★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 53 reviews · 7 hours · from $79

Review of the Arraial do Cabo boat trip from Búzios, with swim stops, buffet lunch, Cabo Frio plans, costs, and practical tips.

“le spiagge di Arrial do Cabo, sono fantastiche come ai Caraibi. Purtroppo per il tour non si può dire lo stesso. Presi in hotel alle 8.20 a Buzios con una macchina ci hanno ad portato ad Arrial do Cabo. Arrivati lì ore 9.20 abbiamo aspettato quasi 2 ore prima che la nostra barca lasciasse il porto. Lasciato la banchina ore 11.15. Visto 4 spiagge di cui solo 2 visitabili solo via gommone. Alle 15.15 rientro in porto. Fermati a mangiare e ritorno a Buzios. La sosta di Cabo Frio inserita nel programma e non fatta? Sicuramente esperienza da non ripetere. Peccato”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 43 reviews · 12 hours · from $94

Review of the Búzios day trip from Rio, with beaches, schooner ride, buffet lunch, transport tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“Trasferimento in pullman lunghissimo….andata 5 ore, ritorno 4,5 con la sensazione di essere all’interno di una cella frigorifera (nonostante avessimo fatto richiesta la temperatura e rimasta intollerabile) Il giro in barca-barcone …sembrava di essere allo stadio, non c’era posto x sedersi Buzios viene presentato come un paesino con acqua cristallina e paesaggi da paradiso….indescrivibile!!! Il centro di Buzios è in realtà una località pulita e ben organizzata a livello turistico il top?…il cibo!!!!…nella presentazione c’è scritto “in uno dei migliori ristoranti di Buzios”…dove siamo stati noi potrebbe ambire al peggiore nel quale ho mangiato Le aspettative erano alte …forse….a chi organizza ...”

Review of Fortaleza to Jericoacoara: dunes, Lagoa do Paraíso, 4x4 rides, long transfers, costs, tips, and who should book.

“Diminuer le temps de la 1ere escale à Caraulga beach afin de passer plus de temps à Buraco azul car en 1h15 nous n'avons pas le temps d'apprécier le repas et de profiter du lieu. 1 seule taxe était indiquée alors qu'il y en avait 2 à payer. Nous avions demandé 1 guide parlant anglais ou français mais toujours des guides parlant seulement le portugais, grande déception car aucune compréhension. Tres belle excursion 😍😍”
