Carla Damasceno • 8 July 2022

Boat trips on Ilha Grande what to take:

For those visiting Ilha Grande, boat trips are the most popular option.


 Private or regular, the nautical itineraries take the visitor to know the wonders of Ilha Grande, accessible to practically all audiences.

 You have the opportunity to swim with colourful fish as in the Blue and Green Lagoon tour and be enchanted by knowing the most remote and wild beaches on the island's oceanic side as in the 360° Tour of Ilha Grande


It is necessary to ensure that you have all you need before the tour.

 With that in mind, we have prepared a list of items that cannot be left out when preparing for your journey.


Checklist


-Snacks ( there is always a stop for lunch, but usually more at the end of the tour, so it is nice to have something to eat during the tour)


 -Water


 -Swim wear


 -Spare clothes for after swim


 - Windbreaker or a sweater depending on the time of year


 -Sunglasses.


 - Snorkels


 - Hat or cap


 -Towel


 -Sunscreen


 -Extra money (not all places accept cards, and cell signal is poor in smaller towns) body.



Now that you know what to take on the boat trip, just come and enjoy paradise.

And if you still don't know how to get to Ilha Grande and want to know the best way to arrive, we have a post explaining everything; just check it out.
