Diving


Swimming at the sea bottom can be fascinating. There you will find a variety of fish and coral species, as well as caves 10 to 20 metres high . Apart from the natural wonders, you may also come across ancient wrecked ships. Ilha Grande bay was the scene of several battles between pirates and imperial corsairs between the 16th and the 19th centuries, and many galleons wrecked there as a result. That is why the bay concentrates one of the highest numbers of shipwrecks in the world.

 

Boat trips


Yet another of the activities you can try during your holiday at Ilha Grande. This is an ideal way to know and enjoy the most beautiful beaches on the island and in Angra dos Reis. You will be able to visit beaches and small uninhabited islands, to dive and to paractise snorkelling while enjoying the typical Brazilian music.

 

Kayak trips


You can also take a kayak trip and visit the nearest beaches such as Lagoa Verde, Aracatibinha and Praia Longa. Kayak trips are a good choice if you want to do sport and have fun at the same time. Kayaks can be rented directly from the Inn.

 

Snorkelling


Do you fancy a swim through the fascinating underwater world? You will be able to swim beside colour fish, sea turtles and starfish. From November to May is the best time of year to do snorkelling. The sea is quite calm and water temperature reaches about 25°C, with visibility of between 5 and 15 metres. At the Inn you will find all the equipment you need to make the most of nature´s wonders.

Footpaths


Ilha Grande is crossed by footpaths that shorten distances and connect several points. Most of them are signalled and marked on the map for greater safety. Some are difficult to access and are thus recommended for professionals only. Check the characteristics of trails during your stay and choose which ones to take according to your preference.

Fishing


Amateur fishing with hook and line is allowed by the Brazilian Institute of Environment (IBAMA). The use of trammel nets is allowed in professional fishing only. Anchovies, corvinas, squids, swordfish and sardines are among the most frequent catch. For a good catch, apart from having the necessary equipment, you will need good sea conditions and considerable patience.
