Santo Aleixo Island Day Trip

If you're seeking an idyllic retreat where you can completely unwind, the journey to Santo Aleixo Island is perfect for you. Join us to explore a volcanic wonderland embraced by vibrant turquoise waters. Experience one of Pernambuco's hidden gems.

Day Trip Overview

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Recife, followed by a southward drive of approximately 1.5 hours. Upon reaching Sirinhaém, a swift speedboat will be ready to whisk us away. Just 15 minutes later, we’ll set foot on the stunning Santo Aleixo Island.

Upon arrival, we will embark on a leisurely guided tour of this preserved 38-hectare paradise. A knowledgeable local guide will take us across the island to unveil its highlight: the spectacular Horseshoe Beach. The uniqueness of its shape from the shoreline will leave you in awe.

You will have ample free time to relish this serene sanctuary at your leisure. Feel free to lounge on the beach, immerse yourself in the tranquil, crystal-clear waters, or simply appreciate the breathtaking surroundings. If you’re feeling peckish, you can either enjoy the lunch you’ve brought along or choose a delicious option from the beach bar.

After a blissful 8 hours of exploration and relaxation, we will board the speedboat back to Sirinhaém, followed by a return drive to your hotel in Recife.
