Overview

Even if you have only a short time in Rio, you can still explore the Arraial and Buzios on a full day excursion. Make the most of your time by taking a boat tour to uncover the main offshore islands of Arraial do Cabo, hopping from one paradise. The tour explores one of the most beautiful areas of the state of Rio with stops at marvelous beaches. 

Grab a snorkel and go for a swim, free floating dive, stand up paddle, and relax in crystal clear waters. 

After the boat tour, have a delicious typical lunch before driving to the town of Buzios.

As we continue, discover some of the coolest touristic areas in a walking tour in Búzios catching sights and doing some shopping. The downtown works as a large open-air mall and goes far beyond a mere set of shop windows attracting people throughout the day and night.

When night comes downtown gets busy. We may seat down at one of the bars to have some drinks, appetizers and get a feeling of the atmosphere.

Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia
The staircase that gives access to Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia seems to lead to paradise. From the top of the hill, what you see is a paradisiacal setting. It is difficult not to be mesmerized by the view at the top of the stairs, from where you can see the white sand, the colorful sea and the green still preserved in the neighboring Ilha do Farol.

The sand is white and very thin, surrounded by rocks and green vegetation. There is a dune in the center of the beach that offers a beautiful viewpoint.

The Blue Grotto is part of the boat trip that leads to Praia do Farol. The rock formation is just one of the many natural beauties on the route. The whole open sea route is beautiful, with impressive water tones. The Blue Grotto is just one of the beautiful moments, which still have the waves that break fiercely against the rocks.
When traveling to the Blue Grotto, always keep your eyes open. It is not uncommon for tourists to spot dolphins. With any luck, there is even the possibility of seeing some orcas.
