3.Angra dos Reis Boat Trip with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 737 reviews · 14 hours · from $63

You’ll stop to swim and snorkel, visit places such as Blue Lagoon and Cataguases Beach, and eat a simple buffet lunch. Guides including Leonardo and Alex have been praised for clear multilingual help.

“Wonderful but we were unlucky since it was raining heavily. The bus picks and drops off people from too many hotels which causes a big delay. The "restaurant" where food was served was of very questionable hygiene as well as the boat. It was raining and the coverings of the boat were deficient and we were getting wet. Other boats we saw have side covers for the rain. It would be better to have some packed safe light food on the boat.”

“The tour took us to three beaches. Water was beautiful and the weater cooperated. If your looking for an English tour, this is not for u! The guide did not speak English even though we requested one. The pick up was an hour and a half late. We were waiting since 7:25 am. They would occasionally send whatsapp messages to communicate. Lunch is also served very late and you only get an hour to eat. Remember to bring snacks as the food served on the boat is expensive. You also need money for taxis which is not mentioned, only the marine fee is mentioned. We got lucky one of tourists…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 132 reviews · from $12Best value

“Passeio básico para quem vai a Angra, pelo preço vale a pena e você consegue mergulha e curtir um pouco a praia. Porém, levem lanches. No barco a única opção de compra era fandangos e o preço do almoço (se não estiver incluso) é absurdo. Um prato simples de filé de frango com batatas fritas é 170 reais, e não há outra opção para se alimentar. De resto, o passeio vale a pena.”

“Many things on this trip did not match the description. The day started with getting a phone call at 0640 saying the bus was outside waiting (tour was supposed to start at 0730). It took 2 hours to pick everyone up. We then had a 2 hour trip (AFTER the 2 hour pickup of everyone) to a boat with 120 people - the tour description says 45 people max. When I questioned the amount of people I was told that only applies to the bus, not the actual tour. The boat was a party boat. The music was so load you could not hold a conversation with the person right…”
