Amazing - The landscapes of Arraial are amazing, we took a lot of photos, our guide Viviane, the driver Robson and the staff of Tortuga Tur were essential on the tour. The service was very good, everything in the agreed time, we had no intercourse, everything was clarified before the tour The places to visit are beautiful and the food of the restaurant is good, finally, I recommend this experience with C2RIO!

Do not rent snorkels - The stops are short, so take advantage of the opportunity to take quick photos. I do not suggest you rent snorkeling equipment, vest, or buy cell phone protectors.
