Brigitte Bardot found Búzios in 1964 and the peninsula has been trading on it ever since, with some justification: twenty-odd beaches on one headland. Below are the best Búzios trips from Rio, compared on boat time versus town time, lunch, group size and how early the pickup lands at your hotel.

“più messaggi in cui viene chiesta la puntualità del cliente (giustamente)e mi sono ritrovata ad aspettare 35 minuti nella hall dell'hotel e nessuno rispondeva ai miei messaggi in cui chiedevo informazioni sul ritardo. partenza ore 8.30 e arrivo a buzios ore 13 FOLLIA. Per la gita viene data l'opzione in lingua inglese ma in tutta la giornata nessuno e stato capace, mi sono dovuta accontentare di una traduzione (scarsa) dal telefono della guida . gita in barca mediocre, l'unica cosa che si salva è la bellezza di Buzios che merita il viaggio.”

“le spiagge di Arrial do Cabo, sono fantastiche come ai Caraibi. Purtroppo per il tour non si può dire lo stesso. Presi in hotel alle 8.20 a Buzios con una macchina ci hanno ad portato ad Arrial do Cabo. Arrivati lì ore 9.20 abbiamo aspettato quasi 2 ore prima che la nostra barca lasciasse il porto. Lasciato la banchina ore 11.15. Visto 4 spiagge di cui solo 2 visitabili solo via gommone. Alle 15.15 rientro in porto. Fermati a mangiare e ritorno a Buzios. La sosta di Cabo Frio inserita nel programma e non fatta? Sicuramente esperienza da non ripetere. Peccato”
