We took a two hour bus journey from Paraty to Angra Dos Reis where we got a schooner for an hour and a half to the island. We booked into a hostel call Pousada Alfa which was quiet but perfect for what we wanted. There was a blackout when we got to the island so our torches came in handy. Definitely added to the island experience!!
We took a boat trip around the island which stopped at some lovely beaches and we got to see the great scenery around the island. The highlight of the boat trip has to be visiting the blue lagoon where we got to swim with the fish and saw a cool starfish, sea cucumbers and turtles, etc. Check out the photo of LJ being attacked by fish!!
Next day we went to Lopez Mendes beach. We had to trek for two and a half hours to get there but it was well worth it. There are no boats or restaurants allowed on the beach which makes it one of best beaches we have ever seen. Clear blue warm water, white sand and no noise!! Paradise!!
Would definitely recommend the island to anybody going that direction.
Ilha Grande done!!
