    not a great idea

    Implying a lot, but really meaning little. it is a whole day trip that includes: 1. 8 hours on the bus from rio, 2. 1.5 swimming at two locations 3. ok food at lunch stop 4. couple of hours on the boat 5. barely few announcements in english and lots and lots of upselling: rent a life jacket, googles, add photo, add drinks, add deserts, add snacks. All in all, add another 300R per person. not worth it: little value for the money.

    Fun and great bang for the buck.

    This was a day long trip. They picked up from our hotel. It took almost two and half hours of bus trip to reache the harbor, from where we took the boat. The trip included three stops with lunch served at the second stop. The stops included beaches and crystal clear waters. The boat provided music and people were dancing and enjoying themselves. It was night by the time we returned to the harbor, and almost midnight by the time they dropped us at the hotel. It was full day trip and a very reasonable cost. I will highly recommend this.

    Very disappointing experience.

    We booked this tour specifically for the boat trip and wildlife spotting (whales, dolphins, turtles). Only after more than two hours of travel, we were informed that the boat trip was cancelled due to wind. Had we known this beforehand, we would never have joined the tour. Instead, we were taken to a few beaches, which is not an equivalent replacement for the experience that was sold to us. We were not offered the option to cancel, reschedule, or receive a refund at that point. Additionally, the tour was sold as English-speaking, which it was not. We tried to resolve this directly with both the promoter and the company via WhatsApp and email, but received no meaningful response. This is not about bad weather — it’s about late communication, lack of choice, and a tour that did not match what was advertised. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this company.

    This was the worst tour I...

    This was the worst tour I have EVER been on. It is 12am and we are still on the bus back to Rio. I would rate it a 0, but that is not an option so I give it a 1. I am about to crashout and honestly you could not pay me to ever do something like this again. Wasted a whole day. The tour guide did try her best and I think she should go find a new job. This company is awful. Also no one spoke English and by the end of the day they only made announcements in Spanish. Also they led us into the lightning storm in the pitch black when everyone begged to go back to the port at 9pm. I’m super annoyed.

    Horrible

    No pick up, no trip and no information. We never got the trip we paid for, and no refund of payment. We waited hours for pick up at agreed hotel. We called operator but no answer. After several hours we got information the trip was never planned to be executed.

    Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 Tour to Angra dos Reis with 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 Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 125 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 Tour to Angra dos Reis with 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 Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with 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 Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch?

    +

    Around 44 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 Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with 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 Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. 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.

    What is included in Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch?

    +

    Included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 37 listed pickup locations in and around Rio de Janeiro. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Full Day Tour to Angra dos Reis with Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +
