Angra and Ilha Grande Boat Tour from Rio: BBQ and Drinks

Island-hop the coast off Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande on a motorboat day with barbecue, drinks and soft landings for swimming and snorkelling. Choose a shared day with pickup from Rio, or a private boat with pickup from your hotel in Angra, then sail between calm bays with a guide and crew handling the boat.

📍 Key Details

• Location: Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande, from Rio de Janeiro
• Duration: About 8 to 12 hours
• Minimum age: All ages welcome

🌊 What to Expect

After pickup, travel to the marina in Angra and board a motorboat sized for your group, with seating options for about 6, 10 or 15 people. Around seven hours on the water follow, with time on deck, music, snacks and a barbecue while the crew steers between islands.

Pick one of the two popular routes at booking: the Paradisiacal Islands circuit, or the classic Ilha Grande postcard stops such as Blue Lagoon, Lagoa Verde, Japariz, Funil, Praia da Feiticeira and Praia do Amor. Expect photo stops, short beach walks where landing is easy, and snorkelling or floating kit ready when the water looks inviting.

📌 Location

Angra dos Reis sits west of Rio along a coastline of forested hills and sheltered channels. Ilha Grande is the standout island postcard nearby, with clear water, sandy coves and Atlantic Forest coming right down to the shore.

Shared bookings start with hotel pickup in Rio de Janeiro and a scenic road transfer to Angra before boarding. Private bookings pick up from your hotel in Angra, so the day stays focused on time on the boat once you leave the marina.

✅ Prerequisites

No prior boating experience is needed. The crew handles sailing and navigation, so the day suits first-timers as well as travellers who simply want a relaxed day on the water with swimming and snorkelling stops.

Bring a swimsuit, towel, sun protection and comfortable shoes for short beach walks. Infant seats can be arranged on the shared Rio option when requested in advance. Tell the team about mobility needs when you book so pickup and boarding can be planned smoothly.

⭐ Why Choose Us

Licensed local guides and an expert crew keep the boat day paced for comfort, with inclusions that make the outing feel complete: barbecue, drinks, snacks, floating accessories and snorkelling gear.

Shared and private options sit on one page so you can match the day to your group. Pick Rio pickup for a full transfer-inclusive day, or Angra hotel pickup when you are already on the coast, then choose the boat size and itinerary that fits.
