Reviews
The bus trip to Arrial Do Cabo took 6 hours it should have been listed on the description of tour. The buffet charges extra if you don’t eat every crumb on your plate in addition to the price of your tour. The tour price is half cheaper than Klook if you book directly from the vendor on the beach. Our bus ride back had an engine fire so we had to evacuate on the side of the highway around 11pm after a full day of bus, boat and swimming it was very traumatizing to wake up on the bus to a fire and evacuate an hour away from my hotel. We had to book an Uber to pay for the ride back.
Overall decent tour. The location was quite far from Rio (3-4h drive) and this wasn't accounted for in the itinerary. The tour takes a lot longer than advertised. The description says 3pm wrap up but expect a 10pm drop off at the hotel. Also, lunch is served quite late and there is minimal opportunity to get snacks on the way. The restaurant for lunch is quite low quality.
