boat trip to Cagarras Island
Today, take to the waters on a relaxed boat trip to enjoy some of Rio's famous landmarks from a different perspective. While on board, there will be plenty of time to dive and swim in the warm coastal waters, enjoying freshly prepared fruit, light snack and sparkling wine along the way. In the morning, the support vehicle will be on hand for the drive to Marina da Gloria, the starting point for today's voyage. The boat passes by Sugar Loaf Mountain, the city centre, and many of Rio's well-known beaches, such as Leblon, Copacabana, and Ipanema. The craft will drop anchor near Cagarras Island, an uninhabited archipelago 3 miles off Ipanema Beach, an ideal place to dive and swim (though not to walk, as the Island is property of the Brazilian navy). While at Cagarras, refreshments will be on offer. The journey continues in a loop, taking in the beautiful coastline from a different angle, until returning to the marina. Once back on dry land, the support vehicle will be waiting to transfer back to the hotel.
