“I wanted a small group excursion to have a relaxing and fun day. This boat is not for 45 people like advertised… 45 people go on each bus and there are three buses loading the boat with over 150 people. YES!!! be prepared to join 150 on your boat ride!! Also the bus ride was about 5 hours each way to and from the boat. It was was a very chaotic day with extremely loud music and not fun at all!!! I couldn’t wait to get back home never again. On the positive side the bus driver and our guide was super nice.”

“We really enjoyed our tour- the bay and the island were amazing with gorgeous views. The water was warm and the time for snorkeling was amazing- as there were incredible fishes to see. The lunch was really good quality as well- although dessert not included, there are plenty of other options on the beach to choose from. I would recommend taking a snorkel mask, sun screen and a hat, as well as some water. We really appreciated our guide as well- thanks Nayt!”

“This is a long day. I got picked up at 7:30am and didn’t arrive back to my hotel until 10pm. You spend about 5 hours round trip driving to the location. Then when you get on the boat you are on it for about 5 hours. While on the boat you are with 200 other people. They let you off the boat at 4 locations, but by the time you get off you might have 20 minutes in the water because you have to wait for everyone to get off and back on the boat (you have about 30 minutes-45 minutes at each location). Lunch isn’t until 5 and it’s…”

“Many things on this trip did not match the description. The day started with getting a phone call at 0640 saying the bus was outside waiting (tour was supposed to start at 0730). It took 2 hours to pick everyone up. We then had a 2 hour trip (AFTER the 2 hour pickup of everyone) to a boat with 120 people - the tour description says 45 people max. When I questioned the amount of people I was told that only applies to the bus, not the actual tour. The boat was a party boat. The music was so load you could not hold a conversation with the person right…”
Review of a private Ilha Grande speedboat tour from Rio, with six beach stops, snorkeling, hotel transfer, lunch advice, and honest costs.
“Great day exploring 6 different beaches on the big island! Romeo our guide spoke English very well over a multitude of topics and was well engaged with us throughout the day. It’s a solid two hours each way from Copacabana but worth the trip because of the beauty of the islands. The speedboat was well equipped including an awning. Lunch though additional was excellent. It was great to avoid the crowds. Highly recommend!”
