Unmissable walk - We were organized by the Viagens Agency Enterprise Rnb Turismo and this ride is highly recommended. Enterprise management was excellent. We made the semi-terrestrial journey to avoid the Catamaran which makes it more direct but being by open sea causes more problems of dizziness. Many places to eat, paradise beaches and many activities to do. We stayed two days but it is advisable to consider more days to make the most of this nice place.

Essential - An indispensable tour for those who go to MSP. We did with an agency called MSP Tourism, the sailor was Felipe, excellent professional. It is a full-day walk, so prepare to burn in the sun and arrive tired (laughs). Pools of Garapua and Moreré are "top", stop in Boipeba is "ok", return by the River of Hell to Cairu and then an excellent sunshine. You can go, it'll be very good. Search the tide table, visit the low tide near 12h if possible.

OF THE BEST OF BAHIA - The excursion to the Morro de Sao Paulo is a must-see that combines visiting a 17th century fortress with paradise beaches. Very pleasant boat trip, then about 1 hour by micro and then about 10 minutes by boat leave us at the Morro, where we will see the church of Our Lady of Light, fully restored, and a street winding through where only passers-by and some affected vehicle to Service. On those blocks you will find stores selling clothing and handicrafts. Beach 2 is where most bars and restaurants are and I recommend a quick tour comparing prices and services before lunch because they will find price differences, especially in the places recommended by the guides, which are the most expensive. Note that Cover and Table Service (almost 10% more) are added to the price of the menu. The use of parasols, chairs and chairs is free of charge If you are going to beach, do not hesitate to choose the 3 which is a rough beach, with calm waters and if you have time the 4 is a more picturesque beach although not indicated to walk as it is rockier.

Return by speedboat to the island of Tinharé - The excursion around the island is worth visiting several natural pools and beautiful beaches, such as Morere and Boipeva. It's a speedboat ride on the high seas, time-consuming and sometimes uncomfortable.
