Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel in Rio de Janeiro and taken in an air-conditioned coach to Itacuruca city (approximately 95 kilometres from Rio). A multilingual guide will accompany you on this tour.

The ride will take you along the Santos River Highway, with its sinewy contour that runs between the dense forest-covered mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, to the city of Itacuruça.

At Itacuruca, board a schooner (locally known as 'saveiros') for a full-day cruise around the Tropical Islands.

Begin your trip from the calm waters which are protected from the open sea by a sandbar and which form the Sepetiba Bay. The Septiba Bay is home to over 300 islands which are true tropical paradises and possess various inlets, beaches and flagstones covered with dense vegetation.

It is common to spot dolphins, giant king-fishers, parrots, turtles and sting-rays here.

During the tour of the principal islands of the Bay, you will make stops for lunch as well as swimming and snorkelling on one of the islands.

The return trip is equally relaxing as you sail around the surrounding islands.

Return to Itacuruca where you will board your coach for the homeward journey.

At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
