From Ilha Grande: Shared Shuttle to Rio de Janeiro
A reliable, comfortable, and cost-effective journey from Ilha Grande back to the city.
This Ilha Grande to Rio de Janeiro shared shuttle combines a modern speedboat crossing with road transport in new, satellite-monitored vehicles, giving you a stress-free return journey at a shared cost.

This service handles the full journey from Vila do Abraao to your chosen drop-off point in Rio de Janeiro, covering both the sea crossing and the road leg in one seamless transfer.
Traveling in a shared group also means dividing costs with other passengers, making this one of the most economical options available for the route. The group setting naturally creates opportunities to connect with fellow travelers from different parts of the world.
