We went to about 3-4 islands, the lady I believe her name was Raquel was very nice and kind! The fries I had were very good I would recommend! Although I bought a snorkel and couldn’t see much underwater it’s not their fault!

The tour was fun. The process of getting there was not. We had to go to a hotel at 6am to be picked up, which was fine, however we spent about 2 hours stopping at different hotels picking people up which added too much time to the already extremely long ride we had to take to the actual beaches. The tour guide was also kind of crazy, she was very disorganized and a bit rude. Overall we enjoyed ourselves but this required a more efficient way of being done.

Recomendo
Good overall, its a pretty long day with transportation from Rio (leave 8am return 8:30p) but worth the experience of visiting Angra its beautiful there! Overall well organized tour, I would recommend this company. Th bus picked us up from hotel about 1 hour late, that was really the only issue. Also wish they would have informed on booking page pricing for extras for sale on tour (snorkling equip, drinks, food, appetizers, etc…)

4.7 / 5 just needs more music on board
The water is great, the islands are great, the company and other travelers were also great and as a solo traveler I truly appreciate that. I only wished there was more ambiance on the boat like more music that's why 4 stars. The experience was truly worth the price....the on board drinks were also on point.

Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande Tour from Rio with Boat Ride and Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
