Angra & Ilha Grande Private Boat Tour With Barbecue and Drinks
A full day on the water discovering the islands, beaches, and lagoons of one of Brazil's most celebrated coastlines.
This Angra dos Reis private boat tour gives you eight hours of exclusive access to a motorboat, a dedicated crew, and a curated route through some of the most scenic island clusters on the Brazilian coast. Pickup at your hotel removes the planning burden, leaving you free to focus entirely on the experience ahead.
The tour operates on a private basis, meaning the boat — available in configurations of 6, 10, or 15 seats — is reserved solely for your group. Two itinerary options are available: the Paradisiacal Islands route or the Ilha Grande route, both showcasing crystalline bays, forested coastlines, and secluded beaches that are inaccessible by land.
Onboard, a barbecue, drinks, snacks, snorkeling gear, and floating accessories are provided throughout the day. The crew manages all navigation, so guests can move freely between the sun deck, the water, and the shaded areas of the boat at their own pace.
Ilha Grande is recognized as one of Brazil's premier snorkeling and diving destinations, partly due to its unusually high concentration of shipwrecks — a legacy of centuries of conflict between pirates and privateers in these waters. The combination of warm, clear water and abundant marine life makes underwater exploration a central part of the day for most groups.
Tour Highlights
Snorkel in the Blue Lagoon of Ilha Grande, a natural pool with striking water clarity and abundant small fish.
Explore Lagoa Verde, whose calm, transparent green waters provide ideal conditions for floating and swimming.
Visit Praia da Feiticeira, surrounded by Atlantic Forest, golden sand, and the sound of wildlife in a setting that feels entirely untouched.
Enjoy a full onboard barbecue with drinks and snacks prepared by the crew as the boat moves between stops.
Choose between two curated itineraries tailored to your group's interests, with flexibility built into each route.
Snorkeling gear and floating accessories are included, with a crew on hand to assist at every water stop.
Hotel pickup and drop-off in Angra dos Reis are included, with a private vehicle waiting at the end of the day.
How the Day Unfolds
The day begins with pickup from your hotel in Angra dos Reis. A private vehicle transfers you to the departure point where the boat and crew are already prepared.
Once aboard, the crew sets out along your chosen route. The first stretch covers open water between Angra and the outer islands, with views of forested peaks and anchored sailboats along the way.
The boat anchors at the Blue Lagoon and Lagoa Verde for snorkeling and swimming. Gear is distributed by the crew, and guides point out marine life, including the fish that gather around the natural rock formations.
Japariz Beach serves as the midday stop. The small fishing community here has a handful of local traders, and guests can explore on foot, visit the nearby Funil Beach, or simply rest on the sand before returning to the boat.
The afternoon route continues to Praia da Feiticeira, where a waterfall and Atlantic Forest backdrop create a visually distinct stop. Praia do Amor is included for those who want to observe the local tradition associated with the beach.
After approximately seven hours on the water, the boat returns to the departure point. The private vehicle is waiting to transfer guests back to their accommodation in Angra dos Reis.
