Overview

Do you want to feel like a real local and enjoy a day off on one of the best beaches in the area? Take this tour then! We leave the city to the north and drive along the most beautiful beaches of Bahia, on the Coconut Coast. We'll have splendid views of the dunes, lagoons and the Ocean itself, sovereign green and blue. Our final destination is Praia do Forte, a former fisherman village and, now, the most important touristic destination. Here you can visit the TAMAR Project that protects the five species of sea turtles that reproduce here along the coast, and see these huge and ancient reptiles just in front of you. Another possibility is to visit the old and mysterious Fort of Garcia D'Ávila, build on top of a hill with a fantastic panoramic view. You can try some delicious local dishes in one of the many cosy restaurants. Finally, enjoy the gorgeous tropical beach and get into the real Bahian mood with a caipirinha, a grilled cheese, a swim and a tan and relax as a real Brazilian!
