What you can expect
We would love to take you on a snorkeling trip to the beautiful island of Djeu and show you the most beautiful landscapes Boa Vista has to offer!
The little island of Djeu (right in front of the bay of Sal Rei) breaks the current, which makes the water very calm and makes it one of the best places to snorkel. It is a good place to swim even if you are not that strong of a swimmer. We often see many different types of fish, coral but sometimes also (baby) sharks and sea turtles.
What can you expect during the tour?
The tour starts by us coming to pick you up at the hotel between 08:30 and 09:30. The exact time depends on which hotel you are staying at.
We will take you with us to the beach in Sal Rei where we go onto the boat.
It takes only around 10 to 15 minutes to arrive at Djeu Island.
All the snorkeling equipment is provided and included in the tour price.
Once you arrive, you can take your time and will have around 1.5 hours to snorkel in the bay and explore the island. The island has a fort built during the Portuguese colonial period to protect the bay of Sal Rei from pirates. The fort is named Duque de Bragança.
After the roughly 1.5 hours (we aren’t so strict haha) we will take you back to the beach bar where we will have lunch.
After lunch, we will continue the tour in a 4x4 pickup. You can either sit in the back of the pickup or in the cabin.
We start the south part of the tour with the most beautiful beach on the island. Santa Monica Beach. Here you'll have time to walk around a bit and our guides are happy to make pictures of you here (No extra cost haha).
After Santa Monica Beach we continue to the lighthouse. Here you have a beautiful view of Santa Monica all the way up to Shark Bay.
The next stop is the caves at Praia Varandinha. If you enjoy taking pictures this is the place for you!
We continue the tour to Shark Bay. On this side of the island is a lemon shark nursery. The baby sharks are here year round.
After Shark Bay we continue to Turtle Bay. The turtles are also year round in Turtle Bay. Mostly you can see loggerhead and green turtles in the bay.
We finish the tour in the sand dunes of Morro de Areia. This is one of the most unique landscapes of Boa Vista. Here you can also try sandboarding.
We will personally take you back to the hotel. You will roughly be back at the hotel around 16:30.
We hope to see you soon and to show you all the beautiful things Boa Vista has to offer! (Depending on the weather quality of that day we either start with snorkeling or finish with snorkeling)
