Igarassu & Itamaracá Day Trip
Description
Embark on an enchanting journey through stunning coastal landscapes with our day trip to Igarassu and Itamaracá. Departing from Recife, this excursion allows you to explore some breathtaking destinations along the Brazilian shoreline.
Day Trip Details
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your accommodation in Recife, as we head north toward the historic town of Igarassu. Known for being the second-oldest settlement in Brazil, Igarassu's streets and surroundings reflect the heritage of its early inhabitants, set against a backdrop of verdant nature. Prepare to be captivated by the beauty of Praia do Capitão.
The first highlight of our day will be an exclusive beach club at Capitão Beach. This serene escape offers all the comforts for complete relaxation, featuring hammocks, sun loungers, and a gentle sea breeze. Delight in the local cuisine at the club, or for those seeking adventure, there’s the option to rent kayaks or engage in various activities available on-site.
As we continue our journey, we will board a catamaran to navigate the northern coast. On this vessel, we will set sail towards the storied island of Itamaracá. Here, you'll uncover the intriguing tale of the renowned "Ciranda de Lia" and explore the formidable Fort Orange, a Dutch fortress that has stood sentinel since the 17th century.
Our final stop will be the delightful island of Coroa do Avião, a picturesque sandbank enveloped by crystal-clear waters and untouched flora. Enjoy some leisure time to take a rejuvenating swim in this idyllic environment before we conclude our excursion and return by land to your hotel.
Your memorable experience wraps up approximately 8 hours later as we drop you off at your accommodation. Until next time!
