Diversión y relax en Ilha Grande

¡Súper recomendable! El tour de media vuelta a Ilha Grande fue una pasada. Los paisajes son impresionantes, el agua cristalina y la tripulación siempre de buen humor y atentos. Paramos en playas hermosas para nadar y relajarnos. Todo muy bien organizado, así que solo me dediqué a disfrutar. Ideal si querés conocer varios rincones de la isla en poco tiempo. Sin dudas, repetiría. ¡No se lo pierdan!

Perfekte halbe Inselrundfahrt – Viel Spaß und Natur pur auf Ilha Grande!

Mega Tour! Die halbe Inselrundfahrt war einfach genial – super entspannte Stimmung, fantastische Natur und unser Guide war richtig sympathisch. Ich habe viele tolle Ecken von Ilha Grande gesehen, die ich alleine wahrscheinlich verpasst hätte. Perfekt für alle, die was erleben wollen. Würd ich jedem weiterempfehlen!
