Today is the first day of the tour and arrival day to Rio de Janeiro with its world famous beaches, eclectic vibe and samba atmosphere, making it one of the best party cities in the world! Your guide will collect you from the airport and take you to the hotel and we will then head out for a welcome dinner.

We will first visit the Sugar Loaf mountain, with its spectacular views over the coastline of Rio and then continue to the world-famous, and Modern wonder of the world, Christ The Redeemer, “Corcovado” monument. After lunch, you will have a free afternoon to enjoy the world-famous beaches of the city.
After breakfast we will head to the small port of Angra dos Reis, to take the ferry to Ilha Grande. The island is a slice of paradise, with endless white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and tropical forest trails, the perfect place for a remote beach experience.
After breakfast, we will head out on a full-day tour including The Blue Lagoon or Lagoa Azul for breath-taking snorkelling, Freguesia de Santana Beach for its crystalline waters and shoals of fish perfect for snorkelers and divers, Japariz Beach and its spectacular island views and Saco do Ceu, for the idyllic ocean scene.
Today we once more head out to explore the incredible island of Ilha Grande. We will first visit Morcego’s Island (Bat Island) Arrecifes’ Island, Mangues Beach and Lopes Mendes beach for more idyllic, pristine Island paradises.
Today we leave this island paradise to head on to our next incredible destination. We will take the boat back to Rio de Janeiro and head straight to the airport for our flight to Salvador. Our guide will be waiting at the airport to take us to the hotel in this colourful, colonial town.
After breakfast, we will enjoy a historical & panoramic city tour of this Portuguese colonial outpost with its remarkable architecture and Afro- Brazilian vibe. This home of the Capoeira and famous carnival city has so many sights to see and all within a stone’s throw from the spectacular coastline and pristine beaches.
Today we head to the airport for our flight to Porto Seguro. On arrival, our guide will take us to Arraial D’Ajuda Eco resort by ferry. This coastal tourist village has an array of things on offer to visitors to the area and of course, its beautiful beaches and coastline activities.
Today is a free day to enjoy the beach, the swimming pool and opulent water parks in the area, as well as the many hotel activities. This once holiday destination for the rich and famous is now wonderfully accessible to everyone with adventures abound.
Today we will leave the resort to head to chilled out Trancoso. With stunning beaches, yellow sand and a vivid collage of blue water. Idyllic doesn’t quite describe this incredibly beautiful area of Bahia.
Today we will head out to one of the best beaches in the area at Praia do Espelho, which means Beach of Mirrors. This picture-perfect beach is probably our ideal image of what a beach should look like and you will not be disappointed. Stereotypical white sandy beaches, palm trees and transparent, warm waters are all present and the remoteness of this beach only adds to its flawless magic.
Our final day of paradise ends with a transfer to the airport of Porto Seguro for your onward destination. Leaving this paradise behind will not be easy just remember that these spectacular beaches will still be hear for your next holiday, to totally get away from it all!
