About This Tour
Even if you have only a short time in Rio, you can still explore the Arraial and Buzios on a full day excursion. Make the most of your time by taking a boat tour to uncover the main offshore islands of Arraial do Cabo, hopping from one paradise. The tour explores one of the most beautiful areas of the state of Rio with stops at marvelous beaches. Grab a snorkel and go for a swim, free floating dive, stand up paddle, and relax in crystal clear waters. After the boat tour, have a delicious typical lunch before driving to the town of Buzios. As we continue, discover some of the coolest touristic areas in a walking tour in Búzios catching sights and doing some shopping. The downtown works as a large open-air mall and goes far beyond a mere set of shop windows attracting people throughout the day and night. When night comes downtown gets busy. We may seat down at one of the bars to have some drinks, appetizers and get a feeling of the atmosphere.
