Road Transfer + Boat Crossing

Transfer with daily departures from Vila do Abraão, on Ilha Grande, to Rio de Janeiro.

Our transfer is the fastest and safest way to travel from Ilha Grande to the airports and the city of Rio de Janeiro.

 

Shared transfer: the most economical option

You travel in a vehicle shared with other passengers, and the boat crossing is already included. You board in Vila do Abraão and, when you get off the boat, our vehicle will be parked near the pier. We take you to the door in Rio de Janeiro’s main neighbourhoods, such as Zona Sul, Centro, Barra and Tijuca, as well as to Santos Dumont and Galeão airports. For other neighbourhoods and towns in the region, you get off at one of our meeting points along the route.

 

Private transfer: faster and more comfortable

The vehicle is exclusively for you and your group, with no stops to pick up other passengers. We pick you up at the door at any address in the city of Rio de Janeiro, including the airports, and drive straight to Marina Porto Real. It is about 2 hours by road, with an immediate connection to the boat to Vila do Abraão.

The departure time is set according to the (shared) crossing you choose. You can choose between a standard or executive car, an executive van or a bus, depending on the size of the group.

 

The Ilha Grande tourist tax is charged by Angra dos Reis City Hall and is not included in the transfer prices.

Once we receive your booking, we will contact you to confirm the pick-up point.

Do I need to book my transfer in advance?

Yes, always. On public holidays, weekends and in high season, we recommend booking even further ahead. We have a limited number of seats per departure, and they do sell out. When you book online, you get your confirmation right away, then the voucher by e-mail, and you just show it at the pier.

Is the crossing to Ilha Grande safe? Does the boat run in the rain?

Yes. Flexboats are certified by the Brazilian Navy, carry life jackets for every passenger and are operated by experienced sailors. They have a fibreglass hull and inflatable sides, which give stability and safety. They run normally in the rain. In extreme sea conditions, the departure is cancelled for safety and you will be notified immediately.
