Shared Speedboat Ride: Super Lagoa Azul Itinerary
Six remarkable stops across the most celebrated waters of Angra dos Reis, all in one five-hour journey.
This Ilha Grande Bay speedboat tour connects six distinct coastal destinations — from island beaches and historic settlements to natural swimming lagoons — in a single, well-paced five-hour shared excursion.
Passengers travel by speedboat across one of Brazil's most celebrated bays, stopping at sites that range from the white sands of Cataguases Islands to the turquoise waters of Lagoa Azul. The itinerary is designed for travelers who want genuine variety without sacrificing time at each location.
The pace is relaxed and the difficulty is rated easy, making this suitable for most ages and fitness levels. Each stop offers its own character, whether that means swimming, a short ecological walk, or sampling traditional caiçara cooking at a beachside restaurant.
Tour Highlights
Swim in the legendary turquoise waters of Lagoa Azul, surrounded by colorful schools of fish in a natural aquarium setting.
Visit Cataguases Island, one of Angra dos Reis' natural treasures, with calm crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkeling and sunbathing.
Take a short ecological walk on Araca Beach, passing a late-19th-century church on the trail from Freguesia de Santana.

Itinerary
This island offers calm, crystal-clear turquoise waters suited to swimming, snorkeling, and observing marine life. Its fine white sand and preserved native forest make it one of the standout first stops in the bay.
Named after the 1980s film starring Brooke Shields, this iconic lagoon is celebrated for its multicolored fish and cinematic blue tones. Visitors can swim, float with noodles, snorkel, or simply observe the schools of fish that gather in abundance.
A small and relatively undiscovered beach with calm, clear waters and dense Atlantic Forest vegetation. It is a recommended stop for those who value tranquility, with good conditions for snorkeling and a beautiful sunset viewpoint.
The historic site of Ilha Grande's first colonial settlement, Freguesia de Santana leads via a short ten-minute trail to Araca Beach. The path passes a notable church from the late 19th century before arriving at a quiet, golden-sand beach with crystal-clear water.
This long-stretch beach is bordered by lush Atlantic Forest that reflects in the sea below. Home to Bar do Luiz, Gipoia Island's first restaurant, it offers a relaxed setting for a post-lunch walk with views of Ilha Grande and the bay's boat traffic.
