommodation and travel together. There you board a boat along the coast: you land on Ilha do Farol, see the Blue Grotto and the Prainhas do Pontal from the water and stop for a swim at Praia do Forno. The day includes a buffet lunch.

A full day of beach and sea, with round-trip transport and an official guide, run by an agency registered with Cadastur.
