Rio de Janeiro · RIO SPEEDBOAT & SCHOONER CRUISES
9 tours
The good rio speedboat & schooner cruises in Rio fill up first, especially between December and Carnival. Below are the 9 best, each with a current price and what makes it different, so you can book before the calendar closes.
Shared speedboat through Paraty's Saco do Mamanguá fjord, snorkeling at Ilha dos Cocos, optional Pico do Pão de Açúcar hike.
“Lovely day out on a speed boat. We did some swimming and hiking!”
Sail from Angra dos Reis to Ilha Grande by schooner, snorkel Lagoa Azul, visit Araca and Botinas Islands, plus optional lunch.
“Passeio básico para quem vai a Angra, pelo preço vale a pena e você consegue mergulha e curtir um pouco a praia. Porém, levem lanches. No barco a única opção de compra era fandangos e o preço do almoço (se não estiver incluso) é absurdo. Um prato simples de filé de frango com batatas fritas é 170 reais, e não há outra opção para se alimentar. De resto, o passeio vale a pena.”
Small-group speedboat from Rio to Ilha Grande and Angra dos Reis, with lagoon stops, snorkel swims, and optional underwater photos.
“Wonderful locations, nice, calm beaches - absolutely worth the price. We had brilliant tour guides(both Eva and Kako we amazing, cheerful & super-helpful), and despite the not-that-great weather, we had a really memorable day around the islands. The only downside was that the transportation driver was slow and careless at the same time, so our trip back was quite ugly. Anyway, we will remember the stunning views, the speedboad, the our nice tour guides.”
A 7-hour speedboat from Vila do Abraão to paradise islands near Angra dos Reis, with 5 swim stops and Dentista Beach time.
“Had a great time on the boat. Especially the guide was super nice.”
Shared speedboat from Urca to Cagarras Islands, beer included and two swim stops. Small group, flexible route, Rio by sea.
“Great views of Rio de Janeiro from the water. Swimming was fun out by the islands. Good opportunity to meet and chat with other travelers. Cold beers included on the tour were a nice bonus too.”
Ride a traditional schooner in Búzios, passing 12 beaches and stopping to swim at João Fernandes, Feia Island, and Little Turtle.
“Tur çok kalabalıktı. Tekne fazla kişi alıyor.”
Private speedboat day trip from Rio to Ilha Grande with a full beach-hopping route, swimming spots, and a comfortable transfer.
“Tatiana managed a fun and easy trip to Ilha Grande. She’s informative and helped make this a memorable day. This is a must do tour if you want something special.”
5-hour speedboat from Angra dos Reis to Ilha Grande with Lagoa Azul snorkeling, swims at Grumixama, Freguesia church views, and Cataguás.
“Não tinha nada de paradisíaco. Passeio simples, pouco atrativo. Não faria novamente”
8-hour speedboat loop around Ilha Grande with free time at wild beaches, snorkeling, and a coconut tree photo stop.
