Fun day - Beautiful excursion, the boat guys were super fun. Unfortunately we had a cloudy day, I imagine with sunshine it must be much more beautiful.
Note that the trip by micro to the place is about 3 hours round trip and 3 hours round trip.

Amazing - The guide Maristela was great, the crew on boat as well. All the places visited are incredibly beautiful itâs a little paradise. A little long on (3h/4h going and 3h/4h coming back) but bus is very conformtable.

2 hours in pontal do atalaya save the excursion - The good thing: Pontal do Atalaya beach, is what makes me rate as very good the excursion, the free fork to which you are taken for lunch, the transport services offered, the assistance of the guide. The bad: It is an excursion that is charged according to where you hire it and that generates problems among passengers since some are charged 400 reais per person and others 200 going through different values, we pay 100 dollars for two people from tripadvisor. They offer a boat ride that in our case was not done because the prefecture did not authorize the departure of them, but that you find out when they have already picked you up, charged you and you are on your way, there is no option to say no, if you only went for that ride. Finally there are many hours of travel for two beaches in our pontal case of watchtower the best only 2 hs and then about 45 min in big beach also cute but city, he publishes. In watchtower pontoon 150 reais an umbrella and two loungers, there is no option and if there are many people no longer available. Really what is beautiful about pontal is what makes you value the excursion well at the end of the day. I don't know if I recommend it, if I recommend by any means know that beach and stay a full day!!!

Note 5. Taking what was bad, it was ok. - Taxi expenses in Arraial do Cabo are not included and not mentioned in advance, omitting this information. The lunch is actually dinner, as we made the meal around 18h/18h30, after the escuna walk. Tip: Bring snacks. Bus on the go very hot due to engine heating, making the trip suffocating. On the return, bathroom was used while it was standing and was not sanitized, terrible odor, very unpleasant.

Important aspects need to be improved - Picked up very late. And departure to the place more than two hours later. It was 10:30 a.m. and we hadn't left the city yet. They charged 25 reales more per person than what was agreed upon for taxes and the right to ride in a planter. Of the 5-place plan, they only took us to two. And briefly 20 min. Pretty poorly organized for that cost. The guide JoĂŁo was very kind and attentive.
Pick-up, waiting, and punctuality times need to be improved to ensure the tour is carried out and returned on time.

Defilage - Very nice beaches and good vibe on the boat. She was led by a disaster and also charged some people something that was not right for her out-of-pocket benefit. We were picked up 40 minutes late and before leaving they also delayed. Badly organized times. We have lunch at 6 pm!!!

The Horrible Day at the Cable Array - I bought a package with the Brazil show for the cable arrangement for me and my wife, on the day of the trip already on the way and after a little delay in the beginning of the trip, the guide informs that the boat would not be possible due to the wind and it was there that unloaded everything. The guide gave 2 options where the first option would be (go to the beach of the atalaia by taxi without any cost and stay there for 3h.) only that we arrived at the camp was half day (lunch time) and would have to stay 3h on the beach and then return for lunch.
The second option of the tour: ( hire the buggy and pay + 50 kings for one turn)
Conclusion:
I paid + 100 reais for the buggy for me and my wife, arriving on the big beach had no buggy, Guia asked to stay on the beach for 1h that on this beach was a desert and horrible for bathing me and my wife we were waiting from below a tree with the staff of the walk and then we went to a horrible restaurant with a horrible food that many people left and were buying snack outside the restaurant.
we arrived from 12h in the afternoon and the buggy tour only started at 15;40. where there was a disagreement of the guide with a boy who was sad and disappointed with the Waiting time not only him as everyone, and the boy had entered the buggy with his family and the guide went and asked for him to leave and he already stressed wanted the money back and that would not go anymore and to this clash to GUIA XINGOU he that in my view a terrible lack of respect, an unprepared guide who can not receive discontent from a Cover.
Overall I paid 500 reais on the tour for me and my wife dandar from Rio de Janeiro to Arraial do Cabo and lunch at a horrible restaurant. The only thing that saved the tour was the buggy boy who is good and very helpful people who was much more GUIA than the unprepared guide who went with us.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - We booked this tour and the driver never turned up. We waited for over an hour. We tried contacting the company through the TripAdvisor platform and also called their business number several times with no answer. We are now struggling to process a refund through the TripAdvisor app. Horrible experience.
