Exploring Angra Dos Reis and Ilha Grande in One Day

1. Cais Turistico de Santa Luzia
   Pass by
   Cais de Santa Luzia, located in the heart of Angra dos Reis, is a complex that enchants visitors and serves as a traditional starting point for exploring the islands and taking schooner trips. It is a true reflection of the city's history and tradition, authentically connecting to the fishing culture with its fishermen and colorful boats, providing a perfect image to be immortalized in a photograph during a walk at dusk, with the sea displaying its unmistakable beauty in the background. This scene has inspired countless plastic artists over time, transforming this scenario into dazzling watercolors.
   
   Cais de Santa Luzia is also known as the starting point for boats, being the place where the aquatic journeys begin.
2. Freguesia de Santana Beach
   1h
   Modest beach of moderate extension, receives some visitors during the high season, who find here an excellent option to relax due to the tranquility of the place. Fishing predominates on this beach, and its main visitors are local fishermen. It is a pleasant choice for those who prefer less crowded beaches, where they can rest and recharge. With a wide stretch of golden sand, it has a calm sea, which resembles a natural pool, with transparent waters.
3. Lagoa Verde, Ilha Grande
   Pass by
   Lagoa Verde is one of Ilha Grande's best-known scenic spots, on the border between Praia da Longa and Praia Grande de Aracatiba, where the sea takes on an intense green tone over the rocky bottom. The boat passes by this point without stopping, so you can see and photograph it from on board.
4. Praia de Japariz
   1h
   During the lunch break, we enjoy a meal in a typical restaurant of the region, with a charming difference. The menu is presented to customers while they are on board the vessel, allowing them to choose their meals even before reaching the beach, ensuring fast and efficient service.
   
   We have the option of enjoying lunch in the form of a self-service buffet, offering a delicious variety of dishes. Among the available options are fried fish, fried chicken, beans, rice, various fresh salads, pirão and pasta.
5. Lagoa Azul
   1h
   In the heart of an enchanting archipelago, Lagoa Azul dazzles with its waters in unparalleled tones. This natural pool resembles the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean, making it a favorite destination for visitors who want to go snorkeling or simply enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea. Lagoa Azul and Ilha de Cataguases are the tour's two swimming and snorkeling stops. Snorkeling masks are available to rent on board. These are open-water swim stops over a sandy and rocky bottom with small tropical fish, not a coral reef dive.
6. Cataguas Island
   1h
   Ilha Cataguas is one of the tour's two swimming and snorkeling stops, together with Lagoa Azul. The island is formed by two stretches of land joined by a sandbank that appears at low tide, with fine white sand and calm, turquoise water. From the boat you swim in open water over a sandy and rocky bottom with small tropical fish. Snorkeling masks are available to rent on board. There are no kiosks, bars or restaurants on the island.
