Description
Early in the morning, you will be picked up in Rio and can relax during the 3-hour drive to Arraial do Cabo. A quick stop will be made along the way for you to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and buy a snack. Explore the sea off Arraial, which is special for a very particular reason. The region experiences the phenomenon of upwelling, which brings deep waters rich in marine life to the surface. This abundance makes Arraial one of the best diving spots in the country, with crystal-clear waters teeming with life.
For the option that includes a boat trip and lunch: Leave the bus upon arrival at the Arraial do Cabo docks and board the schooner. Enjoy a schooner cruise past the best beaches of Arraial do Cabo. Marvel at the turquoise waters, perfect for swimming. Explore four different locations, including Forno Beach, Farol Beach, and the famous Atalaia Beach. Enjoy the panoramic view of the Blue Grotto, a hidden cave with deep blue waters. Savor the crystal-clear waters and white sands before disembarking for a buffet lunch.
Next, it's time to leave Arraial. Board the bus for the return trip to Rio, arriving around 9:00 PM. During peak season, excursions may take longer due to traffic and the large crowds in the city.

Altamente recomendable
Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Se puede hacer sin experiencia previa, te explican todo antes. Todo fluyó sin demoras ni esperas largas. Si están por Rio de Janeiro, no se lo pierdan.

Casi perfecto
Muy buena experiencia en general. Llevá protector solar y agua, el sol pega fuerte. Lo de Admire fue el broche del día. Hubo un rato muerto en el medio que se podría aprovechar mejor. Igual lo volvería a hacer.

Recomendo
Um bom passeio, sem ser inesquecível. Comparei preços antes de reservar e essa era a melhor opção. O grupo não era enorme, o que deixou tudo mais confortável. Ficamos sem palavras em Desfrute. A única ressalva: o grupo era maior do que imaginávamos. Recomendo no geral.

Buena elección
Buena experiencia, con un detalle que conviene saber antes. Nos tocó un día despejado en Admire y fue una suerte enorme. Buena logística, se ve que lo hacen todos los días. Lo único es que la información previa podría ser más clara sobre el punto de encuentro. Recomendable en general.

Repetiria sem pensar
Valeu cada centavo. Vale acordar cedo, a paisagem nessa hora é outra coisa. Avisaram de uma mudança de horário com bastante antecedência. Comparei preços antes de reservar e essa era a melhor opção. Obrigado pelo dia que nos proporcionaram.

Would repeat in a heartbeat
Best day of our stay in Rio de Janeiro. Worth the early start, the landscape at that hour is something else. The scenery at Blue Grotto does not fit in a photo. You could tell it was properly organised. I have never seen anything like Blue Grotto. Compared with doing it yourself, it works out well. The stretch in the van feels long. An experience worth every minute.
