Schooner Rides

Several vessels leave from Armação Beach, downtown, normally in the morning and early evening with prices from R$ 25.00 to R$ 50.00 per person, for rides that go by several beaches and islands in Búzios. The rides take between 2 to 5 hours, depending on the ride you choose.

During the schooner tours, tropical fruits, juices, soft drinks and caipirinhas are served, and there are also stops for diving. During the course you will go by beaches such as Azeda, João Fernandes, Canto, Virgens, Amores and Tartaruga. You can reserve your ride at your inn or directly at the sales points along Rua das Pedras.

Ilha Feia: one of the destinations.
