Catamaran Boat Tour In Búzios

Amazing experience. We had lots of fun! Great caipirinhas and music on the boat. The best part was that, because it is a catamaran, the big waves and wind did not make the boat shake that much and it was a comfortable ride.

Well we can only comment to the point of getting in the boat as after getting on we immediately got off again and didn’t do the trip. It was advertised as 11.30 for 3 hours. After being picked up from our hotel which was meant to be 10.50 but came 15 mins later we were taken to the office in town, and everyone had to complete a form with passport no/emergency contact numbers (fair enough). We were then told to go away and come back 25 mins later for 11.50 am. After a very boring wait we were herded to a nearby square and lined up like school children with people coming from all directions into different lines, 10 mins later walked to the Pier. On the Pier another 15 mins to wait while other boats were loaded up. We had assumed the other lines of people were for different boats. Once we finally got on the boat (now approx 12.35 and 1.45 hrs for us since waiting for pick up), we watched as behind us the hoards of people were getting on our catermaran!! That meant we would be purchasing snorkels, beers/snacks with that no of people and swimming with 150 people at every stop too! We decided we had wasted enough of our day and got off and went to relax locally in a bar and by our hotel pool. Speaking to another person the snorkelling is average too. If you want to do a boat trip book a wooden smaller boat or pay lots of money for a private boat. Walk or get Ubers to different beaches - do not get a half day catamaran boat trip as it will be a whole day of your time and with the masses no matter how good the trip actually was.

The trip was wonderful, featuring snorkeling, swimming in the sea, and lively music and dancing on the boat. The Brazilian atmosphere was fantastic, making for a truly authentic experience. However, it would have been helpful if Viator had provided clearer instructions for non-Portuguese speakers, such as mentioning that we should look for the Libertas company. I had expected a Viator representative to be present, and nearly missed my trip while trying to figure things out. Additionally, a more precise departure time would have been helpfull. Once I connected with Libertas, their English-speaking staff were very helpful, ensuring I had all the necessary information and checking in on me during the snorkeling. Overall, it was a great experience!

The level of disorganization is unexplainable. We were told to arrive at 1130 for check in. We left as it was 1pm and still not ready to go. The persons for the check in were rude and disrespectful

Would like to share our disappointment today. First of all the pick up was 25 minutes late to pick us up from the hotel with no message to say that they are late. Secondly the bus provided was not up to the standard . The seats were dusty and not cleaned. There were foot marks on the bus floor probably yesterday's guests who used the bus. The guide did not speak English thoigh she tried her best to speak few sentences and used google transalate to communicate with us. We were not aware that the journey to reach Buzios was 5 and a half hours and the return was 4 and a half hours. Suggest that when guests opt for the Buzios trip they must be made aware of the time taken for travel to and fro. Also a suggestion that guests must have an option to stay for a night in Buzios at an extra cost.

The trip exceeded expectations — the guide and crew were extremely polite and professional. The view was amazing. Taken so many photos.

advertisement from the travel agency on Viator says that the tour included pick up from the hotel. our hotel was included in the drop-down menu for the pick up and I booked the ticket with hotel pick up. Confirmation says that hotel pick up is included. only after booking and trying to find out the time for the hotel pick up were we told that hotel pick up would not be included. The boat staff themselves were nice, but this is more of a party boat with a DJ pumping loud music throughout the cruise. this should be mentioned in the description.

Worst boat cruise in my life. Your write up indicated an enjoyable boat ride but this was nothing more than a “Booze Cruise”. Loud music blasting and drunk people behaving crazy we hated every second of this cruise. My husband and I are over 50 we could not wait to get off this boat. Had we known it was a pleasure boat for drunks and dis orderly we would not have booked such a trip. If I could have my money refunded it won’t be too soon. I hated this boat trip. Was nothing like the Ad.

Everything was really fun, a great experience and value. The staff was friendly and fun. The DJ was great! I give 4/5 because the bathroom toilets were not functioning and became unsanitary very fast. Not good with so many aboard. Also, the boarding ladder for entering/exiting the water was not very secure to the floor, you can see it moving around when you use it. Scary.... If they fix these problems, 5/5.

Do not book this tour unless you speak Portuguese, and you are familiar with Buzos. They require you to meet at a particular address, not at a dock, but none of the streets are marked. They had provided us two different addresses, but neither could be located. We walked around for over an hour, and asked multiple people who gave us all different directions. We even stopped at their booth in town, and when the woman realized we weren’t looking to book tickets, she sent us in the wrong direction 10 minutes. We could see the catamaran in the bay, but never saw it moved to shore so passengers could board.

It was nice The tour asked to be at the pier at 11:30, but doesn’t depart until noon. I was then very early. i was able to rent mask for snorkeling for around $7 from the boat. The staff had food for fish and it was great They also could get your picture under water.

It was an amazing experience going to know a few locations in Buzios with my family. The staff from Libertas are excellent, very attentive and friendly.

