Angra dos Reis - Ilha Grande Boat Crossing
The best crossing point if you're coming from São Paulo or Paraty.
Angra dos Reis is the best crossing point if you're coming from São Paulo or Paraty — and also an option if you arrive at Rio's bus terminal. The city has plenty of infrastructure: a bus terminal and a tourism pier with many departure times. Keep in mind parking is pricier and it's farther from Rio.
Angra dos Reis - Ilha Grande Boat Crossing
Como você chega na Ilha Grande
Your crossing, step by step
Safety taken seriously on your crossing
Em dias de chuva você pode se molhar um pouco, mesmo com a embarcação coberta. Leve uma capa de chuva — a travessia acontece normalmente.
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.
None of this stops the trip: the crossing happens in total safety and is part of the experience of reaching an island away from the mainland.
