Angra dos Reis: Speedboat Tour of the Islands

5 Hours

Visit the postcard stops of Angra dos Reis aboard a fast speedboat. A shared 5-hour tour with four stops: the natural aquarium of the Botinas Islands, and three beaches on Ilha da Gipóia, the second largest island in Angra.

Please note: this tour is conducted in Portuguese only. The crew does not speak English.

What you will see
