The town of Angra dos Reis has been settled in time and time again since the early 1500’s. There are a whole bunch of beautiful old buildings which point back to its colonial past when the town was well known for its port and as an agricultural centre. A schooner boat awaits you at the dock to take you along on a cruise around a fair few of those islands, where you're bound to want to dive in to the sea to have a dip as the enticing turquoise blue waters practically pull you in. After that, you're sure to be a peckish so you'll certainly lap up a delicious lunch where you can pick between hot and cold dishes at the self-service buffet.

After getting inside the boat, you shall be treated to five hours on the shores. The 1st stop off will be at the island of Cataguazys, the 2nd stop off will be at blue lagoon and the 3rd stop off shall be at Freguesia´s beach where you'll trail into Ilha Grande where you'll stop to fill up on some lunch and after all of that you head along to Piedade´s pier.

You have the chance to get in to the water at any and all of the stops if you fancy it and therefore the only time where it is not appropriate to swim is when you're feasting out on your lunch. The entire tour will be on the boat and thus not in the city, just to be clear. The type of food you can expect to find ranges from steak, chicken, fish, salad, rice, beans and fries.
