Itinerary

  • Ponte Rio–Niteroi (Pass By)

    Pass by the Rio-Niteroi Bridge on your way to Buzios and catch up nice views from Guanabara bau and surrounding areas.

  • Rua das Pedras

    Upon arrival in Búzios, the group is taken on a walk through cobbled streets rich with quaint charm, made famous by the French actress Brigitte Bardot. Walk through the famous Rua das Pedras and check out famous stores, many souvenirs and good food. If you are not taking the boat ride, take your time to visit all of it, besides the amazing Buzios coastline.

    5 hours

  • Azeda Beach

    If you choose the optional cruise, enjoy the Buzios coastline from a different perspective and on a different way. Azeda Beach is among the most sought after by tourists. The beach is small, charming and with calm and colorful sea. It is next to Azedinha. They are divided only by a strip of stone, and in Azedinha there is no construction to hide the look of the forest. Each stop lasts around 30 minutes, and you can go to the beach instead of staying inside the schooner.

    30 minutes

  • Praia Joao Fernandes

    Surrounded by lodges, hotels and luxury condominiums, the beach has perfect calm waters for kayaking, as well as snorkeling beaches. It is no accident that it is an obligatory stop for the schooner trips. The beach is a favorite of foreign tourists, who find good infrastructure of bars and restaurants serving snacks and dishes based on lobsters and shrimps. The kiosks stand on a plateau, but they often spread tables and chairs in the sand. If you prefer to get away from the usual buzz of noise, walk to the right corner, a little quieter.

    30 minutes

  • Praia da Tartaruga

    The beach has calm waters, and generally the warmest of the region, since it does not receive the cold currents of Antarctica. Take the opportunity to swim and snorkel in the shores at the far right. Along the extensive strip of sand, kiosks for all tastes spread tables, chairs and sun loungers.

    30 minutes

  • Orla Bardot Boardwalk (Pass By)

    The Bardot shore is always colored by the fishing boats. A walk along the boardwalk, dotted with wooden decks, benches and gardens, features the bronze sculptures of famous visitors such as French actress Brigitte Bardot and former President Juscelino Kubitschek. Residents and illustrious workers - the fishermen - are also honored there, through a beautiful monument signed by the sculptor Christina Motta.

  • N/A

    Have a formidable lunch at high rated restaurant in Búzios. Enjoy a variety of local foods in a delicoius buffet. Drinks are not included.

Great Day in Pretty Buzios

Published on Feb, 2023

Had a great day trip to Buzios. Enjoyed the boat and swimming opportunity. Lunch was ok. Many lovely restaurants open up for the evening so if you have time 2-3 days in Buzios might give more time to relax and enjoy. The bus trip was long. Overall 5 hrs in Buzios and 4.5 hrs to get there and due to storm 5hrs to get back to Rio.

Beauty and the Beach

Published on Jun, 2019

Visiting Buzios is a must! My husband and I enjoyed our visit via a tour headed by our guide Christina. She was friendly, professional and more than accomodating to all her guests throughout our trip. The boat excursion was amazing! We enjoyed snorkeling, swimming, samba dancing and slide on the boat which shoots you into the ocean! The lunch provided was amazing with many options. It was a great day ending with a beautiful sunset on the beach. Thank you Christina!

Wow nver knew about Buzio before

Published on Dec, 2018

Had a great tour guide Marcia. I never heared of Buzios until I first search this site. It is a wonder place many beaches and the boat ride was amazing. My friend did the snorkeling and really enjoyed it. The trip is a highlight of the city. Going there once you realize there is so much to do and you can actually spend a week there. Now that I have been to Buzios I am planning to return to Brazil and stay an entire week in Buzio. A sort of hidden gem.

AWESOME food!!! Nice guide, great...

AWESOME food!!! Nice guide, great experience of the cuise. All in all it was an experirnce

We had a wonderful time in Buzios...

Published on Oct, 2016

We had a wonderful time in Buzios. The bus picked us up in front of a hotel and the ride from Rio to Buzios took about 2 1/2 hours. The tour guide was great and gave us lots of information, which made us fully enjoy the trip. At Buzios we chose the option to go to one of the beaches instead of on a boat tour since we stayed only one day going back and forth. It probably makes sense to stay at least 2 days if you want to enjoy both the beach and the boat tour. We were taken to a nice restaurant for an excellent buffet. All in all, thumbs up!
