See the beautiful statue of Our Lady of Assumption that was placed in the crevice.
You can only reach this beach by boat or by trekking. The turquoise blue water invites you for a swim.
Depending on the time of day or the sun light, you may see shades of green or blue in the water. But it is always going to be calm and crystal clear. It is a great place for a swim.
It has been considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. Only 250 people are allowed every 45 minutes. It is worth a visit.
See from a distance the beautiful Blue Grotto of Arraial do Cabo.
It was nice to be on the catamaran for a few hours but this particular tour only goes to 2 beaches, travelling a short distance and you can swim off the boat at each. Stops are crowded with other boats. I think the tour included lunch but I wasn’t offered lunch.
Great experience! I really enjoyed it. It’s super fun—you’ll have a party on the boat while sailing along the beautiful Arraial do Cabo coast. The views are stunning, and the guides were amazing. I’d definitely do it again!
Terrible experience, much below typical Viator tours. Although being a Brazilian who loves our beaches, this tour cannot be recommended to anyone. Except for the tour guide who made an honest effort to deal with the problems, everything was bad or even worse. I will highlight only the three major issues: - The boat boarding was late by more than an hour and you have to wait in a crowded area with no seats - The boat is very old and uncomfortable - The lunch buffett offered is one of rhe worst meals I ever had. If you are in Buzios, a day at any of its 20+ beaches will be more enjoyable
We expected a tour in English but it was in Spanish. Often the guide was translating in English to us. But that's it.
We were a little worry reading reviews from English speaking travelers that they did not received much attention from the guide. We were only two English speaking people on the trip as well. Our experience with guide Nay was very good. As we boarded the bus, she explained how she will handle us as only English speaking participants. When she was going to explain something, she came to us first, explained in English what is/will be happening so we did not feel lost when she was explaining it in Spanish and Portuguese. She did it through entire trip, which was great. Otherwise trip met our expectation, we enjoyed it.
We were picked up from our hotel at 7:30 AM sharp in a comfortable 15-seater van. There were only 6 of us on there, so we thought “great, we’ll get to spread out.” We drove about 5 mins then stopped and were told to get on a larger ~50 passenger bus. When the 6 of us boarded the new bus, it was already full—just enough seats remaining for the 6 of us. So we were pretty packed in there (think can of sardines), and the A/C was very weak. We embarked on our hour+ journey when we soon realized that we were the only 2 native English speakers on the tour (even though the tour description stated English). Our guide warned us that her English was rusty, so essentially all we got during the entire day was a few updates in English so that we weren’t totally lost. After about an hour+ drive we finally arrived to Arraial do Cabo. We had about a 10-min walk from the bus to the pier. Once we arrived to the pier, we had to pay a port tax of R$10pp (cash only). Once we boarded the boat, a 2nd group joined us so there were about 100 of us on the boat (us still being the only 2 native English speakers). The cool thing is that the boat had a bar and grilled snacks. We were able to drink & eat then pay for everything at the end with a credit card. They also offered the option to rent snorkel equipment for R$25 (R$27 w/ credit card). We stopped at 2 beautiful beaches and a 3rd stop near some rocks for snorkeling. The boat tour ended around 1:30 PM (~4 hour duration), then we headed back to the pier to board our crowded/cramped bus to head to Cabo Frío for lunch. It was about a 30 min bus ride to Cabo Frío (note: consider using the bathroom before leaving the boat because there were no stops in between). We arrived to a gas station around 2:30 PM for what I assumed to be a pit stop, but no, it was our lunch stop. We dined at a buffet in a strip mall attached to a gas station. The food wasn’t bad, I just expected a more “traditional” experience. We were given 1-hour for lunch which was more than enough time. Food was included but all drinks (including soft drinks), desserts, and [gas station] sushi were extra. After lunch, we again boarded the cramped, sweaty bus to head back to Buzios. I know this review likely doesn’t sound like it, but we really did have an enjoyable time on the boat/visiting the beaches. If I could change anything, I would suggest a small group tour option, a truly multi-lingual guide, and a better lunch option. Overall we’re content with our decision to go, we just would’ve preferred having a better idea of what to expect beforehand, hence why I wrote this review. Hope this helps!
I did it with INbuzios but it's full of companies that take you on the ride. It is beautiful arraial do cabo, crystal clear waters, advice buy mask or water glasses before going as you will take advantage of them throughout the trip and rent is expensive. I saw turtles at several of the stops, the buffet is mediocre nothing otherworldly but good is included.
Tour with Felipe by He Happy. It was sensational. Indicate too much
The boat was not decorated in the upper area where one seeks to take beautiful pictures, they take a long time to reach the destination and as the navy restricts the descent to some beaches basically we walk by boat to throw ourselves in the middle of the sea for 2 hours. We knew only sea! No beach.
Excellent expedition attention Brazil, Vero a genius helped me in everything and fulfilled everything! They were very punctual both in the hotel to airport transfer and on the tour! Thank you.