We enjoyed the boat experience, DJ, little dance party & yummy caipirinhas, the beaches are the ones you can visit if you’re staying in Buzios so it wasn’t new for us but we enjoyed snorkelling at one spot. The boat was more of the experience for us & being on the where.

Very bad experience. Thought this was a tour but was actually a party boat with DJ and loud music. Fine if you know what you are getting into but we brought children thinking it would be a nice boat tour. Had a very bad time try one of the other buzios tours

Good walk!,, fun and enjoy your crew, nice music,, comfortable and quiet , unforgettable landscapes! What more to ask?

An unforgettable experience, the catamaran where we could enjoy spectacular, the music they spent the whole trip

We bought the catamaran ride on Sunday, to do it on Monday. That same night, at almost 10 pm, we were informed that it was cancelled due to weather and that we should reschedule for Tuesday. The same thing happened again Monday night: new cancellation and rescheduled for Wednesday. Although Monday and Tuesday were very good weather (sun and clear skies), we accepted to do the walk on Wednesday, although not entirely compliant, as we had already paid and wanted to live the experience. On Wednesday, the day of the walk, the weather was cloudy and rainy. Departure was at 11:30, but only at 12:30 we were still without clear information or answers. Finally, at the last minute we were told that our catamaran would not leave, but that they could put us on another boat, much simpler, with a return of just 40 reais. In the midst of the confusion and pressure of the moment, we accepted, although we later saw that the same boat ride was offered by the agency at a much lower price, which we found to be disrespectful. Afterwards, we learned that the coast guard had indeed authorized the departure of boats, so the catamaran did not simply leave by decision of the Enterprise. During the ride it rained, it was cold and the boat they put us on didn’t have enough coverage, so we ended up soaking wet and frozen, with a repetitive playlist and wishing the tour would end soon. We understand that the weather cannot be controlled, but you can be honest and professional with passengers. Constant rescheduling, lack of transparency and lack of empathy made this experience very unpleasant and frustrating. 💬 Tip: If the weather is unstable, do not accept forced rescheduling or last minute boat changes. Better ask for the return and avoid going through the same thing.

Our experience with this catamaran tour was really disappointing. We bought the ride through Booking on Sunday to do it on Monday morning, but on the same Sunday night we were informed that it would not leave due to bad weather, although Monday dawned totally sunny, with perfect conditions to sail. On Monday night we were told again that he would not leave on Tuesday, even though the weather was even better. Finally, on Wednesday, the day when there was a forecast for rain, they confirmed the departure. On Wednesday it was cloudy and rainy, but we went to the meeting point, where confusion reigned: there were only eight people, no one knew if the ride would leave or not, and we had to wait more than two hours until, at the insistence, we were informed that the boat would not leave because of engine problems or maintenance. This contradicted what had been said before, as the catamaran had apparently not been operational for days. As a “solution”, they offered to change us to a ride from another agency with a discount of 40 reais from the original price (120 reais). We accepted, although we later learned that this tour cost only 50 reais, while we were charged 80, leaving the agency with 30 reais per person without providing any Service, only deriving us. The new ride was very bad: full boat, cold, rain and no roof to cover, with passengers sitting on a plumavit deck to not slip. We recognize that the final decision to go was ours, as we were offered refund on the spot. However, we do not recommend accepting rescheduling. 👉 We understand that the weather is not the fault of the agency, but rescheduling ends up being a waste of time. It is best to ask for reimbursement and reschedule with another Enterprise when the weather is truly confirmed and stable. In short, a disorganized experience, unclear and far below what was promised. We would not recommend this tour, especially if you are looking for reliable and professional Service.

Dear, Today I participated in the contracted tour, which originally included a sea tour. However, due to weather conditions, it was replaced by a land tour. I understand that the climate is a factor that cannot be controlled, but I consider that the alternative offered did not measure up to the experience contracted. The land journey was very poor: it consisted basically of a bus transfer without music or animation, with a stop of approximately 45 minutes on a beach, and then free time in Busios where it was not safe to bathe without further organization. This does not compare at all to the promised experience of partying at sea. I think a more dynamic alternative tour could perfectly have been offered, for example, with animation during the transfer or a better organization of activities to make the experience equivalent. Instead, we spent most of the day on transport, which was disappointing. In addition, the price paid for the tour does not conform to the Service received, and no compensation, rebate or profit policy was reported to balance this situation. This generates a great sense of wasted time and money, affecting the planning of my vacation. Finally, I would like to mention that the person who received us in Búzios, Mariana, did not provide solutions or containment to the complaints, merely giving indications without offering real alternatives. I request that this claim be taken into account.

The truth is a beautiful experience, we had a great time with the whole family, a very fun trip full of dancing! Next time we come back I won't hesitate to do it again.

