Lagoa Azul & Ilha Grande Blue Lagoon Private Snorkel Tour

Slip into the otherworldly turquoise waters of Lagoa Azul — Ilha Grande's famous Blue Lagoon — on a private guided snorkel excursion. Technicolour reef fish, sea turtles, and pristine coral await just below the surface.

What to expect

A private speedboat whisks you 20 minutes northwest of Abraão to the sheltered cove of Lagoa Azul, whose gin-clear shallows sit inside a marine protected area. Your certified guide briefs you on the ecosystem and leads you through coral heads alive with trumpetfish, parrotfish, and curious green turtles. Stops at Ilha do Araújo and Enseada das Estrelas round out the morning. Cold water and fresh pineapple are waiting on the boat when you surface.
