If you’re looking for a corner of paradise where you can truly switch off, this trip to Santo Aleixo Island is just what you need. We’ll take you to discover a volcanic paradise surrounded by emerald green waters. Welcome to one of Pernambuco’s best-kept secrets.
Day Trip Details
We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Recife and head south. After about 1.5 hours on the road, we’ll arrive in Sirinhaém, where a speedboat will be waiting for us. Ready? In just 15 minutes, we’ll be stepping onto the exclusive Santo Aleixo Island.
Once there, we’ll set off on a relaxed guided walk around this protected 38-hectare island. A local guide will lead us to the other side to reveal the crown jewel: Horseshoe Beach. The name makes perfect sense once you see its unique shape from the shore.
You’ll then have free time to enjoy this little oasis at your own pace. Stretch out on the sand, take a dip in the calm, crystal clear waters, or simply soak up the scenery. If you get hungry, you can enjoy the lunch you brought with you or grab something at the beach bar.
After 8 hours of exploring and unwinding, we’ll hop back on the speedboat to Sirinhaém and then drive you back to your hotel in Recife.
Hotel Pickup
This activity includes pickup from hotels in the following areas of Recife: Pina, Piedade, and Boa Viagem. If your hotel isn’t located in one of these neighborhoods, we’ll contact you to arrange an alternative meeting point.
