You drive

Quad, Buggy and 4x4 (Garapuá)

A day of quad, buggy or 4x4 to Garapuá, with stops and optional pools.

What the tour is like

A day of adventure on land, crossing the island by trail to Garapuá. It departs between 10:00 and 10:30 from the Segunda Praia reception point, stops at Praia do Encanto and returns at 17:30.

You choose how to go: driving your own quad or buggy, with a driver's license, or on the shared 4x4, with no need to drive.

Here the ride matters as much as the arrival: you cross stretches of forest and coconut groves, stop along the way to enjoy the view and reach Garapuá with time for the beach and lunch.
