Cruise past dramatic cliffs, try planasub in crystal-clear shallows, and finish with a beachside barbecue as the sun drops behind Morro Dois Irmãos. This three‑hour VIP sunset blends gentle water time with panoramic island views and local conservation-minded hospitality.

The boat slips away from the island’s small port as the sun begins its slow descent, the water catching light like a line of molten glass. Guests step onto a low-profile PLANASUB board in the calm shallows of Biboca Beach and the port, where the sea feels deliberate and welcoming — the current nudging rather than challenging. The ride past secondary islets reveals Morro Dois Irmãos rising dark and dramatic, a cliff face that frames the horizon and begs for one more photo before dusk.
