There are many route options that appeal to both great adventurers and those who just want to relax and enjoy the fresh air.

When hiring a boat trip, you will have the option to choose some of the routes already defined by the company or create your own itinerary. The best choice is to opt for the second option and discover incredible places like Botinas Islands, Praia do Dentista, Gipoia Island, Praia das Flechas, and Praia da Piedade.

An unmissable route!

The starting point for boat trips is always at the Santa Luzia Station. Before boarding, pay attention to all the crew’s instructions and take the available safety equipment. Once on the boat, get ready to experience a breathtaking adventure.

The first stop is the stunning Botinas Islands. These are two small islands with palm trees amidst a sea of crystal-clear waters in various shades. Take the opportunity to dive and explore the marine fauna, with many colorful fish and starfish. If possible, bring a snorkel and mask to make the moment even more incredible.

The next destination is Gipoia Island, a hidden gem known for its tranquil coves and stunning landscapes. It is precisely on this island that the famous beaches of Piedade, Flechas, and Dentista are located.

Praia do Dentista

It is one of the most surprising beaches on Gipoia Island. From afar, you can already see a vast expanse of Atlantic Forest and white sand. Add to this incredible view a sea with transparent waters in shades ranging from blue to green. This is the ideal beach to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with nature. Alternate moments enjoying the white sand with diving in the sea and take in this amazing experience.

Praia das Flechas

Leave Praia do Dentista around lunchtime and head to Praia das Flechas. Enjoy a delicious beachfront lunch, prepared with fresh seafood, while contemplating the amazing sea in front of you. After lunch, take a walk along the beach towards the left side, which is completely preserved and free of constructions. There, you will even see turtles swimming in the sea.

Praia da Piedade

The last stop of this trip is Praia da Piedade. It is formed by a small strip of sand, surrounded by lots of greenery and crystal-clear waters. Here, you will find one of the island’s main symbols: the Piedade Chapel, built in the 1960s. In front of the chapel is a small island with houses that used to be frequently visited by celebrities.

Tip: The best time to visit is during low tide. This way, you can walk in shallow waters, swim without worry, and truly see the beauty of these small beaches that form between the chapel and the former celebrity island.

After enjoying the last stop of the trip, the boat returns to Santa Luzia Station, and you bid farewell to this incredible day on paradisiacal beaches. Such a trip lasts about 7 hours on average and can be done at any time of the year. It is an experience that goes beyond words and will create memories that will last forever.
