Plan your Rio de Janeiro experience

Rio de Janeiro’s beaches, viewpoints and neighbourhoods can fill very different days. Plan around the sights that matter most to you, with enough flexibility for travel and outdoor conditions.

For viewpoint visits, compare the transport included and the ticket option you are selecting. A guided route covering several stops is not the same as admission to a single attraction, so check what happens at each stop.

Confirm the pick-up area and any weather-related arrangements. Leave room in your schedule for delays rather than placing another fixed-time activity immediately afterwards.

About this experience and booking advice

Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Day Trip from Rio de Janeiro Escape Rio's city streets for a full day exploring the stunning island paradise of Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande. This guided tour takes you 130 kilometres south to a region famous for over 300 islands scattered across crystal-clear waters, all framed by lush Atlantic Forest. You'll cruise aboard a traditional schooner, stopping at multiple islands for swimming, snorkelling, and beach time. The journey begins with hotel pickup in Rio, followed by a scenic drive through coastal landscapes. Once you reach Angra dos Reis, board your schooner for a day of island hopping that includes Cataguases Island's shallow swimming waters, the Blue Lagoon's snorkelling opportunities, and a buffet lunch at Gipoia Island's Vitorino Beach. This tour offers a complete change of pace from Rio's urban energy. You'll have time to swim in calm bays, explore marine life, relax on pristine beaches, and enjoy fresh local cuisine, all while learning about the region's natural and cultural heritage from your guide.
