“It was a bit chaotic once we got off the bus and on the terminal to the ferry but our guide, Lucas kept us together and navigated through it. He was very structured and fun. I enjoyed the beaches. Keep in mind, it is a long journey from Rio, the bus driver drove safety and got us to the destination in good time. The boat itself was super comfy and looked like a pirate ship. I enjoyed sitting up on the roof and taking some sun.”

“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”

“We were a little worry reading reviews from English speaking travelers that they did not received much attention from the guide. We were only two English speaking people on the trip as well. Our experience with guide Nay was very good. As we boarded the bus, she explained how she will handle us as only English speaking participants. When she was going to explain something, she came to us first, explained in English what is/will be happening so we did not feel lost when she was explaining it in Spanish and Portuguese. She did it through entire trip, which was great. Otherwise trip met our expectation, we enjoyed it.”
