Enjoy a private tour to the islands of Ilha Grande in Angra do Reis. We begin with an early pickup in Rio de Janeiro to go to Angra dos Reis. Angra is Portuguese for 'small bay' and it is part of a grand complex of bays and hundreds of islands. The Ilha Grande is the most beautiful and famous of all the islands and that’s the place we visit in this tour. When we arrive at Angra dos Reis, we go straight to the harbour to take a boat trip through the archipelago of Ilha Grande and stop at 3 different parts of it. We swim, do some snorkeling, admire beautiful islands, see the crystal-clear water and appreciate the green colors of the islands' Atlantic rain forest. If we are lucky, we will be able to see some turtles and a lot of fish. You can chose the private transfer with shared boat tour or the VIP totally private tour with private transfer and private boat tour. Tour guide, private roundtrip transfer and boat trip included.

Stunning location

5 hr Island Hopping
This is an amazing experience if you’re up for a two hour drive (one way) outside the City. Literally the best part of our trip, warm waters and swimming with the tropical fish. My recommendation is that you book a Private Tour - Wagner was our guide, he was such a delight. Get snorkelling gear and a camera to record all the species you encounter.
via Viator
Lovely scenic day out.
Beautiful blue waters and lush, tropical islands to see as you drift by on the boat. The 2 hour plus drive from Rio was no bother for me as I dozed most of it! The water was warm and plenty of fish came as the guys fed them.
Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you very much for your comment. We always seek to offer the best for our customers, we are happy that our service has met your expectations. Come back anytime, it will be a pleasure to welcome you

Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro cost?
+
Prices start at $250 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 Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro 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 Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 8 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 Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro?
+
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 Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro 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 Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro?
+
Around 3 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 Private Angra do Reis Full-Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro 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.