The tour was fine but not take us to all the beaches they advertised. The music on the boat was at a very high volume. You don't take advantage of the beauty of the landscape because they stun you. Very good buffet. Our handsome guide too. But they don't explain anything about the place or the species that inhabit it. The ramshackle vehicles.
Beautiful places are toured,, with the joy of the Brazilians on board, water coasts and beautiful beaches!!! Don't stop making this excursion!
We were picked up and we are sure that they already knew that the navy had cancelled the sailings of the boats, when we had been 1 hour up the bus they tell us that there was no possibility of going out by boat, that the option was to do it overland that was just as beautiful, that they were going to take us to beautiful beaches etc, option 2 was to get off the bus and wait for another bus to go and find us who knows when, so we decided to continue the overland tour. First beach, well, super nice, nothing to say, we were fine, we were 1 hour there, that's where disaster came from, second beach disgust, smell of poop, horrible, nothing to do, third beach worse, dirty, the sand full of trash, really a shame, from there we were taken back to the original bus and lunch, lunch well, but neither liquids nor desserts are included, we ordered 3 coke zero and 1 mineral water and 1 gum and paid 78 real. I hope others have a better experience than we do.
Very bad experience They Deceive You with the Service They Offer They sell you a boat ride to know unique beaches snorkel to see unique shoals of dolphins and even whales and we end up walking in a ramshackle micro We tried to claim in the Enterprise and ran into a wall of indifference. They refused to give us any compensation. When we got to the destination, we were left in a garbage dump if we didn't make the excursion. Some scammers
The excursion is beautiful but the place to have lunch a disaster, cold food, little variety and lunch very late! The rest very good
excellent beaches, but we had a bad day..good buffett ,good vehicles accessible drink prices,good photographer Roque
The incredibly beautiful beaches and sea, but you should NOT go this crowded weekend. The only thing I have to criticize is that the beaches are full of garbage that tourists and locals throw away (beer cans, choclos, rest of meals, cigarettes and papers) that makes so beautiful, the same happened to us in Cabo Frio... amazing place, hurts the DIRTY people.
Excellent, the trip was as promoted. The Nay guide and the photographer Isa, were super friendly, professional and good vibes.
Very good walk, 100% recommended. The beaches are magnificent and with calm water. Nice experience. You can snorkel
Paradise turned into people's hell. 6 hours to get to board. 1 hour only from beach and then jump off the boat. A little while and come back. Beautiful place to miss. But it is preferable to go alone without sightseeing to take advantage of the day. Years ago we had gone and it was really paradise. Very careful and protected. A dream landscape but too popular. The Brazilian Caribbean is a world of people.
The boat ride itself is fine...the boat is comfortable and the attention there is good...the crowded beach...especially the most famous...what changes the experience a lot...the buffet quite bad and there is also a lot of waiting time on land between activities....
A different place. A very good tour, which had a very fun, happening and well prepared guide (Maximiliano) for the excursion.
Buzios is a paradise, its wonderful landscapes, its friendly people, and the prices as in Argentina or lower, nice night move, gastronomy and very safe.
Very long and exhausting walk. We were picked up at the Inn at 9 a.m. to Arraial. One hour and 15 minutes by road. Upon arrival, we had to walk about 20 minutes under the sun until we reached the harbor where the boats departed. A crowd gathered to pay the taxes and then headed to the boats. The landscapes of the beaches are beautiful, but the sea was agitated and we just stopped at a beach very gracelessly and we stayed there for about an hour and 15 minutes, then we returned to the harbor. It was around 3:30 when we went to lunch. Another 20 minutes walking under the sun to the restaurant where about 600 people would eat. That's exactly 600 people in a single restaurant. A huge queue formed to try to eat something at the restaurant that had free buffet but the food was not there these things didn't. After that we waited until 17:00 to walk another 10 minutes until we pick the bus back, and then another 1 hour and a half of the road. After all, we arrived at the Inn exhausted with the certainty that it was not the best walk we did in Buzios. I do not recommend.
Good experience and, as expected, there are contingencies, intelligent mind fixed. RECOMMENDABLE The beautiful landscapes.
Very excellent tour had an amazing time was a spectacular day the beach the boat, lots of laughter and a good sharing with the group, the guide santos highly recommended 👌
Very good, I liked the trip, the guide was very friendly and concerned about everyone, the food was equally varied, the only thing I found was that an entertainer was missing on the boat so that the experience is total, at least in other tours that I have taken there were, it is not just putting music …
Incredible beaches with turquoise waters. Pontal de atalaia the best of all. Furthermore, the day we went the weather was very nice and the water temperature was warm, just like on the beaches in the north of Buzios. White sand (it looked like talcum powder) and it didn't burn!
The ride was excellent! The only thing is that we didn't have much time for lunch. But everything else excellent. Great guides!
Todos fueron hermosos momentos. Quiero destacar el servicio brindado y el guía de In Buzios (Lisandro) quien con su profesionalismo nos hizo pasar un día espectacular. Muy recomendable.
The experience is very good, the place is beautiful and heavenly. The lunch food was an all-you-can-eat buffet and was excellent too! Super recommended to do! The only bad thing is that in high season there are a lot of people
Arraial do cabo es muy lindo. El color del agua es increíble. Recomiendo visitar este lugar! El tour en sí no está tan bueno. Desde que nos pasaron a buscar x el hotel en buzios hasta que nos subimos al barco pasaron 3 horas! Fuimos en temporada alta (enero) un domingo. Te dejan bajarte en dos playas pero es muy poco rato (30-40 min). El almuerzo es al final del paseo, de camino al hotel. Lo cual no tiene sentido, es en cabo frío en un restorán sin vista ni nada, comes adentro y nosotros almorzamos a las 16:00.
Beautiful tour, beautiful beaches. Licha great guide, entertaining and educational. Alan and Clever and the rest of the team are very friendly. A great tour! Recommended
Beautiful excursion, it is advisable to go on sunny days, and with little wind. You can enjoy it more, you can appreciate the color of the water with the sun, and it makes you want to jump into the water more (since it is cold). The beaches are wonderful!!!! It is recommended to take an Arraial excursion
It is a beauty, turquoise water, white sand. Divine landscapes. Excellent for snorkeling. Boat trip, totally recommended.
El traslado en la mañana desde el sector de playa Ferradura al embarcadero, abordando el barco en Arraial do Cabo y luego la estadía en este y navegación en el borde costero. Así como la experiencia de conocer otras personas y compartir gratos momentos durante la estadía. De igual forma la calidez, transparencia y tranquilidad del mar, lo que hace que la experiencia de nadar sea extraordinaria y segura.
The truth is that with the excursion everything spectacular, Licha kept us informed throughout the ride. Very good lunch. Recommended 100%
The guide Noemia made a sensational walk for its beautiful energy. The beaches are amazing, white sand, fine and clear water. The only bad thing is the short time you stay on the beaches approximately 40 minutes.
The excursion is divine. We went with Stylus Tur q is neither divine nor neat We had to walk in total about 25 blocks with a baby of 1 and a baby of 3 Lunch is late, 15hs, the restaurant generated a poisoning The amazing beaches, movie, boat people freaks. Alexandre I
We took our last day in Buzios the excursion to arraial Do cabo. Our Guide was "LICHA", a very friendly and helpful Rosarino "Leper". The bus passed through the hotel on time, and as always in dizios we circled the whole peninsula until collecting all the passengers, and from there we were put on a bigger bus to go to arraial do cabo. That is to say that we had to waste time as some passengers went astray with another tour and we had to look for them again. That delayed the departure and obviously the whole excursion. The journey is long, almost 1 hour and then the walk to the port and the boat departure takes about another half hour to 45 minutes. Bring mineral water, hat and sunscreen, or you'll regret it. It's hard to do this excursion with little guys. He's not gonna enjoy it. Important to check the weather. If this cloudy weather does not see the sea well for snorkeling, and if it is very windy, as in our case; they will not be able to go to the Reserve of the island of the Lighthouse, by much swell, and will miss half an excursion. Anyway it's a nice destination, but taking these precautions. Lunch was in a buffet restaurant, well, from the Kilogram chain (Lanchonette ao kilo), but we arrived almost at closing time, because of the initial delay, which meant that there was not much variety of dishes. Very good choice of the photographer on board. Julio, he's a teacher, who took great pictures with my wife, and made us a mini Married Anniversary book. To recommend.
Las playas preciosas, el personal muy cálido y nos tomaron unas hermosas fotos , almuerzo excelente, en general todo impecable
Excellent experience with InBuzios, they were punctual in the allotted times, the tour was safe, the guide Noe super friendly, chatty, explained all the detailed information of the tour. I recommend it
Arraial, the Brazilian Caribbean without a doubt. A walk that cannot be missed if you visit Buzios or Rio. The stops at the arraial beaches are very short-lived, but you still enjoy the moment in them.
Great walk! Super attentive guides! Very good transfer Service! Lunch at a very good restaurant
Excellent Service. Punctuality, our wonderful guide Noe. We are infected by his joy and very helpful. The restaurant that was included had exquisite food..!!!
The best tour! Highly recommended! The guide Lizandro A genius!!! Very pleasant and fun... arraial do cabo is amazing!
Faltó coordinación entre Carioca Tour y su operador en Buzios, con tres confirmaciones ya hechas, no nos recogieron para el viaje, teniendo que reprogamar todo, espero mañana se realice con éxito.Siempre confié en Viator.
We went on a Saturday, it is very beautiful, but since it was a weekend there were many people! Nothing to envy the waters of the Caribbean! Beach visits should last a little longer!
From here depart boats that tour several tourist spots, the blue grotto, image of our lady of Asuncion , island do lantern , beaches and snorkeling with corals It is advisable to do it with agency as packages offer transfer, lunch
Very good walk we were on 10-01 started with rain but then I improve the day and had a great time lysander very friendly recommended.
