About us

Oscar Indica was born from a simple wish: to show Alagoas the way locals know it — with the technology travellers deserve.

Who Oscar is

Oscar Pires was born in Ubatuba, on the coast of São Paulo, lived a few years in Europe and knows 12 of Brazil's 27 states. He has bought a lot of tours in his life. And what annoyed him most was always the same thing: paying and hearing nothing back. Nobody confirms, nobody tells you the time, you do not know whether anyone will show up.

That is why he chose Maceió to live in and, in 2026, opened Oscar Indica Turismo Ltda, registered with Cadastur. The house has one rule: whoever buys is never left without news. The name is literal: every tour on the site is a tour Oscar recommends because he would do it with his own family.

What happens after you pay

• Straight away: the receipt lands in your inbox, with all your booking details
• Right after: the person in charge of pick-ups messages you on WhatsApp to introduce themselves and confirm your hotel and time
• If you booked through a salesperson: they remain your contact until the day of the tour
• The day before: we message you on WhatsApp with the exact time and pick-up point, and send a reminder by e-mail
• On the day: the driver knows your name, your hotel and your flight, if it's a transfer
• Afterwards: we ask how it went

The operation's numbers, CNPJ and Cadastur are at Why trust Oscar.

What we do differently

• The tide calls the shots. We don't sell natural pools on a high-tide day just because there was a seat left in the van. The site's calendar shows the tide for each day and warns you before you pay — and the tide table is public.
• The van picks you up at your hotel. No meeting point on the other side of town: you choose your hotel at checkout and get the time the day before.
• Fixed price, no catch. What you see on the site is what you pay. Day passes, speedboats and buggies paid on site are flagged as such.
• Gente de verdade no WhatsApp, from 06:00 to 22:00, every day — in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Flight changed, it rained, want to switch the day: a real person sorts it out.
• Clear rules before you pay. Book by 6pm the day before; cancel with a refund up to 48 hours before departure; after that, rebook free of charge. It's in the policy, at checkout and on your receipt, with the exact date.

What only Oscar has

We built tools to help you decide better, not just buy: the quiz which builds your itinerary around your profile, the Build your Itinerary with an automatic discount and one full-day tour per date, the map of every destination departing from Maceió, the Oscar Combina to travel with people who suit you, the Trip Piggy Bank to pay monthly at a locked-in price, and OI Indica, which pays a commission to anyone who recommends us.

Who it is for

For the couple coming for the first time who want the three classics (Maragogi, Gunga and Milagres) without getting the tide day wrong. For the family with children who need shallow sea and a van that picks them up at the hotel. For our neighbours from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela, served in Spanish and with international cards. For companies that want a team outing with an invoice. And for anyone who lives in Maceió and has not yet seen the Foz.

Onde estamos

Rua Murici, 109, Cruz das Almas, Maceió/AL. We leave every day for Maragogi, São Miguel dos Milagres, Praia do Gunga, Praia do Francês and Foz do Rio São Francisco; beach clubs in Ipioca and Paripueira; Dunas de Marapé; and transfers from Recife to the whole north coast.
