    Excellent tour with Nina as our guide. So knowledgeable, and made it fun, by asking us questions. Highly recommend her. I highly recommend this place

    The nights are as good as the day. The tides vary considerably to much beach to none. Night lighting is good and safe for tourists walking the beach. Great photo op!

    What an AWESOME day. Started out at the Sehrs resort and went on a 7.5 hour dune buggy excursion with Marcilio Buggy. Great tour, we saw and rode on many sand dunes. Great time at the lakes that only form in the rainy season which is June, July, and August. Awesome stops to eat appetizers of grilled lobster, along with the best Caipriahnas which offered many variations of the national drink. I opted for cashew fruit, and pinapple....EXCELLENT!. The final stop at a seaside restaurant for lunch was exquisite!! My fiancee and her daughter opted for grilled steak and fries, her young son and my self opted for the grilled lobsters in butter. Both with rice, and beans. The best part was our host, Marcilio was bi- lingual which really made the tour great for me as I am an American. I would highly recommend this tour for any English speaking travelers, you will not be disappointed. The opportunities for photos is tremendous, and many folks along with our host help to capture this memorable experience. Great memories for us!!!!

    A boat ride to the near by reef is worth the effort if you are out for some snorkelling or diving. The beaches in the area are nice.

    We walked along the beach and it a nice evening. Held hands and walked in the ocean.
    Many picture spots and a lot of food stops along the way.

    The end of the beach near the dune the sand is not normal as it is like clay but too bad.

    As we found out, the shops don't open untill 2pm on a Sunday; and as we were only there on a short visit, we didn't get what we went there for.... If it's shops you want, you don't get any better than this, this Mall is huge, plus a fantastic range of food outlets on the second floor with plenty of seating... very clean throughout, plentry of toilets throughout.. If nothing else, itwas worth coming , just to sit and enjoy a drink and cool down in the aircon,, .. . BM

    its absolutly not touristic and very quiet, as well on weekends only locals on that beach. For family it's nice, because the waves breaking on the riff and you can swimm without any problem in the fantastic clear water.

    Lagoa de Pitangui is the best one near Natal. The bar and restaurant have very good options. There are also boats to rent for half an hour or more. The view is fantastic

    Very laid back, chill...water was clear and warm! Lots of families there. It was a peaceful to be. My hosts took there before I was to speak at a conference that evening. The only down side...I didn't get to stay very long!

    Lots of different beaches in Buzios
    Some small & quaint some more busy with walkers taking photos with the famous Bridget Bardot statue, lots of various restaurants too very clean & felt alot safer here than in Rio & Macae.

    Great view, safe and pleasant construction. There was no selling point for water and food, so take some. Also be aware that it closes at 4pm in localtime
