Overview

Garapuá is located after the best-known beaches of Morro de São Paulo and has a landscape where the Atlantic Forest, coconut trees and waters protected by reefs meet. The route combines 4x4 access along the coastal road with a boat trip to the natural pools — a way of getting to know the island beyond the busy center.

The experience

Departure takes place in the morning, traveling in a 4x4 vehicle to Garapuá. The path crosses stretches of sand and sandbank landscapes, with possible stops depending on the conditions of the day and the group's pace.

At the beach, a local boat takes you to the rock pools during the appropriate tide. There is time to swim, watch the fish and enjoy the floating bars, always respecting the environment and sea conditions.

The return route passes through Praia do Encanto, where the landscape changes again before returning to Morro de São Paulo. A half-day itinerary with adventure, sea and space to experience each stop independently.

Destaques
