You step onto the boat as the harbor breathes salt and diesel; the hull cuts through turquoise lanes and the coastline stretches like a map that wants to be read. Arraial do Cabo’s cliffs lean toward the sea, throwing shaded pockets and sudden panoramas of white sand and reef. The day moves in chapters: a narrow fissure of rock, clear-water coves, a protected island with visitor limits, and a blue grotto that turns sunlight into color.
