- Freguesia de Santana Beach - Located in the Parish of Santana (3rd stop - Big Island Bay), this is one of the oldest areas on the Big Island. The Church of Santana, the patron of the Great Island, built in the 18th century, is the main attraction, known for its tranquility and simplicity.

- Ilha da Gipoia - At the Beach of the Arrows (4th stop - Island of Gipoia), visitors can enjoy lunch at a typical regional restaurant. The menu is conveniently passed around inside the boat, allowing customers to choose their meal, which is served upon reaching the beach.
- Grumixama Beach - Known as one of the most beautiful beaches on Ilha Grande, it features small, clear, green waters with a unique color.
- Araca Beach (Freguesia de Fora) - Named after a species of vulture, Araçá Beach was famously mentioned by poet Antonio Carlos Jobim as the master vulture of the winds. The camiranga vulture, once abundant on Ilha Grande, inspired the name of this beach, which boasts fine sand and clear water. Stretching 400 meters, it is surrounded by dense vegetation and features green, transparent, and warm waters. It is a popular spot during the high season, attracting tourists who anchor their boats and speedboats nearby.

Boat Ride - James, affectionately nicknamed Sereio, was simply impeccable. A responsible commander, safe and always in good mood, who led us to our destinations with lightness, professionalism and that good energy that makes all the difference. Gratitude for making the journey as special as the arrival.

Great agency, but avoid tours with pilot Gilberto - Me and a friend took two walks with the agency. The first one was great. The second, unfortunately, left to be desired by pilot Gilberto.
In addition to not showing tact to deal with the public — being rude at various times — he simply decided not to pass one of the beaches on the schedule (Grumixama) without any warning to the passengers.
We were only informed of this decision when we were almost getting to the dock and we realized. We questioned why: initially, he said the beach wasn't part of the plan and then suggested that we complain directly to the agency.
We made the complaint at the end of the tour and the agency quickly understood our point, returning the amount corresponding to the unvisited beach. We didn't have any problems with the agency, which was correct and attentive throughout the process (destack for Silvana and Felipe).
Still, the episode ended up damaging the experience a lot. The agency is great and reliable, would go again with them without any problem, but I recommend avoiding tours with Gilberto.
I also suggest that attention be paid to a public service training for him.
