Angra & Ilha Grande Private Boat Tour: Barbecue and DrinksA private motorboat tour departing from Angra with hotel pickup, a professional bilingual guide and crew, and eight hours exploring Ilha Grande's islands with stops for snorkeling, swimming and a full barbecue lunch. You choose the boat size (6, 10 or 15 seats) and one of two itineraries—the Paradisiacal Islands route or the Ilha Grande route—and the crew handles navigation while you decide the pace. Drinks, snacks, floating gear and music are all included; tips are optional.Is it for me?Book this if you want to control the pace and the stops—the crew navigates while you decide where to anchor and how long to stay, which works best for groups that want flexibility over a fixed itinerary. The boat size you choose shapes the feel: six seats for an intimate group, ten for a small party, fifteen if you're bringing a larger crew.
Speedboat tour Angra dos Reis: Five island stops with snorkelingA five-hour speedboat tour of Angra dos Reis with a live guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese, stopping at Lagoa Azul, two beaches on Ilha Grande, Ilha de Cataguás, and Praia das Flechas. Each stop lasts 20 to 30 minutes for swimming and snorkeling; lunch is a one-hour break at a local restaurant where you can order and pay separately. The boat holds 14 to 34 passengers and departs from meeting points in Ipanema, with the transfer to Angra dos Reis taking roughly two and a half hours.Is it for me?Book this if you want to visit five islands with structured stops and snorkeling at each, rather than spending time coordinating multiple outings—the shared speedboat keeps to a set schedule with 20–30 minutes at each location.
