Glide by private speedboat to Lopes Mendes — Brazil's most breathtaking beach — and the crystalline Lagoa Azul natural aquarium. Snorkel in glass-clear Atlantic waters with the archipelago virtually to yourselves.
What to expect
Your private speedboat departs directly from the pier and cuts across the sparkling Baía da Ilha Grande in around 40 minutes. You'll step onto the ivory sands of Lopes Mendes with almost no crowds before the day-trippers arrive. The Lagoa Azul stop offers snorkelling over technicolour reef fish in water so clear it looks computer-rendered. Your guide manages all logistics, coolers, and snorkel gear so the day is effortless.
Good to know
Book at least 2 weeks ahead; private charters sell out fast in peak season (Dec–Mar). Confirm your all-aboard time with the guide — the typical 6-7 hr tour fits comfortably within a standard port day. Bring reef-safe sunscreen; standard sunscreen is discouraged in protected waters.
