Transfer Paraty to Ilha Grande: Speedboat crossing included

The speedboat crossing takes 45 minutes, not the full morning.

A transfer from Paraty to Ilha Grande (or the reverse) that combines road transport with a speedboat crossing, picking you up at your accommodation and delivering you to Abraao pier on the island. The van and fastboat ticket are booked together. Your crossing ticket arrives by WhatsApp the day before departure. Two daily schedules are available, and the vehicle size adjusts to your group.

The experience

You get picked up at your hotel in Paraty and driven by a qualified driver in an air-conditioned van to Cais Santa Luzia in Angra Dos Reis, where you board the speedboat for the crossing to Ilha Grande. The sea journey takes 45 minutes and lands you at Abraao, the main settlement on the island. The whole trip runs about two hours from door to pier. Your boarding ticket for the fastboat is included and sent to you by WhatsApp the day before, so there's no separate ticket desk to find on the day.

The vehicle can be a car or a van depending on how many people are traveling, and the driver carries a satellite tracker for safety. The van is wheelchair accessible, and infants can travel in a pram or stroller or sit on an adult's lap. Specialized infant seats are available if you need one. Daily departures run on two schedules, with your exact pickup time confirmed via WhatsApp once you book.
