Boipeba and Moreré — Speedboat Ride from Barra Grande

Departure is at 9am, earlier than other tours in the region, because the itinerary is longer: a whole day dedicated to two of the most charming villages in Arquipélago de Tinharé. The order of stops changes according to the tide of the day — and not by chance: Moreré's coral pools only form and are safe for swimming when the tide is low, so the itinerary is organized around this time, not the clock. What doesn't change is the essentials: the car-free sand streets of Boipeba and Moreré, diving in the coral pools of Moreré among colorful fish, and the walk along Ponta dos Castelhanos, with its kilometers of white sand between dunes and coqueiros — a stretch so empty that it's common to walk without passing anyone for minutes at a time. Lunch is free, at Boipeba, with time to choose between the village's restaurants before heading to Canavieiras, ending the route along the narrow river branch that cuts through the mangroves, with the mangroves closing above the boat in some sections.
