This was an all-day tour - 15 hours, and about half of those hours were spent picking up/dropping off passengers and driving to/from Angra dos Reis. They arrived 30 minutes late and we were dropped off an hour late at the end of the day. Our guide was pleasant, but at no point did we ever feel like we were getting a guided tour. The entire bus ride could have been filled with information about areas we were driving through, but that didn't occur. Part of the issue was probably that, even though we'd signed up for the English tour, there were only about 6 out of 40 people who were English-speaking. The others were Italian, Brazilian and Mexican, so our guide had to repeat any information in 4 different languages (which was impressive). The boat ride itself was quite fun and we stopped in three different locations for swimming and caught a beautiful sunset on the way back. The meal at the end was quite underwhelming. It seemed to be a tour better-suited to locals and for a younger crowd

The arrangements were well organized and the personnel very courteous and helpful. Unfortunately the weather did not co-operate as it was cold, windy and rainy. But the staff did the best they could in the situation. Our guide was particularly helpful. The trip would have been delightful on a warm, sunny day. Our first boat broke down, but the staff dealt with it professionally and in a timely manner and with minimal disruption to all.
