The Buzios trolley sightseeing tour is a unique idea that was born inside the mind of Cesar Fernandes. Durig one of the motocross events in Buzios, Cesar saw the beautiful scenery from one of Buzio's high vantage points. The thought of a tour passing by for the scenery began and evolved for two years. The Buzios trolley sightseeing tour was eventually fleshed out with a converted flatbed truck. Padded seats are riveted to the bed while a canvass tent shields tourists from heat. The Buzios trolley sightseeing truck has a seating capacity of 35 and a microphone and speaker which the guide uses to point out history and facts of Buzios attraction. Before or after the tour, tourist can take advantage of a mini golf facility to relax, have fun or pass the time.
The Buzios trolley sightseeing tour starts near the Praia da Armacao. As the trolley nears the beach, tourists may be able to see Ilha do Caboclo in the foreground while Praia do Canto is to the left. As the Buzios trolley sightseeing tour continues, the tourist will pass by the statue of the French actress Bridgette Bardot; who made Buzios known throughout the world. Upon arriving at the Pracca dos Ossos (Square of Bones), the guide tells tourist Buzios why the square was given the name of Bones. Azeda and Azedinha, two remote beaches, may be accessed only by a trail from Praia dos Ossos beach or by acquataxi (water taxi).
After Pracca dos Ossos, the Buzios trolley sightseeing tour resumes as the truck starts to go uphill. Tourist Buzios are given a nice view of Jaoa Ferandes and Jaoa Fernandinho. Another visible Buzios attraction is White Island which marks the boundary between the calm waters of the peninsula and the dangerous open waters that are off limits to local touring boats. As the Buzios trolley sightseeing truck goes higher, the Ponta do Criminoso becomes visible to the tourist Buzios. Ponta de Criminoso used to serve as loading and unloading points for pirate cargo. At the first Buzios trolley sightseeing tour stop, tourists are given the opportunity to view Jaoa Fernandes, Ilha Feia, Praia Brava and Praia Olho de Boi.
The Buzios trolley sightseeing tour continues on through various sceneries of strips of beaches and coves, snacks and even a geology lesson. The idea of seeing all of these while sitting in an open-air, flatbed truck, is certainly a novel experience that tourist Buzios must not miss. As a matter of fact, the Buzios trolley sightseeing tour is a Buzios attraction in itself.
