Two experiences guided by Cabo Frio locals

Activities created and run by local residents. They go well beyond the usual tour and let you into the town's own world — book them through the hotel's front desk.

Experience 01

Photography

Make your moments last with a photo session in Cabo Frio — for solo travelers, couples, families and friends. Photographer Vanessa Barone shoots model, adult, children’s, maternity, couple, pre- and post-wedding sessions, with printed albums, a digital album and high-resolution images.

An outdoor session depends on the weather and can be rescheduled.

Experience 02

Sandboard

A cousin of snowboarding, with a bit of surf and skate to it: sandboarders slide down the sand formations of the Cabo Frio dunes, with tricks off the ramps and smooth runs over the fine white sand.

The theory and practice lessons are taught by instructor Rafael Marendino and an assistant, and cover the history of the site as well as guidance on protecting the environment.

For beginners
