In a nutshell

We sail the azure waters of Lagoa do Mundaú, admiring beautiful lakeside views, populated by hardworking fishermen, and surrounded by lush mangroves and towering palms, and then enjoy a dip in the blue waters of this fascinating ecosystem.

The programme

We leave the port by coach in the direction of Massagueira, which is a few kilometres to the south.
We arrive at the quay where a boat awaits us, to whisk us away on a spectacular cruise over the waters of Lagoa do Mundaú with its marshes, islands and channels.
This lagoon and the adjacent Lagoa Manguaba, to which it is attached, form one of the world's largest lagoon complexes. We sail among the nine islands that dot the waters, a protected area that boasts incredible biodiversity.
During this peaceful trip, we can admire the large mangrove forest growing on the shore, interrupted by beautiful white sand beaches on which stand willowy palm trees caressed by the wind.
In this environment of rare beauty, we stop to dive into the literally unique ecosystem of the lagoon: swimming in the blue waters of a tropical paradise is an experience not to be missed. And with a little luck we can observe the local fishermen engaged in their daily activities.
We then return to Massagueira quay, where we find our coach to return to the ship.
