Private buggy tour along Maragogi's north coast: Burgalhau, Barra Grande with the Caminho de Moisés, Praia de Antunes and Praia do Xaréu. Buggy exclusive to your group of up to 4, with a fixed price per group.
The North Route is the most popular in Maragogi: four beaches in around two hours, including the Caminho de Moisés and Praia de Antunes. By car, the same stretch would take the whole morning.
The buggy is exclusive to your group — you don't share it with other tourists. The price is fixed per buggy, for up to 4 people, and doesn't change whether you're two or four.
The stops are arranged with you during the tour. Along the route, you can stay longer wherever the group likes best.
This is the only route that passes it. The sandbank appears in full on tides of 0.2 or lower — if this stop is a priority, choose a low-tide date. Check the tide table here on the site, or ask us and we'll suggest the best day.
The buggy is driven by a licensed buggy driver who knows the region and sets the order of the stops according to the tide and how busy the day is.
The tour follows the coast along sand tracks and stretches between coconut groves. The buggy doesn't drive on the beach itself: Maragogi lies within the APA Costa dos Corais, a federal protected area, and driving on the sand is prohibited by law. The beaches are reached on foot, a few metres from where the buggy stops.
We also run the South Route, with the ruins of the São Bento Monastery, Salgado, Bitingui and the Boqueirão cliffs; and the End to End route, which joins both ends of the coast in a single tour, with 7 beaches. Ask us on WhatsApp.
The tour departs from Maragogi. If you're staying in town, we arrange to meet at your guesthouse or at a central point. If you're in Maceió or another destination, getting to Maragogi is at your own expense — and we can include the transfer in your itinerary, just ask on WhatsApp.
The tour leaves from the centre of Maragogi and can head north (Barra Grande, Ponta de Mangue, the tidal pools and the cliffs) or south (São Bento, Japaratinga, coconut groves and a viewpoint). The side is chosen on the day, with the buggy driver — it depends on the tide, the weather and beach conditions. Both cost the same and last the same, and you'll have a good day on either.

Per buggy. The price is fixed for up to 4 people — it's the same whether you're two or four. There's no extra charge per person.

* North Route (this one): Burgalhau, Barra Grande, Antunes and Xaréu. It's the only one that passes the Caminho de Moisés. Busier beaches and shallow water. * South Route: ruins of the São Bento Monastery, Salgado, Bitingui and the Boqueirão cliffs, heading towards Japaratinga. Longer, quieter and not dependent on the tide. First-time visitors to Maragogi usually choose the North.
It's a natural phenomenon that happens at low tide, when a sandbank surrounded by sea forms and you can walk between the waters. It appears in full on tides of 0.2 or lower. Above that, the path isn't fully visible — but the tour goes ahead as normal, with the other stops on the route.
Only the Caminho de Moisés stop. The other three beaches work on any tide. Check the tide table here on the site before choosing your date, or ask us and we'll suggest the best day. If the tide isn't favourable, the South Route is a good alternative.
No. This whole coast lies within the APA Costa dos Corais, a federal environmental protection area where driving vehicles on the sand is prohibited. The route runs along sand tracks and stretches between coconut groves, always hugging the coast, with stops on foot at the beaches.
No. It departs from Maragogi and getting to town is at your own expense — by hire car, transfer or other means. If you're in Maceió, we can put together an itinerary with the transfer included: message us on WhatsApp.
Yes. Children count as passengers within the buggy's 4-person limit. Let us know their ages when booking so the driver can prepare.
* Sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap or hat * Swimwear and a towel * A dry change of clothes * Cash or card for a snack at the stops
Yes. Up to 48 hours before departure, with a full refund (or free rescheduling). With less than 48 hours there's no refund, but you can reschedule free of charge to another date with availability.
