About this tour

The Island Tour begins at 9:30 AM, meeting at Abraão Beach , where we'll embark on a journey along idyllic beaches, crystal-clear waters, and stunning natural landscapes.

Caxadaço – A hidden paradise

Our journey takes us to Caxadaço, a true hidden gem nestled among enormous rock formations that create one of Ilha Grande's most breathtaking landscapes. Just 15 meters long, this tiny beach enchants with its natural beauty and almost secret atmosphere.

During Brazil's colonial era, Caxadaço served as a natural refuge for ships, thanks to its sheltered location and near-total invisibility from the open sea. Surrounded by lush vegetation and featuring a small natural stream, it is a unique spot that invites visitors to admire nature in its purest form.

Stay time: 30 minutes.

Parnaioca – Nature, tranquility and crystal clear waters

The next stop is Parnaioca, one of the most enchanting beaches on Ilha Grande. Its main attraction is the freshwater stream that flows into the sea, forming a beautiful natural lagoon, perfect for a refreshing swim.

Its crystal-clear, emerald-green waters invite you to swim and watch the fish, while the hammocks and swings along the beach create the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy this idyllic landscape. It's the ideal place to disconnect, enjoy the tranquility, and be captivated by the island's natural beauty.

Length of stay: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Aventureiro – A postcard from paradise

We continued on to Aventureiro, one of the most famous and photographed beaches on Ilha Grande. Its scenery is simply spectacular: crystal-clear waters, lush vegetation, and the iconic leaning palm tree, one of the island's most recognizable symbols.

In addition to enjoying the beach, you can relax by the sea, admire the stunning landscapes, and discover beautiful viewpoints. Aventureiro is located in a Sustainable Development Reserve area, where nature is specially preserved, maintaining the charm of an authentic destination surrounded by natural beauty.

Length of stay: 2 hours.

Groupers – An underwater spectacle

Our final stop will be in Meros, a true paradise for lovers of the sea and marine life. Its clear, calm waters are ideal for snorkeling and observing different species of fish and, with a bit of luck, sea turtles.

And the best part is that you don't need to venture into deep waters to enjoy this experience: even in shallow areas you can admire the fish and the beauty of the seabed. Its emerald green hues and the tranquility of its waters create a perfect setting to enjoy a final moment of connection with nature.

It is no coincidence that Meros is one of the favorite beaches of the inhabitants of Ilha Grande.

Length of stay: 1 hour.

After a day full of incredible landscapes, crystal clear waters and unforgettable moments, we will begin our return to Abraão Beach, with an expected arrival time of 6:00 PM .

Frequently asked questions

The Vuelta a la Isla excursion is a boat trip around different coastal areas of Ilha Grande, with stops that may allow you to enjoy beaches, bays, and natural scenery. The exact itinerary, type of boat, stops, onboard services, and exclusions may vary depending on the date and the operation selected. Before booking, check the current service page on Tangol to confirm what is included, the duration, meals, drinks, transfers, and available activities. This excursion is designed to show several areas of Ilha Grande in one outing, although the route may change because of weather, navigation safety, or operational decisions. The final details shown during the booking process are the most reliable reference for planning your experience.

The duration and departure time of Vuelta a la Isla may depend on the selected date, the boarding point, sea conditions, and the local operator’s organization. Since this is a boat excursion with several possible stops, you should generally allow a significant part of the day and arrive early at the indicated meeting point. The exact departure time, check-in time, and estimated return should be confirmed in the service description or booking voucher. If you are traveling from another city in Brazil, also allow time for your transfer to Ilha Grande. Check the updated information before booking, because the itinerary and schedule may be adjusted for weather, navigation, or operational reasons.

Vuelta a la Isla is a suitable choice for travelers who want to see several beaches and coastal landscapes in Ilha Grande without arranging separate transport between each location. It can appeal to couples, families, groups of friends, and visitors who enjoy boat trips and natural settings. However, comfort depends on the type of vessel, sea conditions, and the length of each stop. Travelers with reduced mobility, pregnant passengers, or families with very young children should ask in advance about boarding conditions, space on the boat, and operator recommendations. Any minimum age, restrictions, or opportunities for water activities must be checked in the current service details. The excursion may not be ideal for people who are uncomfortable with boats or long outings.

