    Alternatively, we can sail toward Niterói to explore its coastline and beaches, offering more time cruising and seeing different places.

    Red Beach and Niterói are alternative routes to the Cagarras Islands. We choose one of these three options for the tour, based on your preferences and safe navigation conditions; there is not enough time to combine them all or visit both Cagarras and Niterói.

    **This route is available only when wind and sea conditions permit a safe open-water crossing.** Sunny weather alone does not guarantee access. Red Beach or the Niterói coastline are alternative routes, and only one route is covered during the tour. Any necessary change will be discussed with you before departure.
