Activity Overview
At the scheduled time, we'll collect you from your accommodation in Búzios and set off towards Arraial do Cabo. After a scenic drive of approximately one hour, you'll arrive in a coastal town adorned with crystal-clear waters and soft white sands—a sight that will captivate you from the moment we arrive.
Upon arrival, step aboard a boat for an unforgettable cruise along some of the area's most picturesque beaches. You'll find yourself reaching for your camera constantly! A key highlight of this trip is Ilha do Farol, acclaimed as one of Brazil's finest beaches. Curious why it's held in such high regard? You'll soon discover!
Next, we will navigate towards the cove of Praia do Forno, where we'll pause for a refreshing swim in its transparent waters. Following this, our journey continues to the Blue Grotto, a unique rock formation accessible solely by boat. Keep your eyes peeled; there’s a chance we might spot dolphins along the way!
While cruising, keep an eye out for the intriguing 'Monkey Rock', a rock formation that strikingly resembles a monkey's visage, as well as the Fenda de Nossa Senhora, which showcases a depiction of the Virgin Mary embedded in the cliffs.
Feeling peckish? No need to worry; we’ll return to shore and head to a nearby restaurant to savor a delightful buffet lunch.
After enjoying our meal, we’ll hop back onto the minibus for the return trip to your hotel in Búzios, concluding our adventure after a fulfilling total of 10 hours.
