Program details

Prepare to be dazzled by Brazil’s idyllic northern coast on this exhilarating 1-day tour. Spend a day roaming the paradisiacal coastline, witness exotic wildlife, and learn about this fascinating region's rich historical and cultural heritage in the bustling port town of Cabedelo.



A visit to the exotic northern region of Brazil is a must for nature lovers and culture seekers alike! On this tour we have combined both interests. We start by taking you to explore the unspoilt beaches of Tambau, Nanaira and Bessa. Along this spectacular stretch of sun-kissed coastline you will be greeted by miles and miles of deserted beach. We will stop to observe a sea turtle nesting area at Intermares. Have your camera at the ready as you get up close to these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.



As your tour continues, we’ll drive along the coast past the beaches of Camboinha and Formosa before reaching the vibrant port town of Cabedelo. As you make your way through the town, you will see the Colonial Fortress of Santa Catrina. This strategically positioned fortification was the city’s primary defence against the Dutch who threatened the Portuguese rule of Brazil. Views from the walls offer picture-perfect panoramas of the ocean and beaches. You will also visit the official starting point of the Trans-Amazon highway.



The return journey includes a stop for lunch where you have the chance to try the region’s wide variety of freshly caught seafood dishes. You will also be given plenty of time to conclude your day by soaking up some sun. Enjoy the sensation of sinking your toes into the soft powdery sands and take a leisurely dip in the azure ocean.