You can book Vuelta a la Isla through the service page on Tangol by choosing an available date and entering the requested information. Before confirming, carefully review the cancellation policy, deadlines, change conditions, and voucher instructions. These rules may vary according to the fare, excursion date, and local operator, so you should not assume that every booking allows free cancellation or changes. If you need to cancel or modify the trip, use the contact details provided in your booking confirmation and make the request within the stated deadline. The applicable conditions may also depend on the reason for the change or on weather-related cancellations. Check the current service terms for the exact policy before purchasing.

For Vuelta a la Isla, bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat or cap, sunglasses, drinking water, and a waterproof bag for documents and electronic devices. Wear comfortable footwear and avoid bulky luggage, since storage space on board may be limited. If you plan to swim, pack dry clothes as well. Personal medication and insect repellent can also be useful in Ilha Grande. The island can be visited for much of the year, but the experience depends on weather, wind, and sea conditions. The best months may vary from one season to another. Check the forecast and confirm with the operator whether the departure is operating.

Playas, snorkel y tortugas: un día completo recorriendo Ilha Grande

Fuimos con mi hija adolescente y la Vuelta a la Isla nos pareció ideal para conocer Ilha Grande sin organizar cada traslado. Incluye paseo en lancha, paradas para nadar y hacer snorkel, caminatas cortas por playas preciosas y tiempo para descansar. En una parada vimos tortugas cerca de la embarcación, un detalle que nos encantó. El almuerzo fue sencillo pero abundante, y por el precio rindió muchísimo. El guía contó historias de la isla con mucha onda y paciencia. Ideal si buscan variedad sin gastar una fortuna.

Beaches, snorkeling, island history, and an adaptable guide made this Ilha Grande day unforgettable

After a seriously exhausting year, this day around Ilha Grande was exactly the reset I needed. We stopped at several beaches, swam in clear water, snorkeled near colorful fish, and had time for a relaxed lunch instead of being rushed from boat to boat. Our guide, Rafael, made the difference: he explained how the island’s old prison history shaped local life and pointed out a tiny sea turtle beside the pier at Caxadaço. He also adjusted the route when the wind picked up. Great mix of swimming, scenery, and real local stories.

De lagoas tranquilas a praias selvagens: um dia completo em Ilha Grande

Fizemos o passeio Ao Redor da Ilha durante a lua de mel e foi uma ótima forma de conhecer a Ilha Grande. O roteiro passou por Lagoa Azul, Caxadaço, Dois Rios e Lopes Mendes, com paradas para mergulho e tempo na areia. A equipe organizou tudo direitinho: embarque pontual, instruções claras e água disponível no barco. Levamos snorkel, mas também havia equipamento para alugar. O guia ainda indicou um cantinho calmo perto do Saco do Céu para fotos sem pressa.

Pünktliche Inselrunde mit reibungslosem Transfer, schönen Buchten und überraschend fairem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für Rucksackreisende

Für den Preis war die Inselrundfahrt wirklich stark: Der Transfer vom Anleger zur Abholung lief unkompliziert, und unser Van stand sogar zehn Minuten vor der vereinbarten Zeit bereit. Auch das Boot legte pünktlich um 9 Uhr ab; dadurch hatten wir an den Buchten angenehm viel Zeit. Die deutsch/englischen Erklärungen waren verständlich, Mittagessen und Stopps ordentlich organisiert. Kein Luxus, aber ein sehr faires Gesamtpaket ohne versteckte Zusatzkosten – gerade für Alleinreisende mit kleinem Rucksack.

De Lagoa Azul à Lopes Mendes, une journée d’anniversaire entre criques secrètes et récits passionnants

On a fêté mon anniversaire en couple avec ce tour autour d’Ilha Grande, et quelle bonne idée ! La mer turquoise près de Lagoa Azul, les criques sauvages de Caxadaço et la plage immense de Lopes Mendes étaient magnifiques, chacune avec une ambiance différente. Notre guide, Rafael, connaissait vraiment l’île : il nous a montré un petit passage vers une cascade cachée et raconté que les tortues viennent souvent près de Saco do Céu à marée calme. Bateau confortable, rythme agréable, baignades superbes : une journée joyeuse, pleine de paysages dont on parlera longtemps.
