From your door in Rio to Vila do Abraão
You just board. The route is on us.
Normalmente o trajeto do seu pickup até a ilha leva em torno de 3h30, somando o trecho terrestre e a travessia. Como é um serviço que busca vários passageiros em pontos diferentes do Rio, o tempo pode variar com o trânsito — na maioria dos casos chega em até 4h, podendo chegar a 4 ou 5 horas. Em feriados ou por imprevistos na estrada, pode levar um pouco mais. Por isso, evite marcar passeio no dia da chegada.
✈️ Catching a flight or bus on the way back? On your return day, leave a bigger time window so you don't risk missing it — or choose the private transfer, which is faster and direct.
Em dias de chuva você pode se molhar um pouco na travessia, mesmo com a embarcação coberta. Leve uma capa de chuva — a viagem acontece normalmente.
Na perna de travessia, em alguns dias o mar fica mais movimentado — pode acontecer até com sol. É normal e seguro; se você enjoa fácil, evite comer muito antes de embarcar.
Nada disso impede a viagem: o transfer acontece com total segurança e faz parte de chegar numa ilha afastada do continente.