Beautiful ride! The boat is beautiful, large, spacious, to be super comfortable. The excellent crew, always attentive for one to have a wonderful time. The varied music, for all tastes. The service of drink and food on board very good and recommended.

Good atmosphere, beach and snorkelling at the top. Great team, great experience, to renew on a next trip

The place is amazing but the catamaran had no Brazilians, only Spanish. I've never seen so many ugly people in my life gathered at the local msm. The sound was at a time when you couldn’t relax or enjoy the view. It was completely stressful. It seemed like the last party of those people's lives, what was to be a cool, relaxing walk, was just 3 hours of intense noise. I got out of the boat dumb and migraine.

Excellent service and attention. The atmosphere very nice and fun. Very nice stops for bathing and diving, although there were no fish.

A experiência foi incrível! Os guias são super atenciosos e tem um DJ que anima a galera! Dancei bastante, nadei e me divertir! Recomendo!

Excellent experience to get to know in one day the most popular beaches of Buzios. Enjoy the sea and there is the option to snag to see the corals.

Excellent choice to make as a couple or with friends. Lots of partying and music on the boat. Fuck and dance. The catamaran stops in the middle of the sea in front of the different divers beaches. The catamaran usually takes 2 hours to leave as several boats and excursions depart. While they give you the option to rent snorkel to see fish in a coral where they take you, do not spend them because there is not one fish

A great atmosphere to go with friends, have a good time and enjoy the sea. Super friendly staff

Great experience I go a beautiful way to tour Buzios and admire it from the sea. To distribute on each visit to the place.

Saída tardia porque é necessário esperar pelo pessoal que vem do Rio . Sai bem depois das 12h e a bordo não há praticamente nada para almoçar a não ser uns espetos de carne bem limitados e pelos quais é preciso fazer fila longa para os ter . Nenhuma parada em nenhuma praia . Quem não mergulha limita-se a passar 3h sentado no barco . Volume da música excessivamente alto e guia pouco elucidativo acerca da história e particularidades do que se vai vendo pelo roteiro

Comfortable boat, security, friendly crew, lively atmosphere and paradisiacal beaches. It was an excellent experience!

Our family loved it . Whoever cheers up we recommend. . The Zulu miner was super attentive and helpful... Worth looking for

Estar ao lado de pessoa que amo Fizemos 32 anos de casados foi um passeio muito bom, peque que estava nublado e chovendo

Top l, wonderful. An incredible and unforgettable experience 😍 I would love to do it again! I believe that in the June holidays I will be there again

Bad experience. 1 hour delay in departure, boat with precarious infrastructure (toilets without flushing, for example), very few food options (just barbecue with nothing), only drinks. Boring ride. I do not recommend!

The tour is incredible. The view is beautiful! The vibe is top! The diving stops are sensational. The DJ is top! The service is top! We simply love everything! We highly recommend it.

Todo salió según lo planeado . El catamaran muy seguro y el personal muy atento . Música a bordo y bebidas

It took a little while to leave but the ride was very well organized, very well coordinated and they had a lot of fun. Very good stops for snorkeling and cooling off. P/recommend.

Nice walk with stops to jump into the water and snorkel. There is a DJ, music and dancing. The bad thing, the boat left more than an hour after the scheduled time.

O catamarã e confortável e o trajeto e bom. A viagem não começa na hora prevista. O inicio da viagem foi atrasado em quase 45 min. O translado funcionou bem. Nos apanharam na hora combinada. Existe um dj no barco. A seleção de musicas e ok mas o nivel do som e insuportável. Foi necessário nos deslocarmos ao andar de cima para suportar a altura do som. A criança que estava na minha família não conseguia suportar a altura do som e tivemos que usar protetores de audição. Pode-se fazer festa com nivel sonoro mais adequado. A outra opção e anunciar que a viagem e so para adultos alcoolizados, acostumados a danificar seus ouvidos e sem interesse em aproveitar a natureza ao redor.

Very good atmosphere, a lot of good vibes, everyone wanting to have a good time, good music, pure dancing, I was entertained and had a good time

Excellent trip, very pleasant atmosphere, we enjoyed it very much!! I recommend it. The only thing is that we couldn't dive because of the sea and the wind. but everything else is fine

The experience was incredible! Beautiful beaches, great DJ and very good boat structure. I recommend the tour!

Great experience, good music and places Perfect! I recommend, full tour, good Enterprise, good dj

Super animated tour, very cool from the beginning to the end we know wonderful places, unforgettable, I will return again, I definitely recommend, whoever will not regret.

Excellent Promenade and Mood Good music to enjoy to the full, very rich beach, food and views all nice

Excellent experience in divers. Good Mood on the catamaran and beautiful scenery 😍 would come back happy again

I canceled a tour, but it was deducted from my credit card. I cannot talk to the Enterprise about how the refund will be made. I would love your help. Can someone give me a phone or email address to send?

The water is rather fresh. We came in March. Keep that in mind when visiting the different beaches. Worth the tour!
