Removed from Unnamed collection

Porto Seguro is brimming with attractions, and one that stands out is the Recife de Fora Marine Park. It's a haven for marine life enthusiasts, offering one of Brazil's richest collections of underwater biodiversity. This park is home to an array of rare species, including vibrant corals, colorful fish, and graceful turtles, all displaying a mesmerizing beauty.

Recife de Fora is essentially a vast natural pool, sprawling over 17 square kilometers right in the heart of the sea. While only a section is open to tourists, the rest is a protected area to preserve its natural wonders. Here, you can indulge in different types of diving, like snorkeling and scuba diving, in waters that reach depths of up to 15 meters.

The adventure begins with a delightful 45-minute schooner ride to the park. Onboard, you can rent a snorkel and get ready to explore the underwater paradise. To ensure everyone's safety and to make the experience truly enjoyable, the schooners set sail during low tide, when the conditions are perfect for diving. Remember to keep an eye out for the playful dolphins that sometimes accompany the boats; it's a magical sight you won't want to miss. If you're planning a visit, keep in mind that the best time to explore Recife de Fora is during the dry season, from July to December. During these months, the water is crystal clear, offering unparalleled visibility for spotting marine life.
