Timing. - They need to say the truth about this trip. This is a literally a WHOLE day trip. They tell you be half an hour early but they can either come at the exact time or later from the location that they are picking you up. They dont tell you they are picking other’s customers and that might take multiple hrs, yes multiple. You technically are at your stop between 6:30 am / 7 am and get pick up during that time or by 8 am like we did, or even later, yes later. Some customers got picked up around 9 am, yes 9. The ride is about 3 hrs but it can be more if they are also picking more passengers on their away. You get to the first stop around 12pm, and you start heading back around 5/6 pm. The whole experience is nice however it takes a lot of time. You get back to rio around 9 pm or 10 pm depending on your stop. So please aware in case you want to schedule it.

Fun beach/boat day - Fun boat day that takes you to 2 snorkeling spots, the second stop you could see the fishes from the boat and then to 2 very pretty beaches. Be prepared to pay for drinks and snacks on the boat there is no free open bar and the included lunch not that great. Also prepare for 2 hour bus ride up and 2 hour bus ride back not too bad though the buses are clean and comfortable.

Great tour, great organization - Good organization, everything went smoothly. Friendly guides. They led professionally through the day. The information provided by the provider, in preparation for the tour, was very helpful. So you could enjoy the day perfectly and there were no negative experiences. Only the food offered was not the real thing. Unfortunately only buffet where taste and selection left something to be desired. But overall a great day.

Not exactly as described - Tldr: Okay tour, not exactly as described. Expected less party and more sealife. Overall the experience was good. However based on the pictures and locations in the itinerary we expected that we will sea lots of coral reefs and colorful fish. The boat ride was more of a “party boat” than an “explore nature” boat which was also unexpected based on the description. The locations did not have good visibility underwater even with the sunny weather we had, nothing like the pictures. We only saw the big school of fish where people take pictures next to the boat (and they only come around because the crew throws them food). Our tour did NOT take us to Lagõa Azul and Praia de Araçatibinha as it says in the itinerary but to other less impressive places with no wildlife or visibility. A bit disappointing. We accidentally stumbled on a sea turtle in a fenced off area at Plaia de Freguesia de Santana and we swam with it, which was the highlight of the trip even though it was accidental.

Unfortunately I do not recommend it - Unfortunately we did not like the tour to Angra dos Reis at all. Our trip to Rio is the only day we would change completely. To begin with, we requested a day change 2 months in advance, to which we responded that no problem. A few weeks earlier we wrote to them by email to confirm the tour and they reaffirmed the day and time. Over the days, as no one wrote to us we sent an email again and we were confirmed again with pick-up time to the hotel at 07:00 hrs. The day of the tour was 7:30 and a bus just arrived to pick up the tourists, but we were not allowed in because we were not on the guide's list. They told us to keep waiting for another bus. It was 7:45 and there were no more buses. We wrote to the agency by wsp and they responded at 08:00 saying there was an error in the coordination of their buses. Since the bus had already left and crossed the whole city, we were asked to take an uber to the center of Rio to reach the bus. We had to take the uber and the bus waited for us downtown. This generated a long delay in all bus schedules, regardless of the waiting time we had to endure in addition to having to take the uber. Likewise, they gave us back the money we used in the uber. Then the journey itself is a long one. There was just traffic on the road and we arrived at 13:00 hrs to Angra dos Reis, it was all morning traveling by bus. Then you get on the boat, which is full of people because you get together with 3 more groups. On the boat they sell drinks and meals, but you have to pay for them in part. All that still took time to leave. When the boat finally leaves you are a good time traveling until you reach Laguna Azul, where you can swim with fish. That part was beautiful for the fish, but the water is not crystal clear as the description says. At least the day it was our turn was pretty dirty and full of splinters. The rest of the trip was a little more of the same, 90% is just boat trip and give you time to go down to the beaches and islands, but there is not much to see either. Lunch was around 17:00 and you could tell the whole boat was very hungry. The buffet offered on the island is not very rich and does not have much variety. Finally the return journey is equally long, we end up arriving at 23:00 very tired. Unfortunately we had high expectations with this trip, but the organization disappointed us a lot.
