The Green Toad Bus offers direct transfers to Ilha Grande from Rio de Janeiro, Paraty, and Buzios using passenger transport vehicles. Of course Ilha Grande is an island and you need a boat to get there, but don’t worry, your Ilha Grande boat transfer is included along with the shuttle service.

From Rio the van makes pick-ups around the city, before heading a couple hours out of the city to meet boats located at the coastal town of Conceicao de Jacarei. The boat trip across to Ilha Grande allows you to take in great views as you approach the tropical Island and the main town of Vila Abraao.

Similarly, the transfer from Paraty to Ilha Grande makes life easier. The shuttle sets out each morning picking people up from their hotels or pousadas. After everyone is picked up, you will then make the trip north to meet the boat to Ilha Grande.
