    Our tour time was bumped twice but we did get on the tour a hour and a half later than scheduled. As it turned out it was more of a party excursion than we thought but all in all we had a great time. A great look a Brazilian culture and the beauty of Ilha Grande. Eu gosto tudo.

    Bus from Rio took forever, arrive in the afternoon (half a day wasted).Too many people on boat, lots of confusion between tour agents and tourists. Party atmostphere on boat. Swimming in saltwater swimming pool with lots of people crowding the water. Lots of noise in the water. Saw tropical fish in merky water, then ate them for lunch. Very little time spent on Ilha Grande and arrived on the island after sunset. Best part of trip was going home. Arrived very late in Rio (after midnight).

    <p>A schooner is defined as a sailing vessel, but this was a loud, smelly diesel craft. The ad said limited to 4 persons suggesting that this was a small craft, but there were probably more than 100 people aboard. The tour was supposed to be about 3 hrs, but went longer than 5 and we almost missed our cruise ship's departure. The guide was from Argentina, not Brazil, and although nice, he knew little of the area. The stop for lunch was less than desirable--not sure of the cleanliness of the kitchen, and there were many mosquitos. I would not recommend this to anyone.</p>

    For those who like animation and agitation, it is worth the walk. Super lively, wonderful beaches, crystal clear water, varied lunch, a day to have fun and have contact with nature.
