Description
Enjoy an early morning pickup in Rio and relax on the 3-hour drive to the town of Búzios, often called the Brazilian Saint-Tropez due to the similarities in their natural beauty.
Búzios was a quiet fishing village when its beaches began to attract summer vacationers in the 1950s. Later, a visit from a young Brigitte Bardot revealed the resort to the world. Since then, Búzios has never gone out of style. The low-rise houses, the shop windows on Rua Pedras, the boutique inns, and the lively nightlife make Búzios the most sought-after destination in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Not to mention the beaches—more than 20 along the peninsula—that make it seem as if a piece of the Mediterranean has landed here.
*If you choose the option with a boat trip and lunch included: Arrive at the Búzios docks and board the schooner. Enjoy a boat trip to the best spots for swimming and relaxing. Listen to music and meet the friendly crew, who are ready to help you with anything you need. It's like having a small party on a boat. Explore the four different stops at places like João Fernandes Beach, Azeda and Azedinha Beaches, Tartaruga Beach, and Ossos Beach at the end.
The stops may vary depending on weather conditions and the number of people at each location. The captain chooses the best and least crowded areas for you to have a great time.
Leave the boat for a buffet lunch. Enjoy some free time after lunch to explore Rua das Pedras with its boutique shops and beautiful cobblestone street.
Board the bus and depart Búzios for the return trip to Rio, arriving around 9:00 PM. During peak season, tours may take longer due to traffic and the large crowds in the city.

Um prazer
Saímos encantados. É mais acessível do que parece, não precisa ser atleta. O tempo em Rua das Pedras foi suficiente para aproveitar de verdade. Desfrute é de outro planeta. Incluir ônibus com ar condicionado tira um problema das suas costas. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Rio de Janeiro.

Mejor de lo que esperaba
Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. Es más accesible de lo que parece, no hace falta estar entrenado. Se notaba que el guía es de la zona, contaba cosas de primera mano. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

Altamente recomendable
Nos sorprendió para bien. Pedras justifica el madrugón. El grupo no era enorme, lo que hizo todo más cómodo. Totalmente recomendado.

Imperdible
De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Pedras es de otro planeta. La atención previa a la reserva fue muy clara con todas nuestras dudas. Los baños en el camino son bastante básicos. Totalmente recomendado.

Nice outing
Came away with a good impression. A full day outdoors that flies by. Slick logistics, clearly done every day. There was some dead time in the middle that could be put to better use. Still recommended.
