Rio de Janeiro · BúZIOS BEACH DAY TRIPS
A fishing village that Brigitte Bardot made famous, twenty-odd beaches and a cobbled street of restaurants. These 15 day trips are compared on drive time, whether a boat circuit is included, and how long you actually get before the bus turns round.

“Ainda não acabou mas foi o horror da minha vida tenho 71 anos, já viajei pelo mundo todo. 10 vezes no Brasil e nunca tive uma guia tão horrível, como mandei mensagem devido a um atraso de 1 hora a senhora RAQUEL péssima guia quando chegou e depois de lhe dizer que não me avisaram do atraso, simplesmente me mandou sair do bus, dizendo que seria uma pena eu continuar (somos 4 pessoas de 72, 71, 72e 74 anos chamou-me por imensas vezes merda de portugueses, vocês são uma merda. Acham isto normal. O mínimo que a agência devia ter feito era mudar-nos a excursão. Tive medo de seguir com…”

“Non appoggiatevi a questo tour! Non è mai arrivato nessuno a prenderci. Poco professionali.”
Shared day trip from Rio to Búzios with a schooner ride, top beaches like Tartaruga and Azeda, Rua da Pedras stroll, and lunch.
“We were told to sit in back of the bus. It extremely hot in back. As much as sweating. The tour guide had assigned seats. We asked to change and she wouldn't allow. The tour guide did not speak loud enough to hear in back bus. She more concern about her rating then the experience. I will say the boat staff and experience was great. Question is the 2.5 hr boat ride worth the 8 hr bus ride. Complained to viator that ad doesn't match experience and they had no solution.”

“Trasferimento in pullman lunghissimo….andata 5 ore, ritorno 4,5 con la sensazione di essere all’interno di una cella frigorifera (nonostante avessimo fatto richiesta la temperatura e rimasta intollerabile) Il giro in barca-barcone …sembrava di essere allo stadio, non c’era posto x sedersi Buzios viene presentato come un paesino con acqua cristallina e paesaggi da paradiso….indescrivibile!!! Il centro di Buzios è in realtà una località pulita e ben organizzata a livello turistico il top?…il cibo!!!!…nella presentazione c’è scritto “in uno dei migliori ristoranti di Buzios”…dove siamo stati noi potrebbe ambire al peggiore nel quale ho mangiato Le aspettative erano alte …forse….a chi organizza ...”
Búzios day trip from Rio with hotel pickup, Rua das Pedras walk, lunch buffet, and optional schooner cruise with swimming stops.
“We had a wonderful time in Buzios. The bus picked us up in front of a hotel and the ride from Rio to Buzios took about 2 1/2 hours. The tour guide was great and gave us lots of information, which made us fully enjoy the trip. At Buzios we chose the option to go to one of the beaches instead of on a boat tour since we stayed only one day going back and forth. It probably makes sense to stay at least 2 days if you want to enjoy both the beach and the boat tour. We were taken to a nice restaurant for an excellent buffet. All…”

Full-day Buzios tour from Rio with schooner boat ride, quick swims at top beaches, and time on Rua das Pedras. Hotel pickup.
“This excursion was a fun activity, but the travel time of 2.5 hours to and from Buzios takes away a good portion of your day. While on the boat you will stop at 3 different locations for a quick swim, but the boat doesn't stop at a beach or have anywher to lay out like a catamaran, so don't expect to relax and get a tan on this outing. There are food and drinks on the boat available for purchase, but you are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages. In Buzios you have some time to eat and shop for souvenirs. Our tour guide provided us lunch at…”
Schooner boat tour from Rio to Búzios with calm beaches, snorkeling chances, buffet lunch, and a Rua das Pedras walk.
“Absolutely ridiculous. By buying this ticket you've basically paid for nothing. We brought our own goggles to go snorkeling because we did not want to pay to rent them. Well they make you pay extra to be allowed into the snorkeling area. The picture of the fish you see here is not what you get with this tour. You get nothing. With the area we were allowed to be in you could not see an single animal. Also the stops this boat takes are about 10 feet away from each other and you are there for hardly anytime at all. We were maybe in the water for a total of…”

A 12-hour Búzios day trip from Rio with hotel pickup, guided beach time, a boat ride, and lunch for about $80, plus Rua das Pedras.
“I have a few complaints. The restaurant had stairs and no elevator and it was quite a walk to board the boat. If you need accessible services and can't get up and down stairs, then you probably need to reconsider as there is only one way to get to the upstairs restaurant. And the walk to and from the boat was physically demanding as well. Other than the pain it took to get food as well as board and disembark the boat and bus, it was an okay experience. Julia”
