Pickup time was confirmed but guide arrived 20 minutes early and expected us to comply. Very long time spent in the bus - about 6 hours total. And very bad and very late “lunch”. Mismanagement of every element of trip from pick up to description to boat to lousy food. I hold the tour company responsible.

This tour has been the worse of my trip. Nothing was organized. The bus seats were good but the driver kept playing with the AC. The collection in the morning took 3 hours!!!! We waited after we got on the bus two more hours but some folks started at 6am. We got to the boat only at 1230 after a long line at the steamy entrance to the tour office the boat was old and neglected, broken toilets , they stuffed maybe 100 people on that, some were in the sun all day. Loud speakers too much. The guide was so so, bad English, half info. The tour itself was messy and the highlight was a disgusting dinner in some neglected stinky place on the last beach. They wasted my entire day we arrived back to rio only at 2300 it was so messy.
Very beautiful places and so many stops. The tour picked up and dropped off in our hotel. This is important.
Beautiful stops. Plenty of time for swimming and walking. The boat ride was fun, although it had quite the party boat theme, so perhaps not as catered to some of the elderly guests as it got quire noisy at times. It didn't bother me personally, but if you're not looking to drink and mingle you might steer towards a quieter tour.
<p>Over all it was a good trip. Just not for me.<br/> I like to be more independent and get a chance to explore more on my own. <br/> I felt like I wasted a day and $90 to not really see anything. Not an experience I haven't had before! <br/> But hey, why complain, I'm in Brazil!</p>
Enjoy, get carried away with the activities and dare to new experiences, the very good tour must dare, all wonderful
Poor transport guide who does not control his area poor meal dirty boat staff of the boat not welcoming
Excellent from the moment we leave the meeting point, plus the boat and its crew and our guide, I take very pleasant, cordial and walk the 4 stops , view of snorkeling with the little fish, very good photos
Well the truth is that the experience is very nice. The day was not beautiful but we had a good time on the boat. It was cold, but the ride was very good
La destination est magnifique mais l'organisation vraiment à revoir...nous avons passé 2h!!!! à récupérer des personnes dans les différents hôtels uniquement de Copacabana !!!! Le trajet entre les hôtels doit être optimisé...du coup nous n'avons passé que 30 mn dans 2 îles! Il faudrait faire 3 arrêts et non 4.
Spectacular tour on the big island. We were able to get to know the famous blue lagoon, snorkel and to complete the day was beautiful, making everything perfect. My wife and I indicated the Agency too much, it was impeccable and fulfilled everything that was offered. We will definitely do other tours with the Nattrip.
Absolutely not recommended. The description read “Duration of altivity: 12 hours. In total, however, she went 16 hours, of which we spent 10 on the bus, as first 35 hotels had to be approached to collect all participants. The boat was relatively crowded and the stops were not particularly spectacular quite briefly. The announced lunch was only available at 5 p.m. The guide was very nice and translated everything well into English but basically the trip consisted of far too much driving for too little worth seeing
The island is beautiful , we did a tour visiting different places and it is beautiful!! It has a lot of energy the place!! The boat with which we did it had lunch included and drinks were bought at the bar!!
A very good walk from Rio, excellent beaches and pleasant Mood on the boat. Although the journey is somewhat long it is advisable
After a long delay we were driven by taxi (from the hotel ) to the car because you allegedly made a mistake to pick us up. Arrived on the bus we saw guests from the same hotel, very annoying. The tour was crowded had hardly any space on the boat. We booked the tour in English but no one really spoke in English! The stops were crowded, boring and way too short. Safety is also a concern. We were supposed to be back at the hotel by 8.30pm, but didn't arrive until 11.00pm. WE DO NOT HAVE A GOOD REMEMBER OF THIS TOUR, DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!
The excursion leaving the river is to Angra and Big Island. Angra only sees it passing through until you reach the port. You embark for a big island stop to get in the water near an island you can't go to. Then they take you to Laguna azul where there are many fish and a lot of trash. Then to a beach that the water is full of oil from the engines of the boats and finally to another beach to eat at an open buffet. The place to eat really depressing a shed with tables in the sand as for 200 people. You sit and bury yourself. A table with very little food for so many people and they rip your head off with drink. Paragraph aside the boat we got "Arpoardor" super boring, bad music, bad animation and all they wanted was for us to buy caipirinha to get through the cold. If I have to recommend a place go to Arraial do Cabo, a thousand times better.
Going on a getaway to Big Island, this very good, beautiful island, in view, the little village. has amazing places around it, in my experience it is worth going.
Pickup at the meeting point was at 8:30. The bus arrived at 9:45 am, in the meantime we called the agency twice: – Around 9am, the agency told us that the bus would arrive in 5 minutes (and it was wrong). The second time, the agency told us that the bus had been in an accident. Barely on the bus, 5 minutes after leaving, it stops. We were parked on the side of a big 3-lane road, there was traffic it was really dangerous. NOBODY spoke English, the person accompanying us told us that someone on arrival would speak English and that was not the case. There is already an error on the excursion because we chose an English tour. We waited a little over an hour by the roadside without understanding what was going on. The person conducting the excursion did not seem worried about the situation. After more than 2h30 late, we had another bus. The driver was driving very dangerously with strong brake strokes. We arrived at 13:30 on the scene to join the boat. With the sun setting around 4:30 / 5 pm, the day was already well underway!! We made 3 stops at sea. For the first, a crew member injured his arm. The boat ride had just started and there was still a problem! For the last stop it was on a beach but it was already dark so there was no real interest. The organization is to be reviewed, we really felt in danger! It’s a shame to pay 76 euros per person to finally make 3 stops at sea including 1 at night and the other two with a stop of 40 minutes and more than 2h30 late on the planned circuit!!!!! Excursion to escape, no professionalism, we felt really in danger. A real nightmare.....
