Place simply spectacular! A Maragogi in the state of SP! It is worth the walk!!! There are two sides of the island and the connection is through a nice little trail and easy walking. We took our cooler pq we had read that the service of the place was bad and the values were high. There really is only one small restaurant (we have not seen prices) and that charges ten reais for the use of the bathroom of non-customers. The other side of the island has much more beautiful landscapes, fish that swim with us. We will come back much more times pq the landscape is simply stunning of so beautiful!!!!

Sensational! This beach is an Atlantic forest experience with a beach with crystal clear, warm waters. It's absurdly good! We left Picinguaba and paid 85 reais for the taxi boat. Allowed to stay 3h on the island only. We arrived on one side of the beach and then we made the trail (hyper easy and short level) and we arrived on the other side, where there is the beach without the boats. I didn't look for restaurants, but I seemed to have one, but I don't think that's the island's purpose. Bring a cooler and cookies. I'd come back millions of times. It is very beautiful and the water perfect for swimming. Sink fast really. Those who can't swim should just stay at the tip. It's worth every penny. To improve the experience, we saw a lazy girl and her little puppy.

From Picinguaba, the tour to Couves Island was an incredible experience. Sailing through the crystal clear waters, the view of the green mountains at the bottom was breathtaking. Upon arrival on the island, the white sand beaches and turquoise-blue waters enchanted. Walking the trail, diving and seeing the colorful fish have completed the perfect day amidst untouched nature.

I've been to Couves Island about 15 times. I always remind. Transparent ases in a greenish tone, with stones where various types of fish are housed, providing a very cool experience if you wear glasses or snorkel. If you have a waterproof camera, it gets even better.
The island is well sheltered by streams and east winds. The formation of the island is also very beautiful, with a "arm" of stones extending for several meters up to a cave. Very good to dive too.

The beach is phenomenal!!! So beautiful, surreal, with transparent waters, full of fish, and super calm sea. As there is a limit on the number of people and time on the beach, it is not crowded. We went on a weekday, out of season and it was perfect!
Access is via boat, from Picinguaba beach, 70 reais per person (round trip) and stays there for 3 hours. There are times at 8, 11 or 2. We went at 11 and we loved it so much!!! Unforgettable!!!

Access is by boat, costing R$85 per person (a price that I consider a bit abusive), but the place is well worth it! It is an almost exclusive beach as access is controlled by person. Calm and crystal clear waters, you can see the colorful fish around you with the naked eye! An open-air aquarium! A dream!

The place is beautiful, but I didn't go. Terrible service from Deyves Martins when booking.
When reporting a discrepancy in the value published by Instagram and on the website, with a difference of 30 reais per person, he told me that I was using Mi Mi Mi, completely disrespecting consumer rights.
I am informing you of the situation here and will then open a ticket with Procon.
Total disregard and rude and unnecessary service. It's a shame to have professionals like this harming tourism in the region.

The island is beautiful, you can see fish and turtles. The infrastructure of the restaurant is not that good, the food is expensive, service is slow…. We stayed more than 1
Time just waiting for a dish made for 1 person…..PF value, 55.00 well served with rice and beans, no mix. The bathroom wasn't flushing... They don't accept credit cards. Internet signal is not good.

The nature is incredible, I will definitely come back for the place. The restaurant, the only popcorn shop on the island, has terrible service. A gratuitous rudeness on the part of the employees, and you have no one to complain to (there is no manager, no owner) just employees with a lot of bad will.
Suggestion: bring a cooler with water, drinks and a snack.

We lucked out and went here on a slow day. Our boat had 8 people (our group of 4 and another group of 4) and we were the only ones on the island. It was the first sunny day after several rainy days so perhaps people were hesitant to go out? Regardless this is a beautiful spot, though I would not recommend it on a busy day as it is quite small.

Ola. Você disse 30 reais. Você quer dizer 30 para ir e 30 para voltar ou apenas 30 pela ida e volta? Pergunto porque agora estão cobrando o dobro, 60 reais. Obrigado

Alguem tem o contato de barqueiros q saem de ubatuba para a ilha das couves??
Written November 24, 2019
O melhor local é sair de picinguaba pois o tempo de trajeto é pequeno.. Lá eles tem uma associação de barqueiros.. Até o meio de dezembro me disseram que o valor será 40 reais, após 50 por pessoa.. Para chegar em piciniguaba tem uma estrada bem ruim, porém como fui com criança e não tinhamos andando de barco em alto mar optei pela viagem ser mais curta.. Porém tem boas opções na praia do Félix por 80 reais, porém passa em mais ilhas e a viagem é longa.

Olá boa tarde !! Vc poderia me passar algum contato, ou dica de onde posso pegar o barco taxi para chegar até a ilha das couves ? Por favor
Written October 8, 2019
Se quiser gastar menos saia de piciniguaba lá tem uma associação de barqueiros que saem a todo instante, agora se deseja algo mais especial saia do Félix ou Itaguá onde é mais caro porém as embarcações são muito melhores. Eu particularmente sai de picinguaba e por não ter anandando em alto mar com barco pequeno senti bastante medo no início da viagem.
