Circumnavigate the entire island of Ilha Grande by private speedboat, landing on untouched beaches and hidden coves unreachable on foot. This is Ilha Grande at its most cinematic — a full 360° reveal of Brazil's greatest protected island.
What to expect
Depart Abraão in a sleek open speedboat and cut south along the wild Atlantic coast, stopping at Praia de Lopes Mendes, Praia Parnaioca, and Caxadaço beach. Your local skipper narrates the island's ecology and points out howler monkeys along the forest edge. A floating lunch of fresh coconut, tropical fruit, and grilled catch is served at anchor in a turquoise bay. Return at golden hour as the jungle-draped peaks glow amber behind you.
Good to know
Tours depart from Abraão pier from 09:00; full circuit takes 7–8 hours, well within all-aboard. Pre-book at least 72 hours ahead as private boats are limited. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag, and water shoes.
