How to arrive from the Center of Rio de Janeiro or the airport to the island?
I understand that the journey may seem difficult, but it is not. Read this page with attention, even print it, and do not desist from their dream trip and come to Ilha Grande.
The easiest, safest and fast way to get there is by hiring a private transfer can be called like "REGULAR" (shared) or "PRIVATIVO" (individual) to the Angra dos Reis city.
Follow the link that I offered you or click on the Taxi image for more information, estimated rates and contact with a local provider.
If you want to travel by public transport, follow these instructions:
You will have to find the RODOVARIA (bus station in portugues). To reach the Rodoviara you can take a cab in the airport or Copacabana aéra (aprox R$ 60), or take the bus (REAL COMPANY) for going there. If decide going by bus take care NOT CROSSOVER to Rodoviaria stop, REMARK to the driver you need get off in Rodoviaria, I´m sure you hate him if you need return back to bus station on walking in this town in Rio.
 
Once you arrive at the RODOVIARA station, you will find an office where you can buy tickets of the company COSTA VERDE to go to ANGRA DO REIS city.
In Mangarativa City you have a ferry at 08.00 am every day and other to 22.00 but only on Fridays, but I recommed go to Ilha Grande from Angra dos Reis, have more options and good structure if you need spend the night in the mainland.
The bus trip to Angra costs about R$ 35 and takes 3 hours or 3 1/2 hs. (In March registerd till 3.5 hous because man are working in the route maintenance)
