Getting There

Boat from Ilha Grande

To get to Praia dos Macacos from any location in Ilha Grande, you will need to take a boat as it is located on Ilha dos Macacos, which is not reachable by road. Head to the main port in Vila do Abraão, the largest village on Ilha Grande. Look for local boat operators offering trips to Praia dos Macacos. The journey typically takes about 20-30 minutes and costs approximately R$ 30-50 per person, depending on the season and demand. Make sure to check the boat schedule, as departures may vary throughout the day.
Hiking from the closest beach

If you prefer a more adventurous route, you can hike to Praia dos Macacos from the nearest beach, Praia de Lopes Mendes. From Vila do Abraão, take a boat to Praia de Lopes Mendes, which is about a 15-minute journey. Once you arrive at Lopes Mendes, follow the marked trail that leads to Praia dos Macacos. The hike is scenic but can be challenging, taking about 1-2 hours, so wear comfortable shoes and carry water. Note that this option does not incur any additional boat costs, but you may need to pay a small fee for the boat to Lopes Mendes.
Taxi Boat

For a more private and quicker option, consider hiring a taxi boat from Vila do Abraão directly to Praia dos Macacos. This can be arranged at the main port. The cost for a private taxi boat can range from R$ 150 to R$ 300, depending on the number of passengers and negotiation with the boat operator. This option allows you to choose your departure time and enjoy a direct ride to the beach without waiting for scheduled departures.
