No. Maragogi is on the north coast of Alagoas and Ilha de Santo Aleixo is off Sirinhaém, on the south coast of Pernambuco. Two days, two different roads.

Maragogi. The natural pools only appear at low tide, so the date and time come from the tide table. Santo Aleixo leaves at 08:00 every day.

Yes. Santo Aleixo has a short trail and Maragogi is shallow water. Give us the ages when booking so we can arrange life jackets and seats in the van.

The crossing depends on sea conditions, not on rain. If the sea makes it impossible, we rebook at no cost.

Yes: food, drinks and local fees, such as day passes and boarding fees when applicable. These are paid on the day, at the destination.

It does, but the time changes every day: the natural pools only open at low tide, so the departure follows the tide table. We confirm the time the day before.

About 3 hours each way from Porto de Galinhas. It's a full-day tour, with an early start and a return at the end of the afternoon.

It depends on the day's tide. It only appears when the tide drops low enough, and that doesn't happen every day. Nobody can guarantee it in advance.

Food, drinks, the Villa Beach Club day pass (R$ 20 per person) and the boarding fee, where applicable. These are paid on site, on the day.

They pay the same as an adult. Babies in arms go free. Give us the ages when booking so we can sort out life jackets and seats in the van.

No. A life jacket is compulsory on the crossing and the water in the natural pools is shallow, waist-deep most of the time.

Rain doesn't cancel the tour: what matters is the sea. If the sea prevents the crossing, we reschedule at no cost.

The catamaran is more stable, has shade and carries more people, which is why it's cheaper. The speedboat is faster and more private.

Ilha de Santo Aleixo is in Sirinhaém, on the southern coast of Pernambuco, between Porto de Galinhas and Praia dos Carneiros. The island is reached by boat; on this tour, the crossing is by speedboat.

This tour includes return transport by van, hotel pick-up within the pick-up area, the speedboat crossing and a trail walk to explore the island. When comparing offers, check whether road transport is also included: buying only the crossing means organising your own journey to the boarding point.

Yes. Pick-up covers accommodation in Porto de Galinhas, Muro Alto and Maracaípe, within the pick-up area. Give us the name and address of your accommodation to confirm the pick-up point and time.

Departures are scheduled every day at 8am. Check availability for your chosen date and confirm the exact pick-up time for your accommodation.

The estimated duration of around 8 hours covers the full experience, including road transport, the crossing and the visit to the island. Time on the island itself is shorter than the total duration; confirm the schedule for your departure when booking.

The trail is part of exploring the island, which has natural terrain and rock formations. Bring footwear suitable for walking. If you have reduced mobility, ask the team about the route before booking; do not assume the whole visit is accessible.

The advertised inclusions of this package are transport, the speedboat crossing and the trail walk. Food, drinks, chairs and parasols are not advertised as included. Check with the team before booking to confirm the conditions and any costs for beach facilities.

The tour also welcomes families. Tell us the children's ages before booking to confirm the conditions for taking part in the speedboat crossing and the trail, as well as the applicable prices. Do not assume participation or free entry is confirmed by age alone.

We recommend swimwear, a towel, a change of clothes, sunscreen, a hat or cap, water and footwear suitable for walking. Protect your mobile and personal belongings during the crossing.

It is a good option if you want to see an island on the Pernambuco coast and combine sea, walking and natural scenery in a single day. The included transport makes the visit easy if you are staying in Porto de Galinhas, Muro Alto or Maracaípe and want the journey and the crossing organised together.
