Botinas Island
The two small stone islands are a scenario worthy of paradise. Almost twins, the Botinas Islands have calm, colorful seas and are a great spot to enjoy snorkeling. The bottom of white sand and the transparency of the water make the sea seem much shallower than it actually is, but it is around 10 m deep.

There are few places in the world that combine all these aspects. Ponta da Piedade is favored by nature and man, who built a beautiful little church on the rocks, which can be seen by all the boats that pass through the area. At low tide, the Piedade church is revered by a narrow and small strip of sand, about 20 meters wide, which appears at its feet, dividing the waters forming two small beaches. The place well sheltered from the winds presents us with calm waters, suitable for swimming, diving and snorkeling, where even children can enjoy and play in peace. At high tide, the sand strip practically disappears, promoting the meeting of the waters, transforming the place practically into a natural pool.

Flechas beach is another option for fun. It is known for the excitement on weekends in Angra and its landscapes. Its main highlight is the sea of transparent waters, ideal for bathing. A tip is to take advantage of the local infrastructure, as the beach offers great bars and restaurants.

Fun island hopping in Brazil.
This was the highlight of our 6-day trip to Rio de Janeiro. We went with our guide Camila from GregTur, who arranged it. The boat driver was great. The area is absolutely beautiful! We had so much fun exploring and swimming at the various islands.

Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio cost?
+
Prices start at $435 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 Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio?
+
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 Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio?
+
Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Speedboat Tour in Angra and Islands with pick-up in Rio 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 Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves. 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.
