Things to do in Angra dos Reis, the way locals do it

In Angra dos Reis, the best days happen on the water. The three experiences most worth your trip are the island-hopping boat tour around the bay, a day on Ilha Grande with the Blue Lagoon, and the hike to Lopes Mendes beach. Below you will find each one with timing, what to pack, safety notes and the right outfit.

You arrived, looked at the bay and thought: where do I even start? We get it. There are 365 islands and never enough time. So we put together what we would tell a friend landing in town. Tested itineraries, no fluff, so you can live the day you will remember. Your invitation to live starts here.

The store on the way to your boat

IMAVI is inside Shopping Piratas, on Praia do Jardim, home to the marina where schooners and speedboats depart. Stop by before you board and step onto the boat ready for the day.
