Handmade jangada raft out to a sandbank in the middle of the sea, between Maragogi and Japaratinga. Crystal-clear water, few people, a 2h30 trip. For those already in Maragogi.
A different, still little-explored tour in the Maragogi area, for anyone after crystal-clear water, calm and fewer crowds. The Croas de São Bento are natural formations about 2 km off the coast, between Maragogi and Japaratinga, boarding from Praia de São Bento.
At low tide a sandbank appears in the middle of the sea. As the tide rises the scenery changes, but the area is still excellent for swimming. Average duration 2h30, on a handmade jangada raft (traditional sail raft) with a licensed skipper, a regulated boat and life jackets.
The price does not include transport: the experience is for those already in Maragogi or Japaratinga, or arriving on their own. The time follows the Maragogi tide table and the meeting point at Praia de São Bento is given in the booking confirmation.
No. It's a local experience: you get to Praia de São Bento on your own. If you're staying in Maceió, the full Maragogi tour is a separate product, with a van.
