★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 65 reviews · 3 hours · from $30

3-hour Búzios catamaran with hotel pickup, premium comfort, three swim stops, and iconic beach views like Azeda and Tartaruga for $30.

“Uns wurde ein Transfer zum Katamaran zugesichert. Dieser wurde dann einen Tag vor dem Ausflug zurückgezogen. somit mussten wir laufen. Leider gab es dann erstmal über eine Stunde Verzögerung bis wir auf dem Katamaran angekommen sind... Laut Beschreibung ist es ein Ausflug zu den besten Tauchspots der Insel. Die drei spots waren aber alles andere als schön zum Tauchen. Das Wasser war total trüb sodass man leider nichts sehen konnte außer ein paar Fische die der Guide angelockt hat...

“Do not book this tour unless you speak Portuguese, and you are familiar with Buzos. They require you to meet at a particular address, not at a dock, but none of the streets are marked. They had provided us two different addresses, but neither could be located. We walked around for over an hour, and asked multiple people who gave us all different directions. We even stopped at their booth in town, and when the woman realized we weren’t looking to book tickets, she sent us in the wrong direction 10 minutes. We could see the catamaran in the bay, but never saw it moved to shore so passengers could…”
