Before you book

Buggies
Hire only accredited buggy drivers. A buggy takes up to four people besides the driver. Ask for a ride 'sem emoção' if you want it gentle.
Tides
The Maracajaú reef trips depend on the tide. We check the table and can swap the order of the day.
Short version
Genipabu alone works as a half day. Message us for a price.
Start time
Starts at 07:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.
Language
Guided in English. Other languages on request, if we have notice.
Cancellation
Free up to 24 hours before, refunded in full.
