Arraial do Cabo Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch

We were on 1/02/26 Teresa the coordinator a genius.!! All on time. Recommended !! . The boat ride very good, lunch at home gives excellent stone.

From Rio not recommended, lots of traffic jams so you are in a fairly uncomfortable van for a long time. Also opted for an English guide who turned out not to speak English. We were the only foreign speakers this day so everything was in Portuguese. I don't know what we've all seen. On the boat there was loud music, a lot of drinking and we seemed to be on a party boat. Lunch was finally only at 5.30pm. Stops and islets were beautiful so worth it. Take into account a day trip of 4pm.

We only liked the beach of Atalaia, did not have the boat ride, so our expectations were frustrated, the navy did not release the pass.

Our experience with Rio Carioca was not the best. We bought the tour to Arraial do Cabo on the day 07/11. Our guide was wonderful, organized everything right and the barbo walk was also very good. What happens is that the Enterprise wants to save on transportation to Arraial do Cabo and put a minibus that was not there big things for us to take. Afterwards, we arrived around 5:00 p.m. in the parking lot to return to Copacabana and to our surprise the bus was not there. We waited for a long time standing, about an hour waiting, being wet and cold until the bus arrived. I believe they have companies who think better about logistics and hire better means of transportation and who are on the spot at the time of departure. It may be a strategy of companies to save a little, since the boarding/drop point charges to stay there. That said, I think it's better to look for another Enterprise.

Worth it for those who never did, the place is really out of the curve in terms of beauty, with stunning beaches and an amazing sea. However, it is not a walk that we would do again. The beaches are extremely crowded, without much quiet, and the journey is very tiring: the transit between Búzios and the place of embarkation is time-consuming, the logistics is complicated, and we ended up having lunch almost at 5:00. We got back to the hotel in the evening, with the feeling of having lost the whole day on the tour.

We would like to record our dissatisfaction with the service contracted for the tour of Arraial do Cabo. We purchased the tour in advance, made the payment and received the contract, with the guarantee that there was availability. The seller assured us that everything was in accordance and that there would be no problems. However, around 19:00 we were informed that there was an error and that there was no more space available for the tour. This last-minute notice made it impossible for us to contract another tour with other agencies, given the schedule. In addition, at the time we made the payment, there was the vacancy confirmation, which makes the situation even more frustrating. We understand that the agency should take responsibility for the occurrence, as the sale was carried out based on the promised availability. we will be considering filing a formal complaint for the disturbances caused, since we trust the service offered and guaranteed by contract.

It was OK, but not quite what I expected. The guide didn't speak English, she communicated with me via Google Translate on her phone. The driving from Rio de Janeiro to Arraial do Cabo was very long, almost 5 hours. You have to change two vehicles and walk quite long to get to the boat. The boat was fun and the views are amazing. However, we disembarked on two beaches and I didn't know that we would have to put life jackets on and enter a rubber boat. They didn't let me bring my purse, in which I had money, documents, my phone, my camera etc., so I couldn't go and I stayed on the boat. After that we had lunch included, but actually it was so late that it was more like dinner. The guide sent me to the restaurant with two other tourists, who also didn't know where it was, and we got lost. It took a lot of time and effort to find our way back. I almost missed the lunch and the ride back to my hotel. However, once I reached the restaurant the food was quite good and diverse. Eventually it ended well, but all in all, it was a rollercoaster. The positive side is that I really enjoyed sailing on the sea and took wonderful pictures, and the guys on the boat did their best to entertain us.

All wonderful excursion, except for the return trip since a tire was punctured and the agency does not have anything emergency and the passengers had to change it.

Visiting the beaches is worth the trip, but it's not very easy to enjoy spending 20 minutes at each one, taking a boat there and back to the shore. Furthermore, lunch is a huge disaster... It's in a very popular restaurant, where we sit with strangers and there's endless shouting, a desperation to accommodate everyone - and it's totally overpriced... There wasn't even a knife at hand. disposition. We arrived at 5pm for lunch, having to leave at 6pm!!! That part was pretty unhealthy. The guide was also not very friendly, being quite rude at several times. It felt like he was doing us a favor, being that the experience was well paid for what it is. The boat staff, Jagau, was quite pleasant. In general, it's really only worth it to visit Arraial do Cabo.

Very good experience you see several beaches and the guides speak in Spanish, have music on the boat and look for you at the pickle point closest to your hotel
