    They picked me up at my hostel, right on time on a comfortable bus, after picking up some other passengers, the driver handed out our ferry tickets. When we arrived at the ferry terminal a crew member was welcoming us, and give some advise about shops, atms and pharmacy, that we could visit during the waiting time for the ferry, the check in process to the ferry was smooth and so was the crossing. A perfect, easy and professional way between Paraty and Ilha Grande, highly recommended!
