Things to Do in Ilhabela

Ilhabela is an island, reachable only by ferry from São Sebastião, which keeps it noticeably calmer than the mainland resort towns. Behind its beaches sits Atlantic rainforest thick enough to hide over 300 waterfalls, and the sailing here is considered the best on the São Paulo coast. It's a longer trip than Santos or Guarujá, so plan on staying at least one night. Below is the top-rated Ilhabela tour.
