5.00The day before I hired the service, and I was picked up by the hotel at the time we had met. The trip was very bearable.When we arrived in Jacarei we were waiting about 10/15 minutes to take the boat and reach the island. It took about 4 hours. Be patient, it takes a long time between searching for all passengers!! It's the only negative.
